Description

"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."
