IPOH: The Orang Asli in Perak are hoping the state government will formally declare their right to their “tanah adat” or ancestral land, says Gabungan Balei Sengik Sen’oi representative Dahil Yok Chopil.

He said that there has been no response from the Perak government even though five memorandums have been sent to the state government on this issue since 2003, including the latest which was sent to Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad on Thursday (Nov 25).
