‘Indigenous refers to orang asli and orang asal’

KUALA LUMPUR: The term “indigenous peoples” includes the orang asli and Malays in the peninsula and the orang asal in Sabah and Sarawak, said Suhakam chairman Tan Sri Hasmy Agam.

“We are not going to be sidetracked by an opinion that the term ‘indigenous peoples’ may not include orang asli.”
