Kampung Sungai Bumbun. The Mah Meri (pronounced Mak Miri) were the original people of Carey Island. The Mah Meri (Mah meaning people and Meri meaning forest), originally known as the Besisi, also call themselves Ma Betisek, which means, "people with fish scales". The Mah Meri are one of the nineteen Orang Asli people groups of Peninsular Malaysia. They are officially classified under Senoi subgroup. See samples of their woodcarving and handicraft at the Mah Meri Cultural Village. There is a small gallery with exhibits of their exquisite carvings of masks and statues. Call and book in advance if you wish to view traditional dances or demonstrations. Otherwise if you just walk-in it would cost you RM5 per person but there wouldn't be much to see other than the small gallery inside, which will hardly take 15 minutes of your time.
