Dams and indigenous peoples in malaysia: Development, displacement and resettlement
Large dams have proliferated in Malaysia in recent decades. Constructed mainly to meet mounting domestic demand for water and energy, they have destroyed large tracts of species‐rich tropical rain forest and displaced many already poor and marginalized indigenous groups from their homes and ancestral lands without their consent. Evicted indigenes were promised a better life in resettlement villages, but for the most part this has not occurred. In…
In the Way of Development: Indigenous Land-Rights Issues in Malaysia
The Malaysian government regards the country's indigenous peoples as "backward" and in need of "modernization." It aims to assimilate them into the so‐called mainstream society and to incorporate their lands and resources into national and global markets. These policy objectives leave little scope for indigenous groups to pursue their own life projects. Indigenous communities want to share in the benefits of economic development, but they are not…
Seeking Redress in the Courts: Indigenous Land Rights and Judicial Decisions in Malaysia
Malaysia's indigenous peoples continue to suffer numerous grievous injustices, including appropriation of their ancestral lands and socio-economic deprivation. In large part because their voices of resistance to development policies have gone unheard by the authorities, a growing number of individuals and communities have taken their grievances to the nation's courts. In particular, they have pleaded for judicial intervention to address alleged b…

Malaysia's Emerging Conurbation∗
By 1990 a conurbation will have emerged in the Klang Valley of Peninsular Malaysia with a probable population of more than two million people. Rapid urban growth has already generated physical and social problems. Soil erosion and flooding have increased, and health problems have been created. The persistence of slums and squatter settlements detracts from the quality of urban life. Key Words: ErosionFloodingHealthHousingKlang ValleyMalaysiaUrban…
