		Orang Asli not only have no share in the extraction of such resources but they also have to bear the burden of environmental destruction of the their lands that come in the wake of these activities.
		Orang Asli calls for security of tenure to their lands can also be effected easily since most of the present settlements are being occupied by Orang Asli and are not disputed by others.

		This particular policy shift which energizes Orang Asli political development is in fact a byproduct of broad Malaysian government policies designed to enhance ethnic pluralism and to foster greater political stabilization among Malaysia's primary ethnic groups--the Malay, Chinese and Indians.
		Orang Asli organizations devoted to politics are known to exist but there is no in-depth knowledge available to readers about these entities or their agendas.
		In this precursory study the Orang Asli are shown to have a flair for politics and to be in possession of an unusual degree of political sophistication, often unsuspected.

	Victory for Orang Asli in Land Rights' Case (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		In this respect, the court ruled that Orang Asli land enjoyed constitutional protection under Article 13(1) relating to property, and therefore, it implies, that the rates of compensation provided under Section 11 and 12 of the Aboriginal Peoples Act, which provides only for loss of crops and dwellings, would be unconstitutional.
		In this case, seven Temuan Orang Asli sued the Federal and State Governments, United Engineers (M) Bhd and the Malaysian Highway Authority for the loss of their land and dwellings when their land in Kampung Bukit Tampoi, Dengkil, Selangor was acquired in 1996 to build the KL-Nilai Highway for KLIA.
		The Orang Asli plaintiffs sought a declaration that they are the owners of the land by custom, the holders of native titles to the land and holders of usufructuary rights (rights to use and derive profits) to the land.

		The book traces the history of the indigenous peoples of Peninsular Malaysia from early times to the present; from when the Orang Asli were an independent and autonomous people, to a situation where others are seeking to control their lives today.
		The Orang Asli and the Contest for Resources argues that development programmes and policies for the Orang Asli, cloaked in a policy of assimilation and integration into the mainstream society, have a single ideological goal: to enable the control of the Orang Asli and to control their traditional territories and resources.
		However, because aspirations and motivations vary between individual Orang Asli, the state is able to exploit such differences and set the Orang Asli against themselves, especially in the contest for resources.
