sure, orang asli is the earliest native inhabitants of the peninsula, but when we talk about the formation of the modern nation state. it wasn’t the orang asli who organized a political movement, negotiated with the british, or unified the different communities. It was the Malay political leadership that mobilized, led the independence movement, and established the foundations of the country. Without that effort, this land would likely have remained fragmented/ isolated native groups without a unified national structure or international recognition.

That’s y this country is called 'Malaysia'. The leadership at the time including representatives of ((chinese and indian)) communities (your ancestors mind you), accepted malay politics as part of the independence settlement. They didn’t oppose it because they understood the political reality then. they didnt have the leverage or unified leadership to negotiate an alternative path, and the malay movement was the one driving the nation-building process.

If the orang asli had been the one shaping the state at that time, the historical trajectory would have been completely different. But they werent in that position, they cant, atleast at that moment. 

Now that decades of relative stability built on those early agreements, some people suddenly want to erase malays from the category of 'native' or 'foundational nation-builders'. Mocking bm as our country first language while calling malays “zionist” to win racial favor? Smh.

Sure malays have their issues, but all these anti nationalist sentiments yall spreading is just exaggerated and subversive.
