Indigenous People's Network of Malaysia's (Jaringan Orang Asli SeMalaysia) Vice President Yusri Ahon said that the Orang Asli community believes that any donation meant for a political party must not be deposited into an individual's personal account.
Yusri lamented that the outdated policies concerning the Orang Asli no longer fulfil the needs of the Orang Asli community.
He also took the opportunity to remind the ruling government that the Orang Asli are more than prepared to switch sides and cast their votes for the opposition parties in the upcoming elections, naming PKR and DAP as the popular choice among the aboriginal community.
