Description

"However, Orang Asli women sometimes had other priorities. Arlech, who lived in the Ulu Plus, was delegated by an her group's headman to assist a British traveler camping with them, carrying water up from the river for him, collecting his firewood, and the like. But it seemed she lacked "maidenly modesty", since she wore only a loincloth and was embellished with face paint, a nose qill, a monkey-teeth necklace, and earplugs of dried leaves. The headman considered her a beautiful virgin but Knocker, the visitor, was not impressed."
