A book in the read though have it at least two years and read occasionaly. It is a manuscrpt concerning Orang Asli the local aborignies in malaysia an amount of ca 55k inhabitnts in a 30 M country. I could expect much more than this number. as it shows these original prople are out of the conrol of the society living in llonghouses . It was very iteresting to me about their mon KHmer and the related, origins ie not truly Malay and that their way of living seems quite localistic comaring to our western standards. There is also much in the history of them throughout this book .
this book is one of the ca 100 books i have collected in a period of ca 25 years!
