| Summary: | Land acquisition is a statutory answer to the problem
of land assembly, a mechanism that empowers the
authorities to compulsorily acquire land from private
owners when such land is needed to implement public
projects. This book highlights the challenges confronting the Orang Asli
in their struggle to secure recognition for their natural rights over native
lands and thus for their rights to a more equitable compensation following
any compulsory acquisition of those lands. It seeks to present a case for
the establishment of a proper and guided compensation framework. Since
no empirical study has been conducted to examine issues affecting the
acquisition and compensation of Orang Asli native lands before, this book is
the first to offer such data. Its contribution is particularly significant to the
government agencies interesting their search for uniformity of approach to
the assessment of compensation for Orang Asli native lands. Additionally,
decision-makers will find in the book a useful source of reference for
organising the process and negotiation for compensation in ways that avoid
conflicts and create a win-win situation for both the Orang Asli and acquiring
body. Finally, this book also serves to inform the academics and practitioners
seeking to broaden their perspectives on issues affecting land acquisition of
Orang Asli native lands. |
