  • Poverty, Inequality and the Lack of Basic Rights Experienced by The
    Poverty, Inequality and the Lack of Basic Rights Experienced by the Orang Asli in Malaysia Submission on Malaysia in advance of country visit of the Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights OHCHR by Ooi Kiah Hui ([email protected]) Focal person for Orang Asli land rights Senior Director, Policy, Advocacy & Research, Malaysian CARE The Orang Asli population of 217,000 (Nicholas, 2019) in Peninsular Malaysia comprises 18 tribes, each a distinct people group with their unique culture, language and social norms. They are the poorest and most marginalised group in Malaysia, with over 50% categorised as poor and 33% living in hard-core poverty, compared to 0.7% hard-core poor of the national average (Economic Planning Unit, 2010, Department of Statistics, 2010). Many villages, even those located near small townships, without paved roads, no electricity, no direct clean water supply nor sanitation services. The situation of the Orang Asli in our midst today exemplifies the clearest links between poverty, inequality and the deficiency of human rights in Malaysia. Diminishing customary land and decreasing economic independence Although cash-poor, the Orang Asli were for generations an independent people group. They provided for themselves and their families sufficiently through forest resources and subsistence farming. However, the increasing encroachment of native customary land has led to severe violation of almost all sectors of their basic rights - rights to clean water, to food, to health, to shelter, to security and to life. The infringement of customary land rights is the most conspicuous sign of the extent of the marginalisation and inequality.

  • Perak Harapan 'Worries' Husni Will Defend Najib, 1MDB Once Again
    Perak Harapan ‘worries’ Husni will defend Najib, 1MDB once again MalaysiaKini.com 28 Februari 2018 Perak Harapan chief Ahmad Faizal Azumu is concerned that Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah will have to once again defend Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and 1MDB, should the former minister contest in the 14th general election. "Allah wants us to fight against any wrongdoings. "I'll be worried sick if Husni plans to stand again in the next election, for he will defend his boss, Najib, and all the wrongdoings in 1MDB," Faizal told Malaysiakini, in response to Husni saying he is ready to contest in GE14 with Najib’s approval. Husni abruptly resigned as second finance minister, and all his posts in Umno, before the 2016 cabinet reshuffle, after claiming he received a "sign from God." He also said he had been under heavy stress for several months prior, as he was tasked with resolving the growing 1MDB controversy, despite not being part of the debt-ridden state fund when it was first set up. However, a year later Husni seemingly changed his tune, declaring himself a loyal Najib follower, and insisting that the prime minister would leave behind a "zero corruption" legacy one day. The Tambun lawmaker said that his experience as a former cabinet minister and head of the local Umno division for 23 years could be the platform for BN’s continued victory. Faizal also wished Husni "all the best" and expressed hope that the latter would be selected by BN to defend his seat. "He said it himself, he's a 'one horse person'.

No-confidence Vote Delay: Muhyiddin On Shaky Ground? By Prashant Waikar SYNOPSIS The Muhyiddin government has delayed a widely anticipated vote of no confidence on his prime ministership when parliament reconvenes on 18 May. Is the new prime minister, whose legitimacy is being contested, feeling insecure? Or does he have the requisite numbers to support him — or is it both? COMMENTARY THE MALAYSIAN parliament is set to reconvene for a single day on 18 May 2020. It marks the first parliamentary meeting since Muhyiddin Yassin took over as prime minister through the controversial Sheraton Move, bringing into power a new governing coalition informally known as the Perikatan Nasional (PN). When he was sworn in on 1 March, the deposed ruling coalition Pakatan Harapan (PH) immediately disputed Muhyiddin’s claim to majority support. One of Muhyiddin’s first decisions as prime minister was to postpone the parliamentary sitting scheduled for 9 March to 16 April – a move clearly designed to buy time and consolidate support. Muhyiddin’s MCO Muhyiddin’s steps taken to stem the COVID-19 pandemic were drastic.
