Colin Nicholas says the bigger issues affecting the communities in Johor are their rights and securing the gazettement of ancestral land as settlements.
PETALING JAYA: Two activists have ridiculed a Pulai by-election candidate’s pledge to build a new jetty to serve Orang Asli communities if he wins at the polls on Saturday.
“Making such a statement in such a period clearly shows selective goodwill. This may have worked if he was here 50 years ago during the country’s first or second election, but now we have seen so many promises thrown by the wayside. Suhaizan had said the new jetty would benefit the Orang Asli in Kampung Sungai Temon and Kampung Bakar Batu, but Nicholas said the community in the latter village will be moving to a new settlement in Sungai Tiram soon.
Nicholas accused the government of failing to fulfil its fiduciary duty of gazetting the land as an Orang Asli settlement, adding that the date of their resettlement remains unknown.
