Title

Description

"The issue of the Orang Asli's assimilation, however, is not merely a concern of the ruling government. The opposition Islamic party PAS concurs with the view that Islamisation should be a strategy for lifting the Orang Malays. The PAS Member of Parliament for Kubang Kerian, Mohamed Sabu, even suggested that, "instead of being recognised as Orang Asli, they should be assimilated into the Malay race. Their culture should be integrated so that they will no longer be considered separated from Malays." (The Star 26.11.1997)"
