An interesting documentary.

Sad, the orang asli are the indigenous people of the country

Om Ni

The real bumiputeras (sons/children of the soil/land)

Om Ni

However, they have been sidelined

Om Ni

Having a department of orang asli affairs has done nothing much to uplift their lot

Om Ni

It all boils down to politics at play from the looks of things, no?

Om Ni

Like everywhere in the world, Australia with their aborigines, New Zealand with the Maoris, America with the Red Indians, the orang asli here too are like an afterthought

Om Ni

With the later arrivals taking charge, claiming lordship/ownership of land and all that that conveys

Om Ni

Ai ya ya!!
