Jakun families may have permanent home

ROMPIN: For better or for worse, the Orang Asli village of Kampung Bukit Biru here has been thrust into the limelight.

A few Orang Asli families of the Jakun community built their houses some 10 to 15 years ago in the area where the village now stands, drawn to the location by the “opportunity” of supplementing their income from the sale of recyclables picked at a landfill 300m away.Gradually, the number of families grew into the 22 now.
