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.
