When the Orang Asli have to beg on their own land - JHEOA was an instrument to take away their autonomy

Owning slaves was a Malay tradition, but J.W.W Birch tried to stop it

Hasrat Juliana, 34, seorang penduduk Orang Asli dari Maran, Pahang untuk bertemu Perdana Menteri Anwar Ibrahim di kediaman beliau di Kajang, tidak kesampaian. 

Juliana berjalan kaki hampir 200km bersama anaknya, mengharapkan campur tangan PM untuk memastikan tiada lagi tanah adat Orang Ali dikosongkan.  Rohingya dibela bebas berkeliaran rakyat Orang asli ditindas pemerintah Haprak. 

Sarawakians and Sabahans make sure the orang Malaya do not outnumber you via love jihad for the sake of pussy or dicks. Beware you will lose your own land. Your traditions and your faith. Owning slaves was a Malay tradition, but J.W.W Birch tried to stop it.

Malaysiakini : Time to concede it was the West who stopped bumiputera slavery by Joshua Woo Sze Zeng. The recent controversy over the contributions of non-Malays in the war against the communists in this country has once again raised questions over Malaysians’ general knowledge of our own history.

One disturbing aspect arose from the controversy is how history, or the lack thereof, has been distorted to instil racial antagonism among ethnic groups. Such a malicious tactic is still being used because history is more than a record of the past, it shapes how we see ourselves and others in the present.

Learning about our colonial past in the 1900s is a case in point. My generation was taught that the British were the exploiters of our land and the destroyers of our local traditions. Such indoctrination has led many to believe that the West is the immoral agent of decadence. The West is thus conveniently scapegoated so that the ruling regime can get us to see ourselves as victims, to see the West as a threat, and to see the present rulers as our needed defenders.

That is the recipe for a siege mentality, a proven method to win votes. I am not here defending colonialism or the West, but to point out one piece of our history that has been forgotten, not even footnoted in history textbooks. That is the fact that it was the British who liberated the bumiputeras (Malays and Orang Asli) from slavery, a cruel age-old trade practised by locals for hundreds of years.
