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?
