Mariani binti Ramli

Jakun

Kampung Orang Rps Bukit Serok, Pahang

Mariani is an entrepreneur who runs her own tailoring shop and sells crafts both online and offline. Formerly a village secretary, she has independently advocated for her kampung on issues like land rights and flooding. With lived experience and resilience, she is committed to strengthening her community’s economic opportunities while aspiring to help more Orang Asli succeed, be courageous in shaping their futures, and stand on equal footing with others.

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.
