Description

"There may be several factors for the stark difference in the population figures for the Kanak, and the Jakun and Temuan. One is that even from the beginning of their settlement in Malaya, the Kanak were a much smaller group compared to the other two. This can be deduced from historical records that they were a small group who split from their community in the islands south of Singapore and came to Johor about 200 years ago (Carey, 1976). On the other hand, the other two groups had arrived much earlier than them, and had a much longer period of time to build their communities in more than one location, compared to the Kanak whose settlement is restricted to Bukit Tinggi, Johor."
