Economy Development








The government through Jabatan Kemajuan Orang Asal [JKOA] have initiated many economy development projects to improve the living standard of the 'orang asal' community. However, these initiatives will not be take of if there is no initiative by the people.

Kampung Pisang folks are lucky to have a young and energetic 'batin' (village chief), Nasiri. A 'batin' play an essential role to ensure the government plans are carry out and implemented well. He shall be sensitive to sense allocations and responsible to work it out with JKOA.

The Kampung Pisang folks are now embark to cocoa planting with the allocation and assistance from the JKOA. Hope this will be a successful project.

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.
