Hand Make Craft Hall






As usual, I visited my 'orang asal' friends today. My first stop was Kampung Pisang. There is an amazing hall ..... This proved the craftsmanship of the 'orang asal'. The 'orang asal' handicrafts are beautiful. They plait bamboo and rattan mat, the rattan and bamboo can make wickerwork for walls.

 

The villagers has built a beautiful hall. This hall was build with tree trunks, rattan and zinc. The villagers built it together. This concept is known as 'gotong royong', where all the people in the village come out and do it together voluntarily. It took them almost a year to complete. All the building materials except the zinc were sourced from the forest.

The Perak State government contributed RM3,000 through Y. Bhg. Dato' Chang Ko Youn a year ago. It was only one of it kind in Jalong Tinggi.
