Dr. Teh Su Thye is a medical doctor turned social entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience working alongside marginalized communities across Malaysia. As Field Representative for Global Peace Foundation Malaysia, he has led community transformation programs with the Orang Asli indigenous communities — bringing clean water, solar electrification, and values-based education to over 2,500 families.

His work centers on nature-based solutions that restore both land and livelihoods. Through Syntropic Agroforestry — a regenerative approach that rebuilds soil health, biodiversity, and food systems — Orang Asli communities are building economic sovereignty and genuine self-sufficiency. These initiatives are designed around Orang Asli self-determination: communities as stewards, producers, and decision-makers in their own development.
