GUA MUSANG: Alarmed by the rampant land clearing near their settlement to make way for agricultural activities, the Orang Asli residents of the Temiar tribe in Kampung Kelaik, Pos Blau, here have urged the state government to gazette their native customary land.
A resident, Uda Busu, 42, said only 100 people are left at the settlement from the initial 200 because most of them had to move to nearby iron ore mining areas as food and forest products were becoming scarce.
“Recently, residents’ rambutan, rubber and durian farms at Kuala Cenroi were destroyed by a company and we were not given compensation. We do not know who to approach to claim for compensation. “We are also Malaysians; the authorities should meet us to discuss matters before giving permission to the company involved,” he said at Kampung Kelaik, Pos Blau.
“We appeal for the authority’s cooperation to declare that the Orang Asli of Kampung Kelaik hold customary rights to the land.
