News of land grabbing involving Orang Asli customary land is making headlines once again, with few actual solutions by the authorities. We look at Orang Asli land rights and why they matter by first breaking down the troubled history of the issue. Then, we hear from two community activists on the challenges they face when standing up for their rights.
