Abstract: As Malaysia enters the twenty first century, interests and concerns about the subject of entrepreneurship have been highlighted among others. Entrepreneurship is seen as a solution to the ever-growing problem of unemployment and low economic standard among the Orang Asli. The Orang Asli are the indigenous minority people of Peninsular Malaysia. The name is a Malay term which transliterate as 'original people' or 'first people'. It is a collective term introduced by anthropologists and administrators for the 18 sub-ethnic groups. This study investigates the entrepreneurial behavior of the Orang Asli youths in the southern part of Peninsular Malaysia. The entrepreneurial behavior is divided into cognitive and non-cognitive aspects. The data of this survey was collected from 203 Orang Asli youths from nine different sub-ethnic; Kintak (n=1), Bateq (n=18), Orang Kuala (n=39), Orang Seletar (n=8), Jakun (n=21), Semelai (n=2), Temuan (n=110), Temiar (n=1), and Jah Hut (n!
=2). The respondents make up of 3.3 percent of the Orang Asli youths who are living in south of Peninsular Malaysia (N=6092), from three different states Melaka (n=32), Negeri Sembilan (n=89), and Johor (n=83). The findings of this study showed that Orang Asli youths in the south Peninsular Malaysia possess high level of cognitive and non-cognitive entrepreneurial behavior.
