The Ma' Betisek are a group of aborigines who live on the mangrove
coastal area of Selangor in peninsular Malaysia. Dr Karim's study
is mainly focused on the Ma' Betisek communities on Carey Island,
off the west coast of Selangor and in particular threevillages -
Sungei Sialang, Sungei Mata and Sungei Bumbun. Few changes have
taken place in the lives of the Betisek people on the island since
1975. On the mainland, the Ma' Betisek are busy keeping pace with
development and modem life. However,despite increasing
deforestation and new urban influences on the island, the Carey
Island communities continue to preservetheir naturistic ideas of
how humans should live with plants and animals. Dr Karim's research
focuses on this issue.
