Our Allies

Allyship is the conscious choice to stand alongside the Orang Asli in pursuit of a better Malaysia. It is an ongoing, intentional commitment that each of us can embrace in our own capacities. Whether through time, skills, resources, or by shifting mindsets to uphold the principles of allyship, Native Allies are committed to walking together toward a future where the Orang Asli can thrive on their own terms – and in doing so, create a stronger nation for all Malaysians.

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.
