Ajis is determined to help improve the welfare of the Orang Asli so that the kids can go to school.
DATUK Ajis Sitin, 56, is on a mission to get the indigenous kids back in school. Jakoa’s first Orang Asli director-general is a Semai tribesman from Ulu Jerai, Kuala Lipis, Pahang. A civil engineer by training, he doesn’t think his previous role is that different from his current responsibilities.
“It’s important to go back to the basics. As an engineer, I’m well-versed in financial, project, and people management. These are the same skills needed to help improve the welfare of the Orang Asli. I understand their issues because I am from the community.
