The Orang Asli, the Forgotten Malaysians

from The Breakfast Grille · host BFM Media

Peninsular Malaysia is home to 18 Orang Asli tribes that make up 0.8% of the country’s population, but despite indigenous status they have been denied a litany of rights under both the constitution and the Aboriginal Peoples Act (APA) 1954.
