Dennis Along, Resident of Long Terawan Long House, Mulu
*Land Deception: Community Leaders and Former Government Officials Turn Advocates Sparking Panic for Illicit Land Acquisition*
Dennis Along and his associates filed a report today with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in Miri regarding the alleged abuse of power and misappropriation of funds by tribal leaders and counselors. The case revolves around the questionable utilization of RM2 million in cash labeled as a "donation" by PUSAKA KTS in 2009 to the residents of Long Terawan and Long Melinau Mulu, with no accompanying financial statements. This donation is connected to the alleged taking of Native Customary Rights (NCR) land from the villagers.
He strongly criticized the community leaders, labeling them as a group of scammers with the victims being the villagers. In 2019, Radian Legon initiated a palm oil plantation on NCR land in Long Terawan and Long Melinau, promising cash assistance of RM400k for each village and RM200k for a water pipe project in Long Terawan. However, no financial statements for these funds have been provided, and as of today, only the pipe has been installed without a water source.
Dennis claimed that irrespective of changes in leadership, from village chiefs to counselors, the modus operandi remains the same, indicating collusion with previous officials. Retired officials, after leaving public service, allegedly join large plantation companies and act as advocates, collaborating with village chiefs to deceive residents into surrendering their land. They allegedly withhold the consequences of section 6 from the villagers, emphasizing that refusal to sign would result in no compensation, using intimidation tactics supported by certain elected representatives (YBs).
Dennis mentioned that despite multiple requests for responses from Baram MP Dennis Ngau and Mulu State Assemblyman Gerawat, they have not been truthful and have even threatened arrests through the media if villagers obstruct land survey activities.
Several villages are currently troubled by land survey issues, with former interior officials allegedly acting as survey advocates, spreading misinformation through WhatsApp groups to create panic.
Dennis urged MACC to thoroughly investigate the matter and vowed to escalate the case to MACC headquarters.
