Who they are
The Jakun are one of the primary indigenous peoples of Peninsular Malaysia, living in forest and rural areas across the southern part of the country. Traditionally connected to the forests and rivers, they preserve a rich cultural heritage and their own language, while facing the challenges of modernization and the loss of their ancestral lands.
