Marina Ibrahim appointed special officer for Johor's indigenous community

Marina Ibrahim has been designated as a special officer to serve as a representative to Sultan Ibrahim, the Sultan of Johor, in matters concerning the Orang Asli community in the state. Johor Menteri Besar Onn Hafiz Ghazi made the announcement, signalling the state government's renewed focus on indigenous affairs and community welfare. The appointment aims to strengthen the line of communication between the Orang Asli population and the state's highest authority, ensuring their concerns and requirements are adequately addressed at the highest levels of government. Ibrahim's role is expected to facilitate better coordination of services and development programmes for the indigenous community across Johor. The state government has increasingly emphasised the importance of direct engagement with marginalised communities, particularly the Orang Asli, as part of its broader social development agenda.
