Visit to Rafflesia site. The uniqueness of the Rafflesia is not just its size and appearance, but the fact that it is a parasite that is totally dependent to a host vine (Tetrastigma, of the grape family) for survival and that the only visible part is the vine and flower. It has no roots, leaves or stem – nothing that is green. You’ll have first hand contact with the Orang Asli’s (the indigenous people). Visit the Jahai group from the Negrito tribe at Sungai Kejar. The gummy smiles of these shorter, dark skinned and curly haired people and their ancient song of welcome done to the rhythmic beats of bamboo shoots (Sewang) warmed our hearts.
