We are born unto the embrace of Mother Nature, accepting her gracious blessings. We thrive upon her benevolence, hydrating the earth, providing us with food; boundless oceans, rich with resources. Meanwhile, a group of people live close with Nature, they form intimate bonds with the earth and the sea. Mother Nature blessed them with harvests and revenue. They plant crops in agricultural lands, gather edible plants in the wilderness, involve in coastal aquaculture, fishing in the deep sea, adhering to natural life patterns. 

They worked tirelessly, pursuing a single career path, sticking to their duties for the better part of their lives, bustling around farms and forests, taking a plunge among tides and oceans. They rely upon Mother Nature to make a living, yet at times grapple with Mother Nature. They are skilled in steering, coping with unpredictable weather and environmental changes. They bend with respect, accepting daily challenges to coexist with Nature. 

Despite exhaustion and setbacks, they do not hesitate to make the best out of it. With environmental virtue and reverence for the ocean, they look upon each harvest as a blessing. They humbly describe themselves as insignificant, often overlooking their great contributions. At times they take risks regardless of their own safety, grasping each opportunity no matter at what expense. They led simple and contented lives, caring tenderly for seeds sown to plant vigorous crops albeit shortchanging themselves.

Mother Nature is the source of all lives and nutrients, in each land and plantation, each valley and forest, each river and ocean, there are farmers and fishermen who toiled ceaselessly to supply us with fruits and vegetables, fish and meat, and food for our tables. They may appear inconspicuous, or drowned in commotion, disregarding their age spots and dark marks, they discreetly compose a story of co-existence with Mother Nature

Touching the hearts of listeners without melodious tunes, reticent amid chaos, living a peaceful life. Be it in forests and fields, on rivers and oceans, or in the streets and lanes, they could be found addressing various needs of the people with their expertise; selflessly contributing to the living environment, family, and society. These diligent tradespeople, through quality products or exceptional service full of human touch, pass on the legacy of cultural heritage. 

Forefathers who emigrated to Malaysia in the early days experienced a long period of scarce resources and poor standards of living, most of them making a living by land cultivation or handicraft. Despite harsh conditions, they trudged on without slacking instead of retreating in fear. Some of them developed a passion for the industry under constant influence, and continue to carry forward the spirit; some of them inherited expertise from the previous generation, preserving the quality and passing on the skills; some of them adapt to times transformation, thinking out of the box to pursue innovative ways.

In the ever-changing present lifestyle, most people value speed and convenience, subsequently some industries are facing a dilemma, especially tedious work performed under difficult situations. Younger generations are less interested in traditional handiwork, unwilling to take on dull work or skills that are less profitable, causing some traditions and culture to be nearly extinct after centuries of inheritance. Tradespeople who dedicated the better part of their lives to their work inevitably feel worried about the probable loss of heritage.

Trickling streams merge into rivers and oceans, each drop of laborious sweat may seem insignificant, yet full of vigour. Relentlessly abiding by their duties, they undertake the responsibility of cultural transmission. Together we listen and stand witness to these arduous trails.
