KUALA LUMPUR, June 14 — Dewan Rakyat Deputy Speaker Datuk Ramli Mohd Nor has proposed that “legal vacuums” found in the Aboriginal Peoples Act 1954 be addressed through a constitutional amendment.
“If we look at Ninth Schedule, the responsibility of the Orang Asli is listed under the Federal List 1, Item 16 , whereas land matters were listed under List 2 State List. “So, what I want to suggest is that, with the political stability that exists now — 148 MPs — I request that minister, and I will also speak to the law minister regarding the amendment so that the welfare of the Orang Asli can be placed under the Federal Concurrent List,” Ramli told the Parliament while presiding over Rural and Regional Development Deputy Minister Datuk Rubiah Wang’s response to debates on the Suhakam Annual Report 2020.
“Right now, it doesn’t exist. The previous governments we didn’t have political stability, and now we have 148 MPs, two-thirds majority.
