~Project Planning~

Design Issues: To create an application on the life of Temiar people.(orang asli)

Treatment: Temiar people is the fourth largest group of native people in Malaysia. Despite being the fourth largest community of native people in Malaysia, they remain largely unknown by most Malaysian. Thus, the creation of this application is important in spreading the words about their way of life and their culture. This is also important to make the 1Malaysia campaign as a successful campaign which will give huge benefits to the country and its people.

Target Audience: Teenagers and Young Adults (13 to 27 years old)

Possible Software:
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Premiere
Adobe Flash
Adobe Audition

Extended Research @ Orang Asli Museum...

Sunday-11 July 2010

The lack of detail information about the native people or orang asli in the net especially about the native people in the region of Banding, Perak.

The journey took about 45 minutes from my house to the museum, and the first trip I went there was a huge let down when it was closed. I decided to come back to have my extended research on the subject.


The purpose of my extended research here is to find out what the tribes and the sub-ethnics that I will face and spend time with on the field trip to Belum Forest. The one particular ethnic that really caught my attention is Jahai which falls under the Negrito's tribe or locally known as Semang.



Jahai


+the Jahai ethnic have a similar physical features to the Habsyi or the Black African.

+The Jahai people are known to be a nomad and they always build a simple house.



Some other sub ethnic that also scattered around Perak...
Lanoh


(Senoi Group) Semai


Semai people are said to be the largest group of indigenous people in Malaysia, they are scattered around the Titiwangsa Mountains.

There are also another ethnic that scattered in some region of Perak and that is the Semoq-Beri people. Also fall under the group of Senoi like the Semai people.

Orang Asli Settlement Proposal...

Design Issues: To create an application that can deliver the message about the reality of indigenous people in modern day Malaysia.

Objective: To get the information on the life style of the indigenous people in the modern world.

Target Audience: Global audience (teen and adult)

Design Statement: New Age Native People

My Plan: As the trip is already determined on which tribe that I will have a close look at (temiar people) a specific ethnic.


The details in the description that I got from my research at the Orang Asli Museum is not detailed enough and I am eager to experience their lifestyle myself. I also hope to get to see any incantation by my own eyes.




Brief History

The indigenous people has always been here long before the Malays and Bataks arrived. They have been living their simple life before the arrival of Indian traders trading goods between them.
The history of the indigenous people was filled with some dark period where they were turned to slave by the Malays and Bataks between the 18th and 19th century. The man was killed and the children and women was taken as slave due to the fact that they can be "tamed" easily rather than the mature Men.

The rise of Malay sultanate forced the native to move further inward into the jungle. Despite being treated like that, they were a key component in the critical period of the communism. With the help of the indigenous people, the Malayan army was able to defeat the terrorizing communist.

3 main Tribal Group(peninsula Malaysia)

• -Semang(Negrito)
• -Senoi
• -Proto-Malay

the 3 main part are further divided into 18 sub-ethnic group.
