Micheal Mering Jok, Secretary General of SCRIPS (Society for Rights Of Indigenous People Of Sarawak)
*Addressing Historical Injustices: Securing Land Rights for Sarawak's Indigenous People*
Michael Mering Jok feels surprised and perplexed by the fact that GPS Member of Parliament from Sri Aman, Sophia Brodie, earnestly applied to PMX for an allocation in the 2024 budget to conduct land measurements in NCR (Native Customary Rights) land in Sarawak. Firstly, this is incorrect because land falls under the jurisdiction of the state, and secondly, Sarawak itself possesses state funds amounting to RM30 billion, as Sarawak Premier Abang Johari has consistently boasted. Sophia Brodie should have urged the Premier to use these funds to complete the long-delayed land surveying for Sarawak residents. The issue of land measurement has been raised by GPS.
SCRIPS has already conducted land surveys for some longhouse residents in Sarawak, and this process is neither difficult nor expensive. The complexity arises when the GPS-led Sarawak government ventures into the interior regions and continues to survey land owned by villagers under Section 6. Section 6 surveys are conducted upon requests from Sarawak residents who do not possess land titles. They apply to the state government and are granted land with communal land status, which is utilized for a certain period of time. This type of land was allocated to Sarawakians who arrived in Sarawak after January 1, 1958, or after the formation of Malaysia. However, the Sarawak government should not survey the land belonging to our indigenous people who have inhabited the island of Borneo for hundreds of years prior to the arrival of the Brooks administration. In cases like these, the government should measure our land using Section 18, granting us ownership titles to our ancestral land. I request the GPS Sarawak administration to rectify this land ownership policy, as it is unfair and infringes upon the rights of our indigenous people.
