Fascinating piece on the Orang Seletar and the memories of the places they once knew in Singapore.
"A nomadic sea people, the Orang Seletar have for centuries called the Tebrau Strait (Johor Strait) their home as they roamed along the mangroves, shores and rivers in the northern part of Singapore and on the southern side of peninsular Malaysia."
