I REFER to the report “’Orang Asli not part of income survey’” (The Star, Sept 2). This suggests that the Orang Asli are being treated as outliers and an inconvenient factor in the agenda of groups with specific goals and figures in mind.

It leads inevitably to the question: “What other population segments have been considered as outliers and left out of the national representation of income levels and state of poverty in the country?”
