This paper studies the quality of life of Orang Asli (aborigines) who were resettled at Program Bersepadu Daerah Terpencil (PROSDET), Pantos in Kuala Medang, Pahang, Malaysia. The research aims to examine the living conditions of the affected Orang Asli at the resettlement project and to determine possible ways for improving their livelihood and quality of life. The findings from 183 household surveys and physical observations and interviews have disclosed dissatisfactions among Orang Asli for reasons which related to the changes in their traditional livelihood, lifestyle and culture. The paper provides recommendations for ensuring better quality of life in the future resettlement programs for Orang Asli.
