KOTA KINABALU : Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) Deputy President, Datuk Eric Majimbun said the statement by the Director of Land and Survey that there were no more NCR lands after 1930 is tantamount to ignore the rights of our Sabah natives, 'son of the soil rights' and an attempt to deprive the natives of their rights.
"Does he also meant that cases in which the Court of Law has ruled in favour of NCR claims by natives on their land are null and void?" Majimbun questioned.
Eric Majimbun, who is also Member of Parliament for Sepanggar said such statement should come from the BN state government instead of the director of Land and Survey who is only a civil servant.
"The whole purpose why the British Company enforced laws on Native Customary Rights (NCR) is to protect and help our natives who are underprivileged in various aspects.
"It is sad to see that land grabs are happening almost everyday in the state while claims on NCR and years of application by natives were ignored but instead granted to big companies in the name of development by the government.
"Cases such as these have happened in Serudung, Merotai in Tawau, Sukau in Sandakan, Kg Mapat Kanibongan in Pitas, Tandek and Nabawan, the government is suppressing and ignoring our natives' rights," Majimbun stressed.
the world would be much better without money....sigh!
ReplyDeleteSekarang ini kita sering mendengar pelbagai isu mengenai rampasan tanah adat ini. Kerajaan sememangnya telah pun cuba memberikan pelbagai penyelesaian untuk perkara ini tapi mendapat tentangan. Apa pun selesaikan masalah ini sebaiknya.
ReplyDeleteThe State Government has accepted the fact that the people have the right to claim lands which they have occupied for generations as their own.
ReplyDeletestate government are ready and willing to turn these lands, which have been gazetted as forest reserves, into state lands to enable the people to claim them
Deletethe opposition is taking advantage of the situation on NCR issue in Sabah.
ReplyDeletethe people is not to misuse these advantages. Do not purposely encroach on forest reserves in the hope that the government would turn the areas into state lands. Only lands inherited from their ancestors would be considered.
ReplyDeletehopefully the people’s representatives and community leaders in their areas will monitor the situation of NCR land and ensure that they are genuine villagers in the area
ReplyDeleteiasu tanah yang dah lama membelenggu penduduk haruslah diselesaikan segera.
