Malaysia is a federal country with an asymmetric decentralization where indigenous peoples enjoy different levels of political autonomy recognized in the federal Constitution. The paradox is that while Sabah and Sarawak are two of the territories with the highest
level of recognition of indigenous rights in all of Southeast Asia, the states of peninsular

peoples in the whole region. However, the exercise of political autonomy does not always
correspond to the rights recognized by law. The configuration of recognized rights together
with the relationship established with the more or less democratic state governments explains

raised by indigenous organizations. There are some positive experiences that have emerged

indigenous autonomy persist, especially in some territories |
