Miss Eco International Malaysia 2017
The Orang Asli are the indigenous minority peoples of Peninsular Malaysia. The name is a Malay term which transliterates as ‘original peoples’ or ‘first peoples’. It is a collective term introduced by anthropologists and administrators for the (officially) 18 ethnic subgroups generally classified for official purposes under Negrito, Senoi and Proto-Malay. They numbered 178,197 in 2010 representing a mere 0.6 per cent of the national population (28 million). This National Costume is inspired by the Mah Meri. The Mah Meri are of the Senoi subgroup. The main highlight of this costume is the mask. Each decorative mask has its own story associated with it relating to its origin or ‘moyang’ resembling an animal, humans and spirit. Mah Meri also have their own special use in traditional healing (sakat buang) and ceremonial dances (Joh and Tengkeng). Most of the members of the Mah Meri tribe live along the coast of South Selangor from Sungai Pelek up to Pulau Carey, although there is at least one Mah Meri Community on the other side of the Klang River in Selangor State of Malaysia. Most of the Mah Meri live in small villages (kampungs) on the fringes of other cities and on Pulau Carey.
