The Orang Asli – recognised as the first people of Peninsula Malaysia. It’s a diverse collection of tribes and most, with government assistance, now live in riverine villages in Taman Negara. But there are some who still follow the old hunter-gatherer ways. But such a way of life – idyllic as it may seem, does not mean they have it easy. Host Paul Foster journeys up the Tembeling River and into the primeval forest in search of just such a community from the Batek tribe. His mission, to deliver tools and material that the Batek will need to sustain their traditional way of living.
