: The old Malay adage, ‘you can tell the fate of a chicken from its claws but not so for human beings’ best describes the luck of an Orang Asli child of the Bateq tribe, from Kampung Aring 5, here, when he was selected to join Johor Darul Takzim Academy.
He said what was more surprising was that he was personally approached by the JDT Scouting & Youth Development Department Head Diego Griffa who also met his father Baharom Pinang, 50, for approval to join the academy. “I have dreamt of becoming a famous player like my idol but thought it was impossible because I am just an Orang Asli villager in Gua Musang,“ he told reporters here today.“This Thursday I will go to Johor Bahru with JDT representatives. I have mixed feelings at the moment. I am feeling both anxious and excited.
Meanwhile, Orang Asli Kampung Aring 5 chief Raina Anjang, 53, said the selection of the lucky teen to join the academy was a source of pride for their tribe.
