#KerajaanGagal52 \u2013 I  fully support MP for Cameron Highlands that the JAKOA Director-General must be an Orang Asli<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

I give full support to the Cameron Highlands Member of Parliament Ramli bin Mohd Nor that the Director-General of the Orang Asli Development Department (JAKOA) must be an Orang Asli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ramli claimed that officers in the Rural Development Ministry are trying to put a non-Orang Asli in charge of the Orang Asli Development Department (JAKOA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

This is going backwards and clearly a retrograde step.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

In fact, JAKOA should be abolished and replaced by a body, headed by an Orang Ali, to spearhead Orang Asli upliftment to be in the mainstream of Malaysian development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JAKOA has become the symbol of the failure of the UMNO\/BN government to uplift the Orang Asli communities to be in the mainstream of development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To date, there are too few Orang Asli holding senior positions in JAKOA and indeed in the entire civil service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a 2018  parliamentary reply, out of a total 998 staffs in JAKOA, only 111 are Orang Aslis. Only One is in the \u201cManagement and Professional\u201d rank, the rest are all supporting\/lower rank staffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

This is most disgraceful and shows the utter failure of JAKOA to represent a vibrant Orang Asli community. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

After six decades of the country\u2019s nationhood, at least three quarters of the JAKOA staff should be Orang Aslis, and not just a puny 11% as at present, and an Orang Asli must head JAKOA and not just one in the management and professional rank of JAKOA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

In the entire civil service, there are 1,352 Orang Asli, but only 172 of them are in the Management\/Professional rank (mostly in the teaching service). Only one is in the Top Management position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We talked for six decades about the upliftment and development of the Orang Asli with very little to show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After six decades, we don\u2019t even have a Orang Asli as a Minister or Deputy Minister. This is most disgraceful, and the latest suggestion that a non-Orang Asli should be appointed as JAKOA Director-General should not be entertained and dismissed out of hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
