JOHOR BARU: The Orang Asli community in Johor is being exploited by outsiders, and steps need to be taken to address this situation, says the Johor Ruler.
Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar said some of the Orang Asli have been carrying out illegal clearing of land to plant oil palm, chop down sandalwood trees and also trap wildlife.
Sultan Ibrahim said the Orang Asli community in Johor was well taken care of as the government has built roads, houses, schools and surau. Some places even have Internet facilities. “Sultanate land also has its own enactment, and the land cannot be encroached upon or exploited by others,” he said, adding that it was time that the Orang Asli also adhered to the law.
“Let me see for myself their cleanliness and hygiene,” he said, adding that during the recent floods, his boats were used to help the affected Orang Asli.
