Benjamin Lenjau, Resident of Uma Sambop Belaga
*Land Rights Violated: Uma Sambop Demands Government Action Against MM Golden and SOPB*
A few months ago, Benjamin spoke to RFS reporting the encroachment by the company MM Golden sdn.bhd and UU Greend Sdn.Bhd against the forest/land of the residents of Uma Sambop. In simple language, illegal logging occurs in ncr land areas. Both of these companies are linked to Malaysia's deputy minister of natural resources and environmental sustainability Huang Tiong Sii. Following that on 12 Sept 2024, Benjamin made an official report to Suhakam and a copy of the report to the police, sprm, the Sarawak premier's office, the prime minister's office and the Sarawak forest department. As a result of the report, the forest department confiscated some logs that were cut by the MM Golden company on Sept 24, 2024. However, Benjamin and the residents of Uma Sambop were not satisfied because no arrests and prosecutions were made against the owner of the MM Golden company. We the residents of Uma Sambop demand transparency and firmness from the authorities in law enforcement. We want in the near future there will be action against companies that illegally log and encroach on our land - said Benjamin Lenjau. Benjamin and the residents of Uma Sambop also demanded that the oil palm plantation company SOPB - pay compensation to the residents of Uma Sambop for opening an oil palm plantation on the land of Uma Sambop but until now they have not paid any compensation or damages.
