John Bara, Resident of Uma Akeh, Baram
*Standing Up to Encroachment: Community Fight for Fairness*
John Bara felt compelled to inspect his family's land leased to the quarry company Batu Holy Stone owned by Shin Yang since 1996 - about 28 years ago. In the original agreement, Shin Yang Holy Stone would mine stones on a 4.16-acre land and in return, they would rent the land on a monthly basis. However, what is surprising is that all of the 19.08 hectares of land have been excavated by Shin Yang Holy Stone. When John Bara's family objected and requested additional payment and compensation, the workers of Holy Stone made a police report against them.
Earlier today, John Bara's family met with the Holy Stone representatives and they were invited to a meeting at the Shin Yang Holy Stone HQ in Miri. They declined because only a few of them would be able to make it to Miri and it would also be difficult for them to get the views of other family members living in Kampung Uma Akeh. Therefore, the final decision was to hold the meeting with Shin Yang Holy Stone in Uma Akeh on May 4, 2024.
They are demanding additional rent and compensation for the 28 years during which Holy Stone did not inform them that they had encroached on their land beyond the limits allowed in the agreement. Lawyer Harrison Ngau is representing their family in this claim. One problem they face in this case is that their village headman is siding with Shin Yang Holy Stone. The village headman testified that the quarry area land is communal land of Kampung Uma Akeh. On the contrary - it is clear that their family has a title deed that is surveyed under sec 18.
