Not recognising Orang Asli customary land rights is wrong, says Ramkarpal


PETALING JAYA: Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu’s recent statement on customary land rights of the Orang Asli in Perak is "shocking" and "wrong", says DAP national legal bureau chairman Ramkarpal Singh.

"The Perak Mentri Besar's statement that Perak has no customary land (tanah adat) for any ethnic groups, including the Orang Asli, as the state constitution does not recognise the same, is shocking and reflects his ignorance on such matters, " he said in a statement on Tuesday (July 30).
