Retract statement and apologise, Perak MB urged


PETALING JAYA: Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu (pic) has come under more fire for saying that there is no such thing as ancestral land for Orang Asli under the state constitution.

Peninsular Malaysia Orang Asli Villages Network chairman Tijah Yok Chopil is now asking Ahmad Faizal to retract his statement and apologise as she said his action contrasted Pakatan Harapan’s manifesto, which promised to be considerate towards Orang Asli issues and recognise their ancestral land.
