Nicholas Mujah Ason, Member of the Indigenous Foundation Council (FSC)
*Impact of land measurement sec 6 (people's land converted into government land)*
Today Nicholas Mujah shared a court case involving 7 villages in Sebangan Simunjan. Nicholas Mujah representing the villagers brought the case to court in 2014. In 2005 the residents of 7 villages were shocked when the logging company Hock Tong Hin Sawmil encroached on their land in Sebangan.
The company was given a logging license by the Sarawak state government.
In 1956 the government measured the land in the 7 villages using sec 6. The residents assumed that it was their land and would not be disturbed again by any party. Apparently sec 6 only gives the right to use the land but cannot own it - in simple language the land remains Government land.
Furious with the problem, Mujah sued the Hock Tong Hin Company, the Sarawak Government and the Sarawak forest department. By having strong evidence the people in 7 villages won in the high court, the appeal court and the federal court. By order of the court the residents regained their rights to the land in Sebangan.
But according to Mujah, the best method of recognizing indigenous land ownership is land measurement sec 18.
Returning to his duties as a member of the FSC council of indigenous expert-Mujah was given the task of maintaining environmental sustainability. That is, any forest activity must be sustainable, legally valid, environmentally friendly and socially friendly/ not change the composition of the social life of the local community. Any party that is threatened with environmental/forest development in their respective places.
Can report to me and I will take action as soon as possible. In addition to that, we also instill environmental awareness in the younger generation, through various programs – Mujah said.
