Micheal Mering Jok, General Secretary of SCRIPS (Sarawak Indigenous Rights Association)
*Anger Grows as NCR Lands in Belaga Face Unlawful Invasion by Unknown Parties*
According to Micheal, SCRIPS is reviewing the complaints received by it from the villagers, particularly in Belaga, Murum, Baram and Mulu related to the invasion by unknown parties entering NCR customary land and allegedly making land measurements and mapping. They did not get permission from the villagers -they do not show any valid documents from the authorities/government. Micheal is convinced that these parties are looking for new sites for illegal logging on the NCR land of the residents as well as possibly looking for valuable metals/minerals to steal. It is more unfortunate that these parties are given the cooperation of tribal leaders and some villagers who want immediate financial compensation. There is a possibility that the YB of the area is also involved or government officials who work with the forest department or the department that issues logging or plantation licenses. I want to warn these intruders and thieves to stop this act, because the anger of the villagers has reached its peak. Avoid unwanted incidents. Micheal appealed to the government to tighten monitoring and act decisively against corrupt officials. Please act decisively - Said Micheal Jok. Micheal called on the public to report immediately if they see a glimpse of foreigners/outsiders who are supposedly carrying equipment to measure villagers' land for development projects. Report to us and we will investigate- Said Micheal Jok. Lately Kampung Long Bangan Belaga (Kampung Micheal Jok) and Kampung Una Sambop Belaga reported that their land was encroached by the company MM Golden and UU Green Sdn.BHd.
