Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections occurs via fecal-oral route. WHO has reported there are up to 90% of children from poor communities with inadequate hygiene and sanitation prone to at least one STH infection. In Malaysia, the indigenous community (Orang Asli) is the predominant communities prone to STH infections. Hence, this study was aimed to determine the prevalence of STHs infections among Orang Asli in Kampong Donglai Baru, Semenyih, Selangor. Questionnaires surveys were conducted to gather information on the risk factor associated with the Orang Asli community following with stool samples were collected from the villagers. Basic parasitology method, floatation technique was carried out to determine the type and burden of STHs. Total sample obtained from salt-sugar floatation method were sixty seven (n=67), with 64 (95.5%) were positive for STH infection. The prevalence of Trichuris trichiura was 85.9% (n=55) while Ascaris lumbricoides was 93.8% (n=60). Results shown majority of the villagers have double infection (79.7%, n=51). Several risk factors were found significantly associated (p<0.05) with T. trichiura infection such as age factors, education level and frequency of hand washing. However, those risk factors were no significant associated with A. lumbricoides  infection. The study showed a higher prevalence rate of STH infection predominantly by Trichuris trichiura and Ascaris lumbricoides within a small group of the Orang Asli community, hence further prevention method like administration of anthihelminthic drug is recommended.

Majority of the indigenous people who are the original inhabitants in Malaysia inhibit the remote area of tropical forest which is rich in natural resources. Their lives are separated from the outside community due to several factors such as geography, low literacy, negative perceptions of the surrounding community, and the closed-door attitude of the indigenous people. Consistent preaching activities have changed the faith of the indigenous people from animism orientation towards believing in the Oneness of God. The practice of Islam as a way of life in the lives of indigenous peoples is found to be difficult to practice because the fiqh approach presented to them does not celebrate their local condition. In this regard, this study will examine the socio-cultural isolation of indigenous peoples and their impact on the interpretation of Islamic law. To achieve this objective, the researchers have applied the library research method by referring to the literatures related to the discussion of Islamic scholars in various disciplines of fiqh and usūl al-fiqh. The research found that there is rukhsah and taysir approach given to isolated people as well as with local background to facilitate the religious affairs of the indigenous people. Abstrak Majoriti masyarakat Orang Asli yang merupakan penduduk asal di semenanjung Malaysia mendiami kawasan pedalaman di hutan hujan tropika yang kaya dengan khazanah alam. Kehidupan mereka terasing daripada masyarakat luar disebabkan beberapa faktor seperti geografi, kadar literasi yang rendah, pandangan negatif masyarakat sekitar dan sikap tertutup masyarakat Orang Asli. Gerakan dakwah yang dijalankan secara konsisten telah membawa perubahan kepercayaan sebahagian masyarakat Orang Asli daripada berorientasikan animisme kepada mempercayai Tuhan yang Esa. Pengamalan Islam sebagai cara hidup dalam kehidupan masyarakat Orang Asli didapati agak sukar untuk dipraktikkan lantaran pendekatan fiqh yang disampaikan kepada mereka tidak meraikan suasana setempat mereka. Sehubungan itu, kajian ini akan meneliti keadaan isolasi sosio-budaya masyarakat Orang Asli dan kesannya terhadap pentafsiran hukum Islam. Bagi mencapai objektif tersebut, pengkaji menggunakan kajian kepustakaan sepenuhnya dengan menelusuri literatur berkaitan dengan perbincangan sarjana Islam dalam pelbagai disiplin ilmu fiqh dan usul fiqh. Hasil kajian mendapati terdapat rukhsah dan pendekatan taysir diberikan kepada mereka yang hidup terasing serta berlatar belakang budaya setempat bagi memudahkan urusan keagamaan masyarakat Orang Asli.
