【FORUM：COMMUNITY VOICE】
Harrison Ngau, Lawyer / Political activist since the 1970s.
*Reclaiming Our Rights: A Strategy for NCR Land*
Harrison Ngau believes that since BN/GPS administered Sarawak, the rights of the Dayak/Orang Asal to NCR land have been eroded and if GPS is left with the land policy they are currently practicing. Less than 20 years from now, the NCR land of the indigenous people will be wiped out. The erosion of the Dayak people's land rights is not only due to provisions in the Sarawak land code that are not in their favor but also contributed to by inconsistent court decisions. According to him, the court is also influenced by political power. Some shocking court decisions (the case of Nor anak Nyawai) are against the traditional/ custom/ historical practices and life practices of the Dayak community. Thousands of years before Brooke's arrival. The Dayak community lives without a constitution and they use customs and traditional practices as having legal authority. Brooke's arrival in 1841 to 1946- Brooke recognized Dayak land ownership with several orders/decrees and issued maps and title deeds. Even during the British administration in 1946, the British still recognized the ownership rights of the Dayaks over their NCR. It was only from 1948 that the British made it mandatory for each village to apply for a permit to cultivate land that is outside the ncr land. Therefore, because it is very strange when Sarawak is ruled by Sarawak's own people, the Dayak people's rights to the land are being eroded. The following steps need to be taken immediately to restore and maintain the Dayak's rights to their lands, rivers and forests.
1. Demand to revise the Sarawak Land Code and cancel the section that is not clear and that does not protect Dayak and Bumiputra rights. In particular, section 197 of the Sarawak Land Code.
2. Establish a royal inquiry committee to investigate, prosecute and return Dayak land rights that were unjustly confiscated.
3. Cancellation and revocation of licences, permits and PLs that overlap or are in ncr land areas.
4. Carry out land surveying for the Dayak people using the existing communal land boundary and issue land title deeds for villages and individuals. Instead of using sec 6 of the Sarawak Land Code.
5. Abolish the land survey using sec 6 of the Sarawak land code and the awarding of NTDs to villages. Currently NTD is given to villages that apply for land for village use. Around 500 hectares are given to each village and can appeal to the state government to get a maximum of 1000 hectares for each village. But in Baram the average NCR land of villages in Baram is 12,000 hectares. Imagine how much land of the villagers was confiscated by GPS with the implementation of NTD.
6. Return the Dayak lands that were seized through unfair trials and investigate the owners of PL, LICENSES and permits given by gps leaders to their cronies over the years.
