Sons ...

petang ni janji nak jumpa anak dari keluarga Temuan ...

he's coming from K.Pilah to Seremban. I know he is coming on a motorbike and now hujan pula so i called him boleh lewatkan ... perlahan lahan. but he said hujan juga kat sini meaning k.pilah so can we meet tomorrow. InsyaAllah tomorrow then. now i have more time to look into our previous conversations and identify gaps in the data.

masyarakat Temuan ramai di N.Sembilan ... so far i have been in contact with those in Sg Tekir di Labu and Senibai di Johol.

let me introduce them ...

according to JAKOA (Jabatan Kemajuan Orang Asli) terdapat 3 suku kaum utama komuniti Orang Asli di Malaysia ...

the Negrito, Senoi and Melayu-Proto.

dan setiap satu kaum ada 6 pecahan suku bangsa yang berbeza ... so all together 18 suku bangsa ... bunyi je ramai but each suku bangsa sikit je some less than a thousand ...

details Here JAKOA

 and Here Wikipedia BM

and Here A Temuan

Temuan is a suku bangsa in Melayu-Proto. The majority of them in N.Sembilan. Mereka mengamalkan adat pepatih juga ... some Muslims, some Christians, majority masih belum beragama. i think (to be confirmed) the Christians are in the majority nya dalam former Estates Orang Putih dulu ... they were workers in the Orang Putih plantations now taken over by the GLCs ... they have chapels built for the workers. A Tok Batin from a village in Seremban is a Christian.

Temuan di Johol yang beragama, ramai yang Islam. ramai juga yang masih belum beragama ...
mudahan many more of us want to be closer to them ... so that just as we would like to understand them so would they like to understand us ...

isn't that what we are here for ?

Love and Salam
