Orang Asli's House

Through my research on the Orang Asli house, there is basically nothing much of a difference between the type of house the Temiar and Jahai tribe live in. Both have a major similarities from the process and ways they build, and to the materials they use.

Even though the government has sponsored them building a modern wooden house, most still prefer to live in their traditional wooden house just because it's much cooler. They say the type of material used on the roof makes a whole different of the temperature inside the house. I would have to agree to that because, when i stepped inside their traditional wooden house, it feels so cool and relaxing.

These are photos of houses from the Jahai and the Temiar tribe I took while i went to the Belum Rainforest.

Plans of the Navigation

Since I will be focusing on a small topic, I plan to have 4 main pages including the main page of the application which is the home.

There will be an 'About' page where I'll include informations of the Orang Asli such as, their history, types of group and their demography around Malaysia. The next page would show my main idea of the application which is focusing more on the Orang Asli house. The page will include an overview of how the houses are built. The next page will be the 'Gallery' page where there will be pictures at the Belum Rainforest, the Jahai tribe and the Temiar tribe.
