Tr Panting ak Baling, Village Leader of Similajau Bintulu Agricultural Heritage Park.
*Standing Strong: How Tr Panting and Villagers Protected Their Land*
Tr Panting shared his happiness with all the villagers for successfully defending the oil palm and coffee plantation land they had been cultivating. This success was the result of cooperation between all parties involved — the villagers, SADIA, Suhakam, the Police, the former chief secretary of the Sarawak state government, and also RFS. The overseas-based RFS appeared to be quite influential and feared by the SFC. Now, the villagers were free to harvest palm fruit, with the price of a ton of fresh palm oil at RM700 and ground coffee selling for RM100 per kilogram. The villagers were relieved, as this provided some income to support their families.
The most recent incident occurred about three days ago when a group of five SFC officers, using three cars, attempted to erect a fence at the entrance to the plantation. The villagers, who were keeping watch at the blockade site, quickly discovered the officers. They stopped the three cars and confiscated all the car keys. The villagers contacted their head, TR Panting, who confronted the SFC officers. Tr Panting warned them that if the SFC made any further attempts to put up a fence or prevent residents from accessing their agricultural land, strict action would be taken. After the warning, the SFC officers and their cars were released. Since then, the villagers have been free to work in their gardens, and they continue to take turns keeping vigil at the blockade site.
