Dennis Along, Resident of Long Terawan Long House, Mulu
*Residents Protest Sec 6 Land Measurement Amidst Allegations of Bribery and Misappropriation*
Dennis Along and friends will make a report to MACC Miri at 10 am on 25 January 2024, it is about the case of abuse of power and misappropriation of money by some tribal leaders and counselors in the Mulu area.
In 2009 PUSAKA KTS donated RM2 million in cash to the villagers of Long Terawan and Long Melinau Mulu, However, there is no financial statement of the use of the money. This RM2 million money was given by PUSAKA KTS because of the taking of NCR land from the residents.
In 2019, the Radian Legon company opened a palm oil plantation in the NCR land area of the residents of Long Terawan and Long Melinau and announced cash assistance of RM 400k for the residents of Long Terawan, RM400K for the residents of Long Melinau and RM200k for the water pipe project for the residents of Long Terawan. Again, there is no financial statement related to the money.
This time, the land measurement of the residents of Long Terawan and Melinau also witnessed the same method. Dennis Along believe that community leaders and councilors were also bribed until they agreed to the sec 6 measure.
Before the dialogue and before the residents agreed to the sec 6 measure, the land and survey department along with the staff of private companies have been in their land area. They are strongly protesting and they don't want their land to be measured under sec 6.
What can he summarize, he said, more and more power is given to GPS, the more greedy they rob the people's land. Dennis is asking people to come and support him on this Friday.
