The Orang Asal (OA), meaning "Original People" in Malay, are the indigenous peoples of Malaysia. In Peninsular Malaysia, they are referred to as the Orang Asli.
These communities have many distinctive groups and tribes, each with its own language, religions, and customs. Their total population is approximately 2.1 million, with about half living in or near forests, engaged in hill rice cultivation, traditional hunting, and gathering. Others reside along the coast, relying on fishing or agriculture, while a small number maintain a semi-nomadic lifestyle.
Many still rely on candles as a source of light, exposing them to greater likelihoods of fire-related incidents.
Solar lights can enhance safety by reducing the risks associated with open flames from candles or kerosene lamps, which can cause fires or air pollution. It has the potential to greatly improve the quality of life, fostering a healthier and more secure environment for these communities.
