BAU: A total of 2,771 land titles issued under the Section 18 of the Sarawak Land Code were handed over to 305 landowners in Tasik Biru here yesterday.

Three villages were presented with land titles under section 18 of the Sarawak Land Code – Kampung Senibong with 78 lots comprising 69 recipients, Kampung Barieng (126 lots comprising 103 recipients) and Kampung Skibang (101 lots comprising 100 recipients).

These were for Bumiputera land rights for plantation, and Kampung Skibang was under the traditional perimeter survey.

Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan was present to hand over the land titles to the recipients.

Meanwhile, Tasik Biru assemblyman Datuk Henry Harry Jinep stressed that this land survey programme was carried out without any prejudice to the individual’s political preference.

He added that the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) government is sincere and wants to ensure the rights of its rakyat (citizens) on their land are protected under the law through the issuance of land titles.

“The perimeter survey of the village and handover of the land titles for native customary rights (NCR) land by the State government is a continuous programme”, he said.

Meanwhile, to date, 2,771 land titles have been issued for Tasik Biru since 2018 until 2022 to help protect the land of the communities in the area.

Present at the ceremony were Batu Kitang assemblyman Lo Khere Chiang and Bau District Officer Anielia Siam.
