Where the dead cannot lie in peace

Indigenous peoples all over the world have their way of life threatened by rapid development.

The Orang Asli laut of Johor's southern coastline are particularly under threat because the state is pushing for direct foreign investments to spur its economic growth. Property development is an important ingredient of the economic cocktail.

But economic development doesn't come without costs, and the Orang Asli laut and their livelihood are paying a heavy price for development they do not want.
