Tr. Mini Ak Ringkai- Head of Ruan Village, Simunjan.
*Corporate Land Use in NCR Leaves Villagers Empty-Handed After Harvest*
Tr. Mini reported that 9 longhouses held a blockade for the past 2 weeks to prevent the Semalatong Tabung Haji Plantation Company (TH) from taking palm oil out of the plantation.
About 7 years ago TH opened a palm oil plantation in the area of Kampung Ruan Simunjan (known as Semalatong Farm) with the cooperation of NCR landowners who live in the area. The joint venture was successful with the residents handing over their NCR land and in return they were given shares in the TH company. But after 7 years have passed and after the palm oil has yielded, TH does not share any profit from the farm to the residents.
Residents felt deceived and staged a blockade and demanded that their NCR land be returned and that TH should pay compensation for the damage to the land and the losses they have suffered over the years, as long as their land was handed over to TH.
From the beginning, the residents were suspicious of the joint venture but did not know the right way to fight TH. They are asking for a dialogue, but ignored by TH. It is understood that TH has obtained a court order for the eviction of the residents who held the blockade. It is also understood that lawyer Doinic Ng will meet with the residents later this afternoon.
NCR land development cooperation like what happened in Kampung Ruan is a method that is said to benefit the residents if it is implemented well. The developer was not given a PL as usual but was given a "Development Area". In this case, the residents who own NCR land in those 9 villages own the land. But the other party invited by TH represented them. Further reports will be explained by resident lawyer Dominic Ng.
