Sahabat Alam Malaysia’s call for the country Malaysia to formulate a coherent National Policy on Indigenous People’s Rights, which is in line with the United Nations Declaration on Indigenous Peoples Rights (UNDRIP) that Malaysia has ratified. Rights of indigenous communities must be fully respected, the full nature and extent of Natives Customary Rights must be recognized in its entirety. States must establish and implement an open and transparent process in land matters giving due recognition to indigenous peoples laws, traditions, customs and land tenure systems. States must established and implement a systematic and participatory boundary demarcation process for traditional territories where native customary rights are claimed communally. States must institute legal reforms in all the relevant statutory processes to ensure that statutes are consistent with Constitutional provisions, judicial decisions and the principles of natural justice.

The issues plaguing indigenous peoples today are issues about human security-the right to livelihood, property, whether communal or individual, right to safe and clean environment, essentially, the right to life. These are inherent rights of every human being. They are often enshrined in constitutions, statutes and judicial pronouncements, more often than not, the enjoyment of these rights are denied to a large section of society= the poor, the marginalized and the disinherited, in particular, the indigenous people. Proposed implementation of National Policy on indigenous Peoples Rights. It should be done  in Public consultation and in line with the United Nations Declaration on Indigenous Peoples Rights which Malaysia adopted in 13.09.2007. What do you think?

Paranoid Politicians

I am not at all surprised when Nyarok Enterie won the VP post in recent SPDP TGM with full backing of Tiong King Sing. After all, the contender, who is my friend Philip Ngo is just testing the water.

Typical of paranoid politicians and Jabu Numpang is the father of all paranoids! Read more…
