Listen and talk to us directly, Orang Asli urges the government

They said encroachment into the Orang Asli reserved land as well as disrespect for their way of life in the forests had resulted in continuous and increasing fatal conflicts of wildlife and the people.

About 100 Orang Asli representatives including Tok Batins and community leaders from Kelantan, Perak, Pahang, Johor, Negri Sembilan and Selangor attended the event. Jakoa was under the purview of the Rural and Regional Development Ministry, helmed by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

Earlier during the dialogue, Fatimah Bah Sin 49, told Nik Nazmi that Jakoa had become a silent enemy to the Orang Asli community, despite the department being appointed to help the community. "We won our appeals against the state company but until today, the state has yet to acknowledge our win and they still depend on Jakoa to speak on behalf of us, which the latter tend to side with the government.

"In Sabah, this has been successful as then the herd of elephants are able to pass through the plantations without having to break up and damage the crops," he added.
