摘要：AbstractThis study explored the oral tradition practice among the local aborigine particularly the Semai people who live in Southeastern Perak of Peninsular Malaysia. Oral tradition is considered as a way of the aborigines to deliver lessons of life to their younger folks. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to discover the traditional knowledge that was passed down from generation to generation. The findings revealed that the main knowledge that is still being delivered through this system of oral tradition is the traditional beliefs of the Semai people. There are four fundamental beliefs of the Semai which are the belief in the spirit of Sewang, the supremacy of animals, the almighty sense of nature and the continuance of life after death.
