Having lived in the wild for most of their lives, the Orang Asli, or aborigines, are expert hunters whose hunting tools include simple weapons such as blowpipes and spears, with which the Orang Asli in this postcard are armed. The aborigines of Peninsula Malaysia were also once known as the Sakai, a term used during the early days of British colonial rule.
