Jeffridin Baudi, the Resident Representative of Sabah Forest Industry Housing Park
*SFI Housing Estate Residents' Dilemma: Seeking Justice and Support*
Through a media release dated November 26, 2023, that the Sabah State Government has emerged victorious in the 13,000-hectare land dispute case. The court ruled that Grant Thorn (GT) was a trespasser, and the state government's acquisition of the land was deemed complete.
Consequently, GT, its agents, and staff are required to vacate the land immediately to facilitate the implementation of forest sustainability, research, and conservation programs by the Sabah state government. Jeffridin emphasized that any disputes between the state government and external parties should not adversely affect the workers of Sabah Forest Industry (SFI). Many SFI employees have dedicated 20 to 30 years to the organization, and some are elderly and fragile.
According to available information, an eviction notice will be issued shortly, and Jeffridin appeals to the Chief Minister of Sabah and other leaders entrusted with the welfare of the people to provide assistance. He urges them to prepare a place for the affected individuals to relocate. Highlighting that the residents of the SFI housing estate are also citizens with rights, Jeffridin expresses concern that the state government appears to view the matter solely from a business profit and loss perspective.
He reminds the authorities that the affected individuals are the people of Sabah, entitled to basic facilities as human beings and deserving of compensation if they lose their jobs. A total of 647 families residing in the SFI Housing Estate, all of them former SFI factory workers, are affected by this decision.
