NGOs entering Orang Asli communities with ‘political motives’, says Zahid FMTNews FMTEng
SUBANG JAYA: Deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi claims that NGOs have set up a new Orang Asli political party with “ulterior motives”.
“They came in with various goals and ambitions, mainly to bring development and modernity, but I think there are some ulterior motives. For example, there’s now an Orang Asli party,” he said at a gathering of Orang Asli village chiefs here last night. Cameron Highlands MP Ramli Nor made a similar claim earlier this month. The country’s sole Orang Asli MP, who is also an Umno member, said he had learned that the Registrar of Societies had approved the formation of such a political party.
“Discussion sessions and workshops were held with the aim of acquiring input and suggestions from all the stakeholders, including the village chiefs, for improvement of the Act,” he said.
