Besides forest produce, the Orang Laut with their diving and swimming skills, provide marine produce such as akar bahar, tripang
in some parts of the region, the Orang Asli had importand leadership roles and at times even oversaw Malay subjects
In N. Sembilan, the descendants of the Orang Asli, referred to as Biduanda Waris, held an esreemed position in the administration of the region from the 16th century
The timidity and isolation of the Orang Asli also reflected their deeoriited and justified fears of Malays, who explooited and oppressed the Orang Asli
