Some 2,000 Orang Asli have protested today in Putrajaya while 12,000 have signed a memorandum.

It’s all to do with the government’s proposed Orang Asli land policy, which one analyst has decribed as a recipe for planned poverty.

Check out the reason for their unhappiness here.

So PR, over to you!

Enough is enough, vote… Read more »

Hi everyone, The orang asli in Malaysia are the ‘real’ indigeneous people in the country. They’re the ones who should be given special privileges, not just per the NEP, but more of a purposeful protection of their customary land. Protect their 140000 hectares, or even more, from encroachment by vested and greedy interests!

The world has awaken
Malaysian has awaken
AND THE ORANG ALSI ARE NO MORE ASLEEP, THEY HAVE AWAKEN.

No Thanks to 52 years of an UMNO BN corruptible government that have trampled the people`s rights.

And this idiot PM Najis tried to (hoodwink) people with his … 1Malaysia.

Malaysians have woken up. UMNO/BN can’t hoodwink them anymore. All the b…s… they spin is best reserved for their own consumption.

Good always triumph over evil.

Maybe the gomen have learned something from the white Australians.

Sarawak natives are cowards comparatively. Thanks to their Wakil Rakyat.

If you want land just come to sarawak. you can have a land for free and no resistance from the natives.

Those orang asli have been the bumiputra here since the last ice age….

As a non-bumi, I propose this:

Let’s start calling the Orang Asli as “Real Bumiputera“, since they ARE.

Where is Ibrahim Ali, the ‘champion of Bumiputra’? I didn’t see him anywhere in the protest nor hear him saying anything to support the cause!

ha Ibrahim is champion of bumiputra in name only.
IN FACT HE IS THE CHAMPION OF BIG CHINESE BUSINESS MAN.

What has happened and continue to happen to orang Asli is the same as what happened to American Indians in the 19th century as the white men broke one treaty after another….

I truly hope that Orang Asli, all of them, have finally woke up now… and vote BN out in the next GE.

Najib spent too much time in Sarawak and Taib has taught him a thing or two, so he is trying his luck.

This what we call as sharing of information and cooperation
