Parti Orang Asli Malaysia president Rashid Ka’ said the National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations were always a bittersweet affair as many of his people were struggling in life due to poverty. Rashid said this was among the reasons why he decided to form Asli last year with the hope of defending and championing the Orang Asli community through a political platform, and not just activism.
Rashid also believed it was the right time for the Orang Asli to have their own party as other political institutions were formulating policies that could leave a mark on the community’s daily life.
