Dana’s charity trip to Aboriginal villages in Malaysia was a big success.
We visited the Aboriginal people (mainly of Semai ethnicity) in Dem 17 Tapah. There are three villages including Kampung Dem, Kampung Skem 1 and Kampung Skem 2 scattered in a hill surrounded by a dam. According to the census, there are 130 families in this area.

Unfortunately , this area is gated by Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), hence these villages are not easily accessible by the public. We need to send in an application letter beforehand to obtain permission for our food trucks and volunteer vehicles to enter.

After a 5 minute drive from the gate, we arrived at the bottom of the hill. There is no pathway for cars to access the villages. Thankfully the people came down on their motorbikes to help us carry food and other donated items up to the village. It was a 20 minute walk from the bottom to the first village; from the first village there was another one hour walking distance before arriving at the furthest village.

We were lucky enough to have an adventurous motorbike ride to reach the village. The road was barely wide enough for the two wheels to pass. Without any proper fencing , the villagers were actually exposed to the risk of falling down the cliff. Up to date, this area has no electricity supply and no phone network or internet coverage.
