"THE CHIEF Minister need to comprehend which NCR as good as local lands have been hold up to the locals as good as as good changed as good as should not play with words to surprise the natives" said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief, in response to the Chief Minister's reply in the State Legislative Assembly upon Monday which the supervision has given priority to local rights.
The government's ploy in using the State Attorney General as good as some-more recently the Lands as good as Surveys Director to state the government's process which NCR did not exist after 1930 has obviously backfired.The move had incurred the wrath of the locals as good as marked down substantially the await of the Umno/BN supervision generally for the local KDM parties, PBS as good as Upko.
The Chief Minister's matter is obviously an attempt to soften the locals as good as to surprise them into thinking which the supervision is safeguarding as good as safeguarding the local rights when it is abundantly transparent which local rights as good as NCR have been abandoned as good as sidelined via the entire State.
NCR as good as Native Lands is Life
It cannot be some-more emphasized than the decision of the learned Kota Kinabalu High Court Judge who ruled in Mar 2011 which local customary rights was homogeneous to the 'right to life' in setting aside the self-assurance of 6 locals who were found guilty of trespass in the Kuala Tomani Forest Reserve, Tenom.The learned Judge additionally overturned the statute of the lower court w! hich in effect establishes the law which NCR can be claimed in the timberland reserve.
The learned Judge went upon to supplement which "The authorised status of local customary rights in this country, in my view, is good established," as good as cited several cases to await his view.
The State Attorney General has appealed opposite the decision of the said Judge.This is next to to the supervision saying which the locals have no NCR as good as should be convicted as good as sent to jail.
How much some-more cruel can this benefaction Umno/BN state supervision be?The irony is which such the process is upheld by Sabah KDM parties similar to PBS as good as Upko who should by right be the strongest believer as good as advocate of local rights together with NCR.
Lest we forget, the supervision as good as the BN component leaders should be reminded which in the recent past, the Forestry Department have not only evicted locals though have in actuality torched their homes as good as destroyed their crops as good as plants.
Umno/BN State Government Does Not Respect NCR Nor Prioritize Sabahans
In land administration as good as practice, the State supervision has failed to protect as good as safeguard NCR claims as good as it is wrong for the Lands as good as Surveys Department to impose upon the locals to "apply" for their NCR lands around the land duplicate (LA) or "permohonan tanah (PT)" when all is compulsory by the Land Ordinance is for the locals to stake their claims.
Under the Land Ordinance, it is imperative upon the supervision right down to the encampment head or 'ketua kampung' to verify as good as endorse the NCR.It is not right to ask the locals to request for NCR as good as be treated with colour as the land application.
This may be the reason! because the Chief Minister has given the figure which there were only 615 claims for NCR for the past 15 years of which 338 cases have been still pending.For the information of the CM, there have been many, most cases of NCR claims which may be classified as land applications as good as most have been tentative for years with the sold box which was told to the Lands as good as Surveys Director during the national forum in January 2012 which his duplicate is still tentative after 31 years.
The CM has additionally failed to insist which underneath the Land Ordinance, lands underneath official function as in NCR cases have been released from state or supervision land.It is mischievous for him to merely state bootleg function (and implying to embody official function around NCR) does not consult authorised land rights or conclude which all State lands belonged to the State supervision after 1930.
As the law stands upon December 13, 1930 or even now, the locals have every authorised right to NCR as good as to claim for the land rights.
If the Chief Minister as good as the Umno/BN supervision agrees with the views of the State Attorney General as good as the Lands as good as Surveys Director (which appears to be the box in perspective of the vast number as good as land as good as NCR conflicts via the State), the supervision should amend the law to obviously recognize NCR as good as to update the law in accordance with today's needs as good as to facilitate the process of NCR claims for the good of the natives.
If the State supervision as good as their leaders have doubts, they should refer to the Land as good as NCR Reforms of STAR Sabah for guidance.
The numbers given by the Chief Minister additionally obviously shows which there is no priority for lands to be authorized for locals as only 24.7% of the State lands have been given to locals as good as wh! ich the supervision additionally did not prioritize the alienation of land to the local Sabahans.
No Sense of Urgency
The local land rights issue in Sabah is vicious as good as needs an urgent solution (as was highlighted by the YB of Sukau) as good as not rhetorics.Unlike the rhetorics of the Chief Minister, if the Umno/BN supervision had finished all the right things in defending the people, all the land disputes would not have happened.
"If the Umno/BN supervision fails to finalise the land disputes as good as problems as good as the NCR issue, the locals such as in Sukau, Tongod, Pitas as good as Sook, who have been forced from their homes, may have no preference though to take up arms to defend themselves as good as their lands as good as properties.
Set Up Land Tribunal as good as Establish Clear Land Policy
On step forward to be taken to finalise the land disputes is to rught away settle the Land Tribunal.
Another evident step which the supervision needs to be take is to come up with the transparent Land as good as NCR Policy which prioritize local rights as good as for the typical Sabahans for alternative lands as good as not for outsiders. (STAR Sabah)
