Licki Ngau, Residents of Long Bemang, Baram
*Landowners Seek Clarification on Compensation for Long Bemang Water Supply Project*
Yesterday, a group of Long Bemang Baram residents uploaded a video demanding compensation for landowners affected by the clean water supply project to Long Bemang village. Licki explained that the residents did not oppose the project but were simply asking for appropriate compensation. A few days earlier, YB Dennis Ngau had officiated the groundbreaking ceremony for the clean water supply project, which is being implemented by the Public Works Department. However, there has been no clarification on whether affected landowners will receive compensation, nor has there been any dialogue with the villagers. It seems as if their land is being taken without proper compensation. Licki urged YB Dennis to explain the process for compensation payments.
Licki also noted that two previous clean water supply projects had failed, forcing the residents to rely on rainwater as their drinking water source. While the community is eager for the project to be completed, they believe that compensation should be a priority as well. Long Bemang, a Kayan longhouse with 300 doors, and the nearby primary school are both in urgent need of clean water.
