Abstract
The Indigenous community is the hidden gem of Malaysia due to their unique cultural heritage practices. Considering the urbanization and modernization, as promising that will uplift their quality of life, it is important to better understand the issues and challenges faced by the Indigenous community in Gombak in the aspects of economy and heritage which become the objectives of this research. One–on–one interview was conducted with one tourism operator which is a significant entity deeply enmeshed in community engagement initiatives within the Indigenous community in Gombak to gather a significant insight into the issues and challenges that faced by an indigenous community in Gombak. The main findings are they still suffered poverty and backwardness, lack of participation in education among the Indigenous children, irregular employment and uninherited and diminishing heritage. Based on the findings, all the stakeholders, especially the government, should be aware of the difficulties experienced by the Indigenous community in Gombak. This research will be beneficial to stakeholders that have direct or indirect relationships with the topics discussed, namely the tourism operators, the public sector as well as the local government.
