[TOP STORY]
Dennis Along, Head of Information PKR Baram
*Federal return land to state Gov? then GPS please do the same, return land to the people*
Deputy Prime Minister- Fadilah Yusuf explained that the Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change is in the final stages of refining the land return mechanism to the state government. This matter was accelerated as a result of Sarawak Premier Abang Jo's insistence and agreed by PMX during his visit to Sarawak last January. State LAND, owned by the federal government for school buildings, health facilities, fire stations, police stations or military bases, must be returned to the state if there is no sign- sign it will be used within the next three months. The decision, agreed at a meeting of the Action Council for the Implementation of the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MTPMA63) chaired by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, applies to all states in the country.
Dennis admits this is a good development. But Dennis expects the state government to do the same. That is, any indigenous people's land that is given to a large company or used for development purposes. If not used should be returned to the indigenous people (land owners). Giving an example in Mulu, 28 years ago an area of 250 hectares of native land was given to the Bursa Mulu company to develop a hotel. Only 3 acres are used for Hotel buildings and approximately 10 acres for other uses. This means that hundreds of acres of the remaining land are abandoned and failed to be developed.
Dennis got information that the Bursa Mulu company leased the land to a financial institution and made a profit of tens of millions of ringgit. Therefore he request that the land for such cases be returned to the indigenous people (land owners). The state government should not have a double standard. Dennis believes that cases like the one in Mulu happen all over Sarawak.
