Orang Asli
Relationship between Orang Asli and various group
Before WW2
The Senoi and The Negrito were more isolated from the outside world before WW2
Many modern Malays have some Proto-Malay blood
The Chinese community in the Malay States had much less contact
with the Orang Asli than did the Malays.
• A number of Chinese men married into Orang Asli communities, learnt
their languages, and lived with the tribes
The Japanese Occupation
Many individuals and organisations took refuge in the hills
and forests.
• Friendly contacts made by many Chinese with the Orang
Asli before the war became invaluable during the
Occupation
Members of the MPAJA carefully nurtured friendships with
the Orang Asli and they even went as far as to protect the
jungle peoples from the attacks of bandits and Japanese
troops.
• In return the Orang Asli aided the Communist forces by
providing porters, guides, food and intelligence on Japanese
movements if the latter should venture into deep jungle.
The Emergency Period
These crucial twelve years saw the challenge and defeat of the Communist
forces which had rearmed and reorganised following their temporary
demobilisation after the capitulation of Japan.
The government's interest in the Orang Asli was seen as a
critical matter of national security.
The success of resettling the Chinese led the authorities to
believe that much the same tactics could be used with the
Orang Asli in order to deny their support to the Communists
Post Emergency Period
Jabatan Hal Ehwal Orang Asli was formed
1957: Federation of Malaya gained independence
• 1960: Emergency was declared over by the YDP Agong
• In a speech in parliament in 1961, the YDP Agong stated:
