Ahmad Faizal had recently made several remarks on a dispute over the Orang Asli community’s demand for the state government to approve 12,456 hectares of customary land. “During Barisan Nasional time, our voices were twisted and Orang Asli land were used for development projects and were said it was for the good of the country.

Suaram director Kua Kia Soong speaks during the launch of the Suaram Human Rights Report 2018 in Kuala Lumpur May 28, 2019. — Picture by Miera Zulyana “One year after the new PH government has come into office, we find that human rights in Malaysia continue to be perverted because of apparent lack of political will to significantly reform the old Malaysian institutionalised politics of racism and racial discrimination.
