Our Ally

Monash University Malaysia

Education

Since 2019, Monash University Malaysia (MUM) has been working with Native to engage the Orang Asli through learning experiences and community projects. MUM formalised its commitment to being a good indigenous ally through an MoU with the Native Allies Society of Malaysia, strengthening its dedication to ethical research, impactful community engagement, and mutual learning with the Orang Asli.

the Allyship Pledge

We recognise that a sustainable, thriving future is inherently relational and reciprocal. As signatories, we accept our shared agency and responsibility in shaping such futures. 

We will, therefore, take action and begin from where we are. In Malaysia, this starts with principled, intentional, and meaningful allyship with the Orang Asli.

We therefore commit to stand with the Orang Asli as allies: to listen with humility, show up in solidarity, and walk alongside them in their pursuit of justice, equity, and self-determination – whether as those who call Malaysia home, or as guests upon this land.
