*Armed Enforcement in NCR Lands: Tensions Rise in Bintulu as Villagers Resist Land Measurement*
Today an enforcement team armed with M16s entered the NCR area of Rumah Panjang Nura Buling and Rumah Panjang David in Bintulu. They introduced themselves as security enforcers accompanying the land and surveying department, to measure the land of villagers involved in the construction project of the electricity transmission line from Bakun to Samalaju Bintulu. But the residents protested and did not want their land to be measured before any written explanation and dialogue. Residents do not believe that the measure is for a project to build an electricity transmission tower. They believe that the land and survey department wants to confiscate their land to allow the Sebekai Plantation company to increase the area of oil palm plantation next to their longhouse.
Rebeca explained that the people in the area have been working on their NCR land with oil palm cultivation for a long time and have produced satisfactory results. The question is why the government wants to take the land away from them and give it to a richer plantation company. We do not fight with violence. We just want dialogue, said Rebeca Bana.
According to residents, this is not the first time such an incident has occurred. It has happened several times in the past. But can be stopped by longhouse residents. According to Mrs. Rebeca again. Today, along with the armed enforcement. Someone introduced himself as "Dato" from the Sarawak Premier's office - Abang Johari.
