Orang asli: Build schools near our villages

KUALA LUMPUR: A group of orang asli from Kelantan has appealed to the Government to build schools near their villages following the traumatic experience of losing five children who left their school hostel and went missing in the jungle of Pos Tohoi last year.

“We know that education is important but after the incident, parents are left in a dilemma (of whether to send their children to school) as they are still traumatised and scared,” said the Network of Kelantan Orang Asli Villages deputy chairman Nasir Dollah.
