Salmiah binti Anai

Temuan

Kampung Orang Asli Sungai Raya Batu Lima, Negeri Sembilan

One of Malaysia's dedicated Orang Asli rights advocates with over a decade on the frontlines of systemic change. A former core organiser of JOAS, her name is listed among 22 individuals in a landmark legal reform submission by the Malaysian Bar Council and KOMAS. Holding an unwavering conviction that Orang Asli identity cannot be erased, she works to strengthen Indigenous representation in Malaysia's national discourse.

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.
