  "According to most authorities, the Proto-Malays are the last of the immigrant groups among the Orang Asli, and it is thought that they had come to Malaya some 5000 years ago. A widely accepted theory, based upon some archaeological findings, is that they came to Malaya from a location in Yunan, in present-day China, and that there was a good deal of intermarriage between themselves and the earlier Senoi settlers."

  "There is great deal of variation in the way of life of the Proto-Malays. Some of them, living in the remote areas of the jungle in Pahang, lead a semi-nomadic existence, and these people are much poorer and more backward than a majority of the Senoi. Other groups lead a completely settled existence, and their way of life is very similar to that of the Malay villagers."
