Report filed over derogatory term used on Orang Asli MP Ramli

Ramli Nor became Malaysia's first Orang Asli MP in 2019 when he was elected to the Cameron Highlands seat. PETALING JAYA : A group representing veterans of the police's Orang Asli unit has lodged a report on the alleged use of a derogatory term against Cameron Highlands MP Ramli Nor on Facebook. The report, filed yesterday by Bah Bi Bah Kerundang, who leads the Senoi Praaq police veterans' association, concerned a Facebook comment which allegedly used the term 'sakai' and belittled Ramli's intelligence. He said the comment was insulting to Ramli, Malaysia's sole Orang Asli MP, as well as the indigenous community, and called for action against the Facebook user. Ramli, who is also a Dewan Rakyat deputy speaker, became Malaysia's first Orang Asli MP when he was elected to the Cameron Highlands seat in a by-election in 2019. He won with a majority of 3,238 votes. He defended the seat for a second term in the 2022 general election, winning with a greater majority of 4,544 votes.
