by way of sourcing and distributing relevant human rights pamphlets and materials. Another key achievement of the ATHAM came about in 2013 when the MOE agreed to set up the Ministry’s Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) Committee as an offshoot to the ATHAM. SUHAKAM is a permanent member to the Committee that is chaired by the MOE’s Director General. Through this Committee, the MOE had agreed to an additional 151 schools, inclusive of 30 additional Orang Asli schools, to be included for the ATHAM Project. The Committee conducts workshops and meets twice annually to, among others, review students’ activities in order to perpetuate human rights practices and culture, including those that relate to the Orang Asli. (b) National Inquiry into the Land Right of Indigenous Peoples 116 Since its establishment, SUHAKAM received numerous complaints and memoranda from the IP who alleged that their native customary right to land have been violated by various actors including the Government and private land concessionaires. In particular, they claimed of encroachment and/or dispossession of native land to plantation and/or commercial land development, gazetting of native land into forest or park reserves, overlapping community claims over native land, and delay in the part of the Government in processing the IPs’ application for land titles over their native territories. Literature review on the issue also revealed that the deprivation of native customary right to land had also led to the IP’s further marginalisation. Realising that the overwhelming and systemic native land issues in Malaysia cannot be effectively dealt with by way of piecemeal approaches, in 2011, SUHAKAM decided to conduct its maiden national inquiry (NI) to address the land right of the IP in Malaysia. 116 SUHAKAM (n 9) 37
