  "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."

When this particular employer dies, his successor may not be as congenial or as experienced in dealing with the Negritos as his predecessor."

  "Age is obviously an important factor in regulating the social behaviour of the Kensiu, and this is reflected in their terminology. For example, in ego's own generation, the terminological distinction between siblings, and also cousins, is based upon age rather than sex. Ego is expected to behave in a fairly respectful way towards his siblings, and also cousins; they are to a large extent to his informal leaders and teachers as far as behavior is concerned"
