Shaq Koyok’s call follows a statistics department report that children of indigenous people have the highest death rate.
Activist Shaq Koyok attributes the high death rate among Orang Asli children to lack of access to healthcare and proper utilities like clean water and stable electricity.
“The indigenous community is a small population. It is concerning that the youngest of us has the highest death rate,” he said. He added that water sources polluted by deforestation near many settlements made it hard for mothers and caretakers to provide clean drinking water to ailing children. “There are corporate social responsibility projects, but they don’t meet all our needs and are not going to help in the long run,” he said.
