Tok Ulang(65) is cutting trunk of tree for top roof of new house. Malaysia is one of the most fast developing country nevertheless , the modernism there is a group of people still lives with the way of their origin called “Orang Asli“ which means original people. They have been a attractive object to me since I arrived Malaysia. I have made several visits to their villages around Selangor however most of them are adopted modern life style and no longer keep their transitional way of life. MeanwhileI was still searching for a place where kept their traditions, my fixer found one is located in Ulu Yam, from KL about 30min driving distance. First visit was June 2014 and had an interview with chief of village, Tok Ulang(65). Coincidentally the village had a plan to move soon to look for better environmental for living. I have a permission for taking a photo of their movement and started observe their movement and daily life for 4 months, June to Oct 2014. The culture and life is well preserved in tradition and same time they are adapting current society of Malaysia in a way of selling and earning money. They are trying to secure a stable income source for living through expanding of various farms such as fruits, honeys, herbs, chickens, ducks and fishes, and washed Tins are a key item to trade to fast cash. Earnedmoney is spent for buying goods for living. Through my observation, I could understand why they are called as “Original people“. Tok Ulang(65) is about 160 cm tall and able to build a house and new village with no special tools but only his hand and splits.
