In the enchanted forest, I stumbled upon two Orang Asli kids and their puppy. The children are from the Temuan indigenous tribe. Photographed near the old Bentong road this morning.

The Temuan indigenous people from the Bukit Lanjan Orang Asli Reserve were relocated into modern bungalows as their jungle homes made way for development of Damansara Perdana. Consisting 147 bungalows, their little prime enclave of Desa Temuan is like a surreal world of its own. Originally kept as hunting dogs, some of their usually slim pets are now replaced by fatter, fluffier toy breeds.
