Kelantan orang asli issue ultimatum to GE14 candidates


PETALING JAYA: In the centre of a controversial blockade in Gua Musang, the orang asli community in Kelantan has issued an ultimatum to GE14 candidates: accept our manifesto or risk losing our votes.

For the first time ever, Jaringan Orang Asli Kelantan (JOAK) has drafted its own manifesto demanding the recognition and protection of their native rights that they said have long been neglected due to a lack of political will.
