Orang Asli youths trying out new technology (Petaling Jaya, Selangor).

The Orang Asli have not developed in isolation but have continually changed and adapted themselves, and their social organization, to those they came in contact with, either on their own accord or as a result of circumstances foisted upon them. Increasingly, also, their lives are becoming inseparable from their relations with the external systems of expansion and domination. (Colin Nicholas, 1993)
