The Malaysian Orang Asli Party (Malay: Parti Orang Asli Malaysia, abbreviated ASLI) is an indigenous rights party representing Orang Asli aborigine tribes in Malaysia. The party was registered in December 2022 and led by its founder Rashid Ka'
History
ASLI was founded on 2023 by 500 members of aboriginal leaders representing all 19 Orang Asli tribes in Malaysia. Its intention was to unite Orang Asli political representation previously split among major Malaysian parties and non-governmental organisations. The party however denied opposing the ruling Unity Government.[2]
The party welcomes but have criticized government intention to revise Orang Asli act. It claimed lack of proper Orang Asli representation on participatory deliberation within existing government structures such as Orang Asli Development Department (JAKOA) and demanded that Orang Asli Native Land should be recognised in the act.[3]
It planned to contest the 2024 Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election against all parties before retracting their intention, citing technical problems.[4] By 2024 the party claimed to have 11,000 members and have organised multiple state branches nationwide, and targets contesting 11 parliamentary seats in next Malaysian general election.[5]
The party made its first electoral appearance at 2026 Johor state election,[6] and decided to campaign with Blok Progresif initiated by PSM and MUDA for Negeri Sembilan election the same year.[7]
