Kensiu Orang Asli in bid to save language from extinction

Not many Malaysians are aware of the existence of the Kensiu, one of the few surviving Orang Asli communities from the Negrito tribe in Kedah.

With a small population of 350 dwelling in Kampung Lubuk Legong, about 12km from the rural town of Baling, it comes as no surprise when this ethnic group is faced with the challenges of preserving their culture, including their native language which has been assimilated with other languages.
