ANIFAH AMAN MADE IT FOUR, NOT THREE

Dear Editor,

         

ANIFAH Aman being a Dusun is also an Orang Asal. (He's Pathan on his father's side. His father was from southern Afghanistan and came to Sabah with the British Indian Army.)

So, plus Anifah there are four Orang Asal from Sabah in the Federal Cabinet, not three. Shafie is a Suluk. Dahlan is a Bajau.

Both Suluk and Bajau are from the Philippines where there are even more of them than in Sabah.

The Orang Asal Sabah can only be found in Sabah and the headwaters region where Sabah, Brunei, Sarawak and Kalimantan meet in Borneo.

Best Regards,

JOE FERNANDEZ
