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

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.
