Kampung Orang Asli Batu Berangkai, Kampar, Perak

As an Executive for Social Engagement at Yayasan Gamuda, Aggyleean leads a unique project to document stories and folklore across Malaysia’s 19 Orang Asli ethnic groups. Deeply involved in village-level issues and mapping initiatives, he also contributes to his kampung committee. Passionate about storytelling, preserving indigenous knowledge and traditional music, he sees culture as a vital force in shaping community futures.

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.
