"TAMAN NEGARA" = "NATIONAL PARK"

Taman Negara is the oldest protected area in the country. Originated from the legislation of Pahang in 1925, which set aside 130,000ha of land designated as Gunung Tahan Game Reserve. Then declared as King George V National Park in 1938 by the Sultans of 3 states Pahang, Trengganu and Kelantan. To preserve the land's indigenous nature in perpetuity, it was gazette separately by each state's Enactments in 1938-1939. The park was renamed Taman Negara after the nation gain independence in 1957.No commercial exploitations is permitted, except for subsistence hunting by the aboriginals (the Orang Asli people).

Visit the Orang Asli !

People of The Rainforest

While many Orang Asli people have settled in permanent communities near the park, there are still Batek people living a semi-traditional life in Taman Negara. The Batek people are one of the Negrito tribes and have similarities to people from the Andaman Islands, the Philiphines, Indonesia and New Guinea.They are true nomads and are classified by some anthropologist as pygmies due to their short stature.

There are several theories on the harmonious relationship between the Orang Asli people and their habitat. One group anthropologist suggests that the hunters and gatherers could not have occupied tropical rainforest independently without access to sedentary agricultural populations which whom they would have traded goods. This theory presupposes that rainforests are not not easy environment for humans to survive in.

Today, about 500 Orang Asli live in the park at any one time. Itis possible to isit their communities as long as a recognized guide accompanies you. There isn't a great deal to see as the Orang Asli live very simple hunter-gatherer lifestyle. The accommodations is extremely simple, but for visitors who want to learn about these people it is possible to stay with them and accompany them on their daily activities such as forays into the forest in search of food.

Their typical camp usually comprises 10 to 30 family members living in temporary shelter made from natural vegetation,. There is slightly raised sleeping platform for protections from insects and open hearth for cooking and heat. The settlement area located near rivers and structures are not sturdy as they are only needed for a few month before the communities moves on.

The men hunt and share the spoils while the women fish and collect forest fruits and vegetables. The Orang Asli are renowned for their hunting prowess. The Batek believe animal living above the ground are clean so they hunt those living in trees such as birds, squirrels and monkeys. Originally the Orang Asli used bows and arrows but early this century they converted to blowpipes. Today, they still use 1.5metre bamboo blowpipes and poisonous darts to hunt on daily basis.

Usually visitors to any Orang Asli community pay their guide for all travel arrangements and the community receive some of the money. While offering a gist is appreciated, visitors need to be careful about the type of gift. For example, sweets, cigarettes and junk food and inappropriate while rice and other staples are appreciated.
