Pangai Anak Jimbai, Resident of the Longhouse Sungai Laung Bakong, Tinjar, Baram
*Decades Later: Lawyer Roland Engan Brings Justice to Sungai Laung*
In 2013, the palm oil plantation company Asam Bumi Plantation opened a palm oil plantation in the NCR land of the Sungai Laung residents. The majority of residents opposed it because it affected their livelihoods.
Most of the residents' land is included in the PL granted to the Asam Bumi Plantation company. Despite objections and several police reports being made, the company still encroached on the residents' land and started planting palm oil.
Pangai Anak Jimbai and his family (6 doors/6 heads of families) own a 6.5-hectare garden that was affected. Asam Bumi Plantation did not pay any compensation. They are trying to regain the seized land.
Pangai and his siblings hired a lawyer named Yong Wong. However, after several years, Pangai found that the lawyer was conspiring to defraud the villagers. The villagers felt cheated and had lost tens of thousands of ringgit.
Pangai said that, thanks to the help of Lawyer Roland Engan, the case of the Sungai Laung Longhouse residents will be heard in the coming months.
Therefore, I fully agree and support the demand for Section 5(7) of the Sarawak Land Code 1958 to be repealed - said Pangai Anak Jimbai.
