Title

The study of Orang Asli-Malay minority-majority relations necessitates...

Description

"The study of Orang Asli-Malay minority-majority relations necessitates an understanding of social realities in the uneven access to political and socio-economic resources. It is also concerned with understanding concepts of justice, freedom, autonomy within minority indigenous democratic worldviews which have evolved to explain and rectify imbalances in rights over land, housing, security, education, language and culture. For the Orang Asli, many of these notions of indigenous democracy provided equitable rules of social relations and behaviour, in an environment where scarce resources necessitated redistributive system which were more egalitarian than hierarchical."
