Center for Orang Asli Concerns (COAC)
COAC, Subang Jaya, Malaysia.
Self-description: "This site is committed to information and commentary on the Orang Asli, the indigenous minority peoples of Peninsular Malaysia. We are still fine-tuning the site and uploading base content. As such, we welcome suggestions to improve the portal. [...] The Center for Orang Asli Concerns was established in 1989 to advance the cause of the Orang Asli -- whether via the greater dissemination of Orang Asli news and views, assisting in court cases involving Orang Asli rights, or in developing arguments for lobbying and advocacy work. That is to say COAC functions primarily as a center to facilitate Orang Asli initiatives at self-development and in defense of their rights, and to support those who want to promote such initiatives."
