Panting Anak Baling, Residents of Sungai Batin Batu Village 11 Bintulu
*Eviction Notice Sparks Outcry Among Bintulu's Farming Community*
The residents of the Batin river village are people from the countryside who migrated to the city of Bintulu to find work. Because they could not afford to rent a house in the city center, they built a house at Batu 11 Jalan Bintulu Coastal Coast. Not so far from Similajau National Park. This village is categorized as an urban slum.
During the administration of Chief Minister Adenan, he helped the people in this village by giving them garden land and agricultural seeds such as oil palm and coffee seeds to be cultivated (just given a title deed). Currently, the plantations of 420 families in this village have been successful. But what surprised them recently, the Sarawak state government through the SFC issued a notice to evict them from the village and fenced off the plantation area and did not allow anyone to enter the area on the grounds that the area had been gazetted as an additional Similajau National Park Forest area.
According to Panting, all this time we were given encouragement, we were promised to be given land deeds and during the administration of adenan satem we were given help with tools and agricultural seeds. But now during the administration of Prime Minister Abang Johari we were kicked out. We are poor people who migrated to the city in search of economic opportunities and to educate our children. We hope that the Sarawak government and SCF will remove our garden area from being included in the addition of the Similajau National Park area. If the government can give thousands of hectares to palm oil plantation companies, why can't the land that we have worked on and succeeded in be given to us. This is our appeal to the premier of Sarawak. Panting said. Panting and 66 others came to the SADIA office in Kuching to get advice from SADIA secretary general Nicholas Mujah.
