Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has created a global crisis that has impacted all aspects of humanity. As of August 16, 2021, Malaysia has seen significant increases in active cases. However, the condition of indigenous peoples remains a question mark and it is unknown what steps have been taken to address this group. Do they understand the prevalence of the COVID-19 outbreak and what strategies are being taken to prevent this outbreak among the Indigenous people? Although there is crisis or disaster management related stakeholders, yet the Crisis Communication Relief Management and Preparedness is vital especially for the Indigenous people because they are important group of mainstream society. Indigenous peoples are among the most vulnerable and at risk of COVID 19 pandemic. The discussion is augmented by Foucault's notion of power and governmentality, aspects related to decision-making about Crisis Communication Relief Management and Preparedness. The analysis of Foucault’s Power, knowledge and governmentality gives a clear understanding on how the government in regulating and shaping the Crisis Communication Relief Management and Preparedness to the specific groups such as the Indigenous people.

Summary
The spread of infectious diseases can pose significant threats and control over unforeseen events. Crisis Communication Relief Management and Preparedness during the pre- and post-infectious outbreaks for indigenous peoples in Malaysia are crucial to encounter the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak. Malaysia has a technique that can be used as a location that can provide data and help pre, during and after the tragedy, Malaysia needs to improve the pre- and postCOVID-19 communication framework to avoid the negative effects of the COVID-19 outbreak management disaster Compared to countries such as Australia, many have been featured in local media for information and advice on the control of Coronavirus (COVID-19) for Aboriginal People and Torres Straits Islander communities (Department of Health Australia, 2020). The analysis of Foucault’s Power, knowledge and governmentality gives a clear understanding on how the government in regulating and shaping the Crisis Communication Relief Management and Preparedness to the specific groups such as the Indigenous people. It is hoped that the Crisis Communication Relief Management (Preparedness) Crisis Communication Model will become an SOP for the indigenous community to prepare for the future spread of infectious diseases
