MOYANG MELUR
Moyang Melur (Malaysia). In the beginning of human evolution, humans had no rules to live by and were constantly committing murder, incest and cannibalism. Legend has it that at the time, the rules were kept secret by a spirit named Moyang Melur, who was half human and half tiger, and dwelled on the Moon. Being curious one night, he leaned too far out to see the chaos on the Earth below and accidentally tumbled down to Earth. Once on Earth, he met a hunter by the name of Moyang Kapir, to whom he swore that if he did not get back to the Moon at once, he would destroy the entire human race. After hearing that, the hunter managed to throw a rope up to the Moon and they both climbed up together. Secretly, Moyang Melur wanted to eat Moyang Kapir but the hunter figured it out and escaped swiftly down the rope to Earth, taking with him the secret bag of Rules for Human Behaviour, which he had found in Moyang Melur's hut on the Moon. Through Moyang Kapir, these important codes of proper human conduct was passed down to his people and they soon changed their evil ways.

Project’s Research

Research Method

From my house to the orang asli heritage center gombak, it takes about 30-40 min to reach there depends on the traffic. Im using the MRR2 highway to reach there from Kampung Pandan, then from Ampang straight to Gombak which i have to enter 'Pekan Gombak'. Then from there, i have to went to the village area of Gombak where the direction to the orang asli center and village must be through that road. The scenary there was pretty amazing because it is jungle and well preserve. Going there wasn't actually that hard because i got someone to guide me there who is my friend. When i reach there, it just amazing to see that there, all the facilities, like hospital, schools have been provided and nicely  build for them. from there i realize that im going to snap some pictures, and doing interviews . i have to capture the scenary arround the village and the museum to share it with my audience.

Orang asli community can be divided into three main ethnic groups. Namely Negrito,Senoi and Malay proto. The Negrito mostly found inhabiting the northern and east part of peninsular Malaysia.

This group is divided further into three sub ethnic grouping such as Kensiu, Kintaq,Jahai,Lanoh,Mendriq,Bateq. They are nomadic and their economics is derived from hunting and gathering jungle produce. In physical terms, these people is short in stature,with brown skin and curly hair.

The ethnic senoi make up the largest group and process characteristic is similar to the Malanesian, Austroloid and Nesiot. In terms of physical stature, they are slightly taller than the ethnic negrito, with curly hair, and lighter skin. The ethnic group represents 55 percents of the total number of Orang Asli in the peninsular and can be divided into two big groupings. Namely the Senoi Temiar in the North and Senoi Semai in the South. They still practice hunting,shifting agriculture and seeking out jungle produce such as rattan and gaharu wood.
