  "For Orang Asli, the benefits of developing golf courses and resorts are indirect at best. It takes two or three hundred workers to build a golf course. but only about forty to run it, fewer if it is mechanized. A few Semai with the equivalent of a high school diploma have jobs at resorts in the Cameron Highlands. In general, however, these jobs are no better than the ones they replace: occasional labor as rural proletarians collecting forest products or working in the fields."

These people have economies partially devoted to subsistence and partially to supplying commodities and labor to the market economy."

  "The people who have lost the most from development in Peninsular Malaysia, however, are Orang Asli, the "original people" or "aborigines." Orang Asli have not only been left behing in the rising prosperity of the nation, their economic condition has deteriorated. They have been transformed from economically independent food and commodity producers to landless wards of the state, confined more and more to dusty regroupment villages where they eke out a living from casual wage-labor, rubber-tapping, and collecting rapidly dwindling supplies of forest produce for sale. This has happened despite the fact that a special government agency concerned with their welfare, the Department of Aboriginal Affairs (JHEOA), has existed since 1954."
