via The Star, 30 January 2024: Kuala Lumpur’s Orang Asli Craft Museum, though modest in size, plays a pivotal role in preserving and showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Malaysia’s indigenous peoples. Offering an array of crafts from various Orang Asli sub-ethnic groups, the museum provides insights into their daily lives, traditions, and artistry.
The Orang Asli Craft Museum in Kuala Lumpur, the location where this scene was set, plays an important role in disseminating knowledge about the Indigenous minority of Peninsular Malaysia not only to the younger generations but to the public in general.
It may be humble in size, even more so in comparison to the National Museum that it stands next to, but its space is largely adequate to exhibit the crafts made by the country’s various Orang Asli sub-ethnic groups.
Walking past the focused crowd, we ventured further inside the museum. Through a short, narrow passage decked with images of hunters and their hunting equipment, we reached a rectangular room at the back that showcased more of the Orang Asli crafts.
