What are the realities facing Orang Asli communities in Malaysia today?
It is a question that touches on everything from education and healthcare to identity, representation and the way development is carried out on the ground.
This episode looks at a policy brief Orang Asli Advancement and the Right to Land, Territories and Resources, published by the Center for Orang Asli Concerns (COAC).
BFM talks to Dr Colin Nicholas, the founder and coordinator of the Center for Orang Asli Concerns, about those lived realities, who the Orang Asli are, how policy has shaped their experiences, and why some approaches to development may be falling short.
