Context (Amendments / updates)
'The term 'C=" Negrito" T=Semang' was removed from the Cultural Group field as this is a slang term that is considered inappropriate and offensive in Malaysia, and does not refer to a specific cultural group. As advised by Alice Rudge, a visiting researcher from the British Library [22/10/2018]'.
