This study analyzes the implementation and effectiveness of health and welfare policies in Malaysia. We used quantitative research methods to reach out to indigenous communities and ask them for their views and suggestions on welfare policies in Malaysia. Data was collected in the form of questionnaires. The results of the questionnaire show that the indigenous people of Malaysia value health, but this does not mean that they understand the importance of health. There is therefore a need to increase public health and hygiene education programmes. Although the Government has made great efforts to improve the health of indigenous peoples, considerable gaps remain in the practical implementation and cultural coherence of these policies. Use community health talks and online resources to raise awareness of the functions of nutrition. Governments should consider increasing investment in education, transport and economic support to ensure basic welfare for all. Strengthen welfare services in rural primary schools, including food, transport, education and health services, to raise awareness and understanding of health and hygiene among the indigenous peoples of Malaysia and help them improve their lives. The study highlights the need for more inclusive and culturally tailored health programmes and policies to meet the unique needs of indigenous peoples.
