*Gerawat's Legal Threats vs. Dennis's Villager Allegations on NCR Lands*
A few days ago, Dennis and his community villagers made a police report and complained to the Marudi District office that a group of people from the land and survey department (JTS) had come to the village of Long Terawan to measure the residents' land with sec 6. Dennis and the villagers did not agree on the land they are measured in sec 6 because their NCR land will be changed ownership to government land.
Today Mulu assemblyman, Gerawat Gala responded and criticized what Dennis and his community villagers did. According to Gerawat, the sec 6 land survey was conducted throughout Sarawak at the request of the residents, as well as in Long Terawan. Gerawat said, according to the definition of the Sarawak NCR Land Code, all lands explored before 1957 are NCR. Explored after 1957 without a letter of permission from the District Office - is Sarawak government land. The land measured by sec 6 will not be taken as state land. The proof is according to Gerawat, the land of the residents of Long Panai was measured with sec 18, after being measured with sec 6. The argument that the measure of sec 6 is an attempt by the government to seize the people's land is false. Gerawat also claimed that the majority of Long Terawan residents agreed with the measure of sec6 and finally Gerawat objected. Anyone who prevents government officials from carrying out their duties can be reported to the police and prosecuted.
Dennis questions the understanding of lawyers like Gerawat towards NCR, How can Gerawat and GPS deny the rights of Sarawakians to the land inherited by their families for generations, with only numbers and dates before and after 1957. Why Gerawat and GPS do not provide adequate provisions to measure the land of the people using sec 18 and give individual land title deed.
In 2022, Sarawak state income are RM11.9 billion and in 2023 it will increase to RM13.1 billion, why is there no NCR land measurement allocation and additional JTS staff? Gerawat complained that he will make a police report and will prosecute anyone who obstructs the land measurement of sec 6. According to Dennis, they found that the majority of the villagers did not agree and they found that there were employees of a private company (Geometric)in their land area. This means they are intruders.
Dennis challenged Gerawat to debate on the Land issue - because Gerawat's understanding is far different from the wishes of the majority of the people. Gerawat is campaigning with a manifesto- Effective solution to NCR problem in 2021. Dennis is ready to face Gerawat for the next state election, If given the chance.
