"Dunn (1975: 109) also noted that the Orang Asli have played a significant role in the Malaysian Peninsula's economic history as collectors and primary traders as early as the 5th century A.D. This is confirmed by Andaya and Andaya (1982: 11), who suggested that an internal trading network had linked the periphery of the forest with the hinterland. By this means, goods were bartered and passed from one group of Orang Asli forest dwellers to another, sometimes over forest tracks but most often along rivers."

"The appropriation of Orang Asli resources, particularly their traditional territories, becomes an important project of the state for both economic and political reasons. Economically, because Orang Asli lands are no longer considered a 'frontier' resource, such territories are now a much sought-after factor-of-production, especially if they can be obtained cheaply."

"Much of the rationale for governmental approaches to Orang Asli development has its roots in the development theories of the 1960s and 1970s. Even today, the basic philosophy underlying the current development strategies remains the same, although the specific programmes may differ. As such, in order to help situate the current context of Orang Asli politics and development, a brief discussion of the various development models that continue to influence Orang Asli is given below. The critiques and deliberations of several researchers as to the appropriateness of these policies follow this."

"Economic dealings with the neighbouring Malay communities were not uncommon during the past few hundred years, especially for the Aboriginal Malay groups. There seemed also to be a certain amount of interaction between the Orang Asli and the other ethnic groups, particularly the Malays who resided along the fringes of the forest."

"In agriculture, a gendered division of labor is also important: men fell the large trees, women slash the underbrush; men fire the swidden; men use dibble sticks to punch holes in the soil for the rice and legume seeds while women follow with a small seed basket attached to a string around their waists and drop a few grains into each hole. Both sexes plant cuttings from vegetatively propagated plants, such as cassava, banana, and tuba (Derris spp.). Both weed-to the extent that weeding is done."

"The women, by contrast, did not own a single piece of audio equipment. If their personal belongings had increased, it was because their husbands had chosen to given them things. With few exceptions, the women had stopped producing the smaller cane for sale, saying that it was not worth it."

"Semai society is certainly no longer the fully 'traditional' society that the elders remember it to be. However, there are more reasons than the mythical defiance of Semai males like the bean-pod son in the story that have caused changes in the Semai natural order of things. Semai no longer live in relative isolation. On the contrary, they continue to be coerced into the modern economy where money is the accepted medium of exchange."

"The greater Baansakai community not only includes the Maniq settlement, but also a mixed community of Pattani-Malay speakers and Southern Thai speakers, the Malay speakers constituting the majority of the greater community. The primary economic industries of the entire village are harvesting rubber latex and a variety of fruits. There is a primary school offering grades 1-4, Standard Thai being the medium of instruction."

"The JHEOA goal in regroupment schemes is to foster cash-crop arboriculture. The favored crop is rubber, though the price of rubber is generally low and subject to wild variations depending on world market demand. probably the Department continues to favor rubber because it requires little skill to grow and process, needs minimal equipment, and fits Departmental expertise."

"For Orang Asli, the benefits of developing golf courses and resorts are indirect at best. It takes two or three hundred workers to build a golf course. but only about forty to run it, fewer if it is mechanized. A few Semai with the equivalent of a high school diploma have jobs at resorts in the Cameron Highlands. In general, however, these jobs are no better than the ones they replace: occasional labor as rural proletarians collecting forest products or working in the fields."

"Orang Asli contact with Chinese is largely economic. They sometimes sell products to Chinese middlemen, work in Chinese enterprises like tea estates, and buy things from Chinese shops. The only credit available to most Orang Asli is that which Chinese extend to people who work for or trade with them. Despite some exploitation, there is enough mutual benefit that business relationships between Chinese and Orang Asli are common throughout the Peninsula."

"The people who have lost the most from development in Peninsular Malaysia, however, are Orang Asli, the "original people" or "aborigines." Orang Asli have not only been left behing in the rising prosperity of the nation, their economic condition has deteriorated. They have been transformed from economically independent food and commodity producers to landless wards of the state, confined more and more to dusty regroupment villages where they eke out a living from casual wage-labor, rubber-tapping, and collecting rapidly dwindling supplies of forest produce for sale. This has happened despite the fact that a special government agency concerned with their welfare, the Department of Aboriginal Affairs (JHEOA), has existed since 1954."

"The great popularity of such goods, and the resulting demand for cash, has gradually shifted the focus from communal to individual ownership. But this movement is still in its very infancy, since opportunities to earn money are very limited. Cash is therefore an additional but not an essential item."

"Other items which are almost universally accepted are salt, matches and inexpensive lighters, knives bought from the stores, and imported tobacco and cigarettes. All these articles are readily available in village shops which are located in areas adjacent to the jungle. With the exception of these articles the Negritos, especially those in the more remote jungle, are still very largely self-sufficient and almost completely independent in their lack of reliance upon the outside world."

"The economic activities of the Negrito population are basically simple and even primitive when judged by modern standards, or when compared with those of the other Orang Asli tribes, such as the Temiar. But we should not allow any misapprehensions or misconceptions to arise at this point."

"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."
