Kampung Orang Asli Bal Rps Kemar, Gerik, Perak

With 15 years of experience as an announcer at the Orang Asli radio station under Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM), Kamel has long been a storyteller and cultural voice for his people. Today, he leads multiple community initiatives, from a cooperative and tilapia farms to eco-tourism projects. He also serves as Chair of the Orang Asli Association in Hulu Perak and the local Community Health Clinic Panel (Panel Klinik Kesihatan). A musician and advocate for preserving Orang Asli arts, he continues to amplify indigenous culture on national platforms.

the Allyship Pledge

I love Malaysia, and I know she cannot be whole until all who call this land home can thrive freely and fully— including the Orang Asli. 

I recognise the Orang Asli as the first peoples of this land. I pledge to stand with them as allies: to listen, to show up, and to fight alongside them for justice, equity, and self-determination.
