The Jahai from RPS Air Banun are amongst the indigenous ethnics found in Peninsular Malaysia who still grapple below
the stated level of poverty. Various efforts have been initiated with intentions of extracting them from their traditional
ways of life in order to live on par amongst the multicultural – multiracial Malaysian population. Even so, fast paced
development and urbanization has caused them to be left far behind when compared with their non-indigenous Malaysian
counterparts. Despite extensive planning and implementation, development programmes have shown little success in
changing their socio-economic status for the better and they have only been further marginalized and threatened by
these initiatives. The deterioration in socio-economic status of the Jahai from RPS Air Banun is found to be closely
related to the history of this nation’s development especially after achieving independence. Rapid urbanization and
economic growth during the post-communist period had vastly changed the country’s physical landscape, thus changing
the lives of the indigenous minority whose livelihood was still greatly dependant on natural resources. By employing
the historical perspective, this paper examines the socio-economic status of the Jahai in RPS Air Banun who still live
below the poverty level even after three decades of involvement in the Orang Asli Resettlement Programme. |
