TREATMENT

As we are going deep into the Orang Asli Settlement, I chose to provide essential knowledge regarding Orang Asli rights in the constitution. The core component that I'm going to make concern is the Rights of Orang Asli such as the percentage of gazetted area for them, are they being protected in the constitution, and etc. I will also give adequate infos on protectionism in the constitution towards Orang Asli because this is something significant that need to be preserved as the authorities had ignored their economic and sosial interest. To many of us, preserving environment is not a big issue but for them, environment is more than a collection of water, animals, plants and also landforms which means it is something to play with spiritual attachment.




OBJECTIVE

The aims of this study are to enquire about Orang Asli in the constitution and their rights today.
There are 2 main objectives which are
  • To provide essential knowledge of Orang Asli rights in the constitution to the people.
  • To protect their rights from being demolished

BACKGROUND SIGNIFICANCE

In general, not many people care about the Orang Asli rights. In order to educate them, I will turn up with my research and people can gain benefit by reading my articles and my interactive application. So every of us will have a good understanding on what’s happening in the Orang Asli community.

RESEARCH DESIGN & METHODS

Essentially, my research is based on interview with the Orang Asli community and its chief “Tok Batin”.  I believe this is a good way to know the dissatisfaction of Orang Asli rather than Interviewing the common people. I will be asking the Tok Batin and his people some questions such as how they are being treated by the government, are they happy with the serve from the government and other relevant questions. I will also bring my camera to take some pictures of them.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Overview

As we are moving forward, we tend to forget something significant that we have. Hence, we are lacking of researchers who can keep us updated about the Orang Asli community and not much information we can find on the net. For example, I was searching about sub ethnic  Temiar, and I found very little information on that ethnic. That’s why I need to go out of the city, discover the jungle and seek for the live conversation with them. Subsequently we will have updated info or relevant sources regarding Orang Asli.


Research Questions

I will do an interview with the Orang Asli and here are my questions that probably I’m going to ask.

1.       Do you know Orang Asli rights were mentioned 4 times in the constitution?
2.       How you are being treated by the current government?
3.       Are you happy with the place given for Orang Asli in the constitution?
4.       Is there any provisions for the Orang Asli?
5.       Are you happy with your current life?
6.     What is your past history? During the British colonial, Japanese occupation, and   communist erra?
7.       Can you compare the treatment you received from 3 of them?
