Mendriq Orang Asli hold on to kalung sireh tradition


GUA MUSANG: Only a small segment of the Mendriq Orang Asli community continues to practise the tradition of consuming kalung sireh (roots of the sireh bukit plant), which has been practised by their ancestors for hundreds of years.

According to housewife Anis Jusoh, 40, finding the plant is difficult because it only grows in certain remote forest areas and can take up to two days to locate.
