JOHOR BARU: The Seletar cultural centre at Kampung Sungai Temon, near Taman Perling here, has got to be one of the best-hidden gems in the state as it highlights the lives of Orang Laut or better known as Orang Seletar, one of the Orang Asli tribes in Johor.

The villagers and the Malaysian Society of Marine Science (MSMS) jointly set up the centre, which covers about 232sq m, with RM60,000 funding from the Global Environment Facility.
