KUALA LUMPUR: A consultant has to be appointed to carry out tasks related to amending the Aboriginal Peoples Act 1954, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

The Rural and Regional Development Minister said this was because there were no experts on legal issues at the Orang Asli Development Department (Jakoa).
