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

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.
