TRANSPORTATION






My blog dated 19 March, 2015 refers.

Perak Menteri Besar has responded to the written complaint by instructing Jabatan Kemajuan Orang Asli  (JAKOA) Daerah Kuala Kangsar to look into the matter (JAKOA letter to POASM Sg. Siput dated 1 April, 2015 refers). 


The Persatuan Orang Asli Semenanjung Malaysia (POASM) Sungai Siput Chairman, Mat Seri Pandak told me that he has informed and requested this from JAKOA but it was ignored by the officer-in-charge. With the written complaint to Perak Menteri Besar, he has to respond on the instruction.

POASM has replied on 23 April, 2015 by providing details of each pupils from Kg. Asap (4 Km to school), Kg. Landap (5 Km to school), Kg. Awal (8 Km to school), Kg. Larik (10Km to school) and Kg. Lawai (14 Km to school). Total pupil involve 28.

Hopefully JAKOA can provide or fund the transportation of these pupils to school.

Nordin attended for the OA. The dialogue attracted a number of youngster in Landap Zone consists of 5 'OA kampungs' with estimated population about 2,000 people. This is a continuation from the previous dialogue.



KOA Lawai is the the highest 'OA kampung' in Jalong Tinggi [about 1,800m from sea level]. It is a cooling place with green scenery although the surrounding is a secondary forest. According to the elderly villagers, now day the wild life is not seen as frequent as 15 years ago. 

In the course of the dialogue, the KOA Lawai women shown their hand make products to the VIPs. They need more sewing and embroidery machines. This is part of the women activity in up-lifting their living standard. A verbal request was make to Dato' Tan for assistance. The villagers also need assistance to promote their products. Currently, JAKOA has placed few orders for their products.




2 OA from the SOLS 24/7 came along to the dialogue on my invitation. They are Ms. Norita -  a Semai ethnic from Tapah and A Boi - a Temiar ethnic from Grik. A Boi just returned from Timor Leste as a volunteer to teach English. I brought them along to boost and motivate the young 'OA'. If Norita and A Boi can do it, the local can do it too!


Many issues directly affected their daily life was brought up during the dialogue. The VIPs agreed to bring their plights to the respective agencies. While the dialogue in progress, there was storm and heavy rain which causes trees falls along the road. This delay us for more than 1 hour to cleared up the trees and debris.



I told the VIPs' and delegation that it is not easy to visit the 'OA'. There many challenges that I have to face as they did not visit these places as often as I did.
