Compared to the Austronesian Orang Asli...

Title

Description

"Compared to the Austronesian Orang Asli, there are fewer records of the Austroasiatic counterpart. The Orang Asli recorded in Hikayat Abdullah in Singapore and Melaka were those of the Austronesian family. According to Benjamin (1968, p. 1), "there are virtually no historical records of any value" of their settlement in the hill areas of northern Malaya. Archeologists and historians have pictured their arrival and settlement using clues in the form of archaelogical artefacts found in Perak, Kelantan and Pahang. But we will leave the archaelogical facts aside as it is not within our expertise."
