The term Bumiputra in...

Title

Description

"The term Bumiputra in the Malaysian sense can be translated into "indigenous" or "native". In the figure above, the Orang Asli are indigenous people together with Malays and the Non-Malay Bumiputera. At the same time, there is also the sense given to the term "indigenous peoples", who are defined as "a special kind of ethnic minority" (in Maybury-Lewis and MacDonald, in Denton at al., 1997, p. viii) - a definition not in line with that given in the Oxford Dictionary quoted above which gives indigenous as equivalent to native."
