The Legacy of Taib Mahmud: Land Seizures and Allegations of Corruption in Sarawak
Nicholas Mujah describes the issues faced by the community in UsahaJaya Tukau, Miri, as a result of the people's lack of awareness of their rights and their failure to advocate for their permanent status. It is known that during Taib Mahmud's over 30 years in power as Chief Minister, he silently carried out land seizures, granting rights to his family members such as his sister Raziah Mahmud to obtain the land in Tukau Jaya. It is not denied that the late Tok Nan (Adenan Satem) had previously awarded the land to the people of UsahaJaya Tukau, but it should be understood that before Tok Nan became Chief Minister of Sarawak, Taib Mahmud had already been in power and it is certain that the area had already been given to his sister and Parabena Company.
As a result, the people living on government land in Sarawak are considered temporary occupants until the authorized developer with a Provisional Lease takes over according to the law. The people have no permanent place because of the corrupt political system at play.
However, if the people want to take action, the only way is through international law, specifically Economic Justice, which many are unaware of.
If the people have conducted community mapping, it cannot be used to obtain grants without the approval of government agencies such as the Department of Land and Survey. However, the mapping can be used during court proceedings. Through political will, the oppressive system that affects the people can be changed.
