The Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs Department (JAKOA) has refuted allegations that Indigenous land has been seized. JAKOA stated the claims are inaccurate and that, to date, no gazetted Indigenous land has been confiscated by any party. The agency’s response addresses concerns raised regarding the potential loss of ancestral territories. This denial comes amid heightened scrutiny of land rights issues affecting Malaysia’s Orang Asli communities. JAKOA did not provide details on investigations into un-gazetted land claims, focusing solely on officially recognized territories. The statement aims to reassure Indigenous communities and the public regarding the protection of their land rights. Further clarification on the agency’s broader land management policies is expected.
