“The Chief Minister need to realize that NCR and native lands are life to the natives and too precious and should not play with words to hoodwink the natives” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief, in response to the Chief Minister’s reply in the State Legislative Assembly on Monday that the government has given priority to native rights.
The government’s ploy in using the State Attorney General and more recently the Lands and Surveys Director to state the government’s policy that NCR did not exist after 1930 has obviously backfired. The move had incurred the wrath of the natives and reduced substantially the support of the Umno/BN government especially for the local KDM parties, PBS and Upko.
The Chief Minister’s statement is clearly an attempt to pacify the natives and to hoodwink them into thinking that the government is protecting and safeguarding the native rights when it is abundantly clear that native rights and NCR have been ignored and sidelined throughout the entire State.
NCR and Native Lands is Life
It cannot be more emphasized than the decision of the learned Kota Kinabalu High Court Judge who ruled in March 2011 that native customary rights was equivalent to a ‘right to life’ in setting aside the conviction of 6 natives who were found guilty of trespass in the Kuala Tomani Forest Reserve, Tenom. The learned Judge also overturned the ruling of the lower court which in effect establishes the law that NCR can be claimed in a forest reserve.
The learned Judge went on to add that “The legal status of native customary rights in this country, in my view, is well established,” and cited several cases to support his view.
The State Attorney General has appealed against the decision of the said Judge. This is equal to the government saying that the natives have no NCR and should be convicted and sent to jail.
How much more cruel can this present Umno/BN state government be? The irony is that such a policy is supported by Sabah KDM parties like PBS and Upko who should by right be the strongest supporter and advocate of native rights including NCR.
Lest we forget, the government and the BN component leaders should be reminded that in the recent past, the Forestry Department have not only evicted natives but have in fact torched their homes and destroyed their crops and plants.
Umno/BN State Government Does Not Respect NCR Nor Prioritize Sabahans
In land administration and practice, the State government has failed to protect and safeguard NCR claims and it is wrong for the Lands and Surveys Department to impose on the natives to “apply” for their NCR lands via a land application (LA) or “permohonan tanah (PT)” when all is required by the Land Ordinance is for the natives to stake their claims. Under the Land Ordinance, it is imperative on the government right down to the village head or “ketua kampong” to verify and confirm the NCR. It is not right to ask the natives to apply for NCR and be treated as a land application.
This may be the reason why the Chief Minister has given the figure that there were only 615 claims for NCR for the past 15 years of which 338 cases are still pending. For the information of the CM, there are many, many cases of NCR claims which may be classified as land applications and many have been pending for years with a particular case which was told to the Lands and Surveys Director at a national forum in January 2012 that his application is still pending after 31 years.
The CM has also failed to explain that under the Land Ordinance, lands under lawful occupation as in NCR cases are excluded from state or government land. It is mischievous for him to merely state illegal occupation (and implying to include lawful occupation via NCR) does not confer legal land rights or conclude that all State lands belonged to the State government after 1930.
As the law stands on December 13, 1930 or even now, the natives have every legal right to NCR and to claim for the land rights.
If the Chief Minister and the Umno/BN government agrees with the views of the State Attorney General and the Lands and Surveys Director (which appears to be the case in view of the large number and land and NCR conflicts throughout the State), the government should amend the law to clearly recognize NCR and to update the law in accordance with today’s needs and to simplify the process of NCR claims for the benefit of the natives.
If the State government and their leaders have doubts, they should refer to the Land and NCR Reforms of STAR Sabah for guidance.
The numbers given by the Chief Minister also clearly shows that there is no priority for lands to be approved for natives as only 24.7% of the State lands are given to natives and that the government also did not prioritize the alienation of land to the local Sabahans.
No Sense of Urgency
The native land rights issue in Sabah is critical and needs an urgent solution (as was highlighted by the YB of Sukau) and not rhetorics. Unlike the rhetorics of the Chief Minister, if the Umno/BN government had done all the right things in defending the people, all the land disputes would not have happened.
“If the Umno/BN government fails to resolve the land disputes and problems and the NCR issue, the natives such as in Sukau, Tongod, Pitas and Sook, who are forced from their homes, may have no choice but to take up arms to defend themselves and their lands and properties.
Set Up Land Tribunal and Establish Clear Land Policy
On step forward to be taken to resolve the land disputes is to immediately establish the Land Tribunal.
Another immediate step that the government needs to be take is to come up with a clear Land and NCR Policy that prioritize native rights as well as for the ordinary Sabahans for other lands and not for outsiders.
Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan is Chairman of STAR Sabah
The chief minister already stated that he will look into the matter. W
ReplyDeleteTop priority is given in tackling the right of ownership on Native Customary Rights (NCR) land and to find the best solutions to problems to protect the interest of the natives.Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman said every NCR claim received by the government would be studied as deeply as possible to confirm its legitimacy. Priority will be given to looking after, preserving and protecting the interest of the natives.
DeleteMusa, who is also the state finance minister, said 890,626.47 hectares or 45 per cent of the total government land had been given ownership in Sabah through five methods, including Native Title (NT), equity and gazetting.In this regard. 17,501 applications for land were processed last year and 6,872 were backed for approval through a meeting of the District Land Utilisation Committee (LUC), with 6,218 applications under Native Title.As of August 2012, 35,350 applications for land were processed, and 10,540 including 9,922 under NT were supported for approval via a meeting of LUC.
DeleteThe Chief Minister added that NCR claims could still be forwarded under Section 14 to the Assistant Collector of Land Revenue (PPHT) although the Sabah Land Ordinance had been legislated on December 13, 1930.At the same time, the state government would continue to strive to increase land ownership by Sabah-born through other simpler and effective means.He said that until December 2011, the state government through the Land and Survey Department had registered 348,652 land ownerships. Of the total, 190,452 were NT and given to applicants through the land application approval process. This is 55 per cent of the overall number of land ownerships registered in Sabah.
DeleteA total of 1,970,961 hectares had been given ownerships, and, of the total, 487,680 hectares were under NT which is 24.7 per cent of the land ownerships registered in Sabah,” he said.In rejecting accusations saying the state government sidelined claims for NCR and discriminated against giving land rights to Sabah-born, he said the government was always open to criticisms, views and constructive suggestions to boost the delivery system from time to time.
DeleteHe said the Forestry Department had also been ordered to cease the new delineation process of the forest reserves in several areas resided and worked by residents to allow investigations to be carried out on their status.He said the state government was also planning to issue communal grants in Kota Marudu (17,000 acres), Pintas (10,000 acres), Tongod (15,000 acres) and Semporna (5,117.12 acres).He said, the state government, in the state assembly sitting in April 2010, had dissolved 24,563 hectares from the Sook Plain forest reserve and Mandalom through a land swap with government land to enable communal grants to be issued.
DeleteUntil December 2011, 36,486.43 hectares had been and are being developed with agricultural plantation in a smart partnership between government agencies and in-situ Sabahans. He said since 2000 until today, there were 41 cases involving 1,243 claims by Sabahans filed in court which involved NCR claim issues, of which 10 claims were rejected involving 1,021 claimants while only four claims were allowed by the court involving 17 claimants, and five cases involving 17 claimants opted for consent judgements.He said, four cases involving five claimants were withdrawn and the remaining 18 cases, involving 183 claimants, had not been decided by the court.
DeleteIn the meantime, he said 615 customary land demand cases had been registered whereby 207 were recognised, 70 rejected and 338 still being investigated.In this regard, he said the state government pledged to speed up the investigating process of cases still being investigated by using the Native Customary Rights Fast Unit (PANTAS) especially in the rural areas under the Sabah Land Ordinance.He also reminded that NCR issues should not be manipulated because it touched on the interest on the natives who should be supported by all parties to ensure such issues could be tackled and properly solved.
DeleteSeperti yang kita tahu Kerajaan negeri serius menguruskan hak pemilikan Tanah Hak Adat Negeri (NCR) sebagai prioriti bagi memelihara kepentingan orang asal Sabah.
DeleteDatuk Musa ada mengatakan yang mana secara peribadi akan memastikan prinsip ini, iaitu menjaga, memelihara dan melindungi kepentingan hak-hak orang asal, akan sentiasa didahulukan.
Delete890,626.47 hektar tanah akan diagihkan kepada pemilik yang sah dengan geran komunal. Harap usaha ini akan berjaya sepenuhnya.
DeleteAll this while, actions have been taken to deal with the NCR land applications. Is Jeffrey denying the efforts made by the govt?
DeleteThe State Government, through the Land and Survey Department, has recognised Native Customary Right (NCR) land since the formulation of the Sabah Land Ordinance until today, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman.
Deletekerajaan negeri sentiasa mementingkan kepentingan orang asal..
DeleteHow about STAR? Not hoodwink too?
DeleteIn fact they are making more headlines than us here.
DeleteUsaha yang baik daripada Datuk Musa untuk menyelesaikan masalah NCR. Tindakkan prihatin kerajaan Negeri ini satu perkara yang patut kita sokong.
ReplyDeleteBetul..Sememangnya perlu disokong usaha yang baik kepada penduduk Sabah. Kerajaan perlu memastikan yang terbaik kepada penduduk Sabah.
DeleteResponding to questions during the question and answer session at the State Assembly sitting on Monday, he stressed that the policy of NCR was still enforced and being implemented.
Delete"NCR claims can still be applied under Section 14 of the Sabah Land Ordinance to the Assistant Collector of Land Revenue (ACLR) despite four provisions in the ordinance formulated on December 13, 1930," he said.
DeleteIsu NCR harus diselesaikan secepat mungkin.
Deleteisu NCR akan diselesaikan oleh kerajaan negeri...pembangkang tidak mampu berbuat apa2 kecuali mempolitikkan isu ini..
Deletesekarang ini kerajaan begitu serius untuk menangani masalah NCR.Keutamaan diberikan kepada masalah NCR ni.
ReplyDeletesatu persatu masalah Sabah ditangani oleh kerajaan pimpinan datuk musa aman.. sementara pembangkang pula asyik berkempen mempopularkan parti dengan memburuk2kan kerajaan..
DeleteBetul..satu persatu telah dirancang untuk memastikan kepentingan rakyat dapat diselesaikan. Pembangkang cuma tahu bercakap kosong dan menabur janji yang bukan-bukan.
DeleteRecently, a ground breaking for the building of native court has been done in Penampang. By having this native court, hopefully it helps to solve the native matters.
DeleteMusa, who is also State Finance Minister, said the State Government had discharged its fiduciary duties at its level to preserve and protect the native land rights and ownership.
Delete"Accusations that the State Government is sidelining NCR land claims and discriminating land ownership for natives are totally untrue," he said, reminding all quarters to stop twisting and manipulating the NCR issue.
DeleteHak dan kepentingan rakyat harus diutamakan.
Deletepembangkang hanya tahu mempolitikkan isu rakyat...seperti isu NCR, kemiskianan...
Deletemusa tak pernah mengabaikan rakyat, isu NCR turut menjadi perhatian dan usaha penyelesaian dilakukan.
ReplyDeleteMusa said since it involves aboriginal, proper coperation is needed to solve the NCR issues.
DeleteMusa was answering a question by Kunak Assemblyman, Datuk Nilwan Kabang, who asked whether the Government condoned the abolishment of NCR status of an area which had been resided by natives since time immemorial just because it was enforcing the 1930 Sabah Land Ordinance.
DeleteLast week, Musa had promised that the State Government would be answering all the issues raised concerning NCR in order to clear the air once and for all at the current Budget sitting.
DeleteAccording to him, it took the British North Borneo Chartered Company 41 years to formulate the best land law on NCR, that is the Sabah Land Ordinance,
Deleteto be applied in Sabah in order to protect and preserve the customary right land and native land ownership in line with the spirit of Article No.9 of the Royal English Charter.
DeleteIn order to achieve the objective, the British North Borneo Chartered Company administration had included new provisions under Section 5, Section 6, Section 65 and Section 88 in the Sabah Land Ordinance.
DeleteHe told the House that Section 5 was related to "Government property in land", Section 6 was concerned about "Unlawful occupation not to establish any right", Section 65 on "Customary tenure" while Section 88 was on "No title or claim to land valid unless registered."
DeleteTherefore, any illegal occupation of State land (no matter how long) or occupation through Temporary Occupation Lease (TOL) cannot be taken as the right to establish claim for ownership.
DeleteRight, grant, interest or transaction of a land could only be considered as legal after it had been registered in accordance to the Sabah Land Ordinance except for land, the ownership of which is being handed down from generation without any documents.
DeleteThe implementation of the land law on Dec. 13, 1930 had a major impact on NCR land claims in Sabah because before that occupation by natives was done freely and they would be awarded with the land ownership if the occupation satisfied the requirements for native rights land.
DeleteAfter the law was enforced, this was governed by the four provisions whereby the legitimacy of the land occupation must be ascertained through Section 15 of the Sabah Land Ordinance (Customary Right Land Definition).
DeleteIn this respect, he said for the past 15 years until September this year, 615 NCR claims involving 1,164 claimants had been received and registered at the Land Offices throughout the State.
DeleteSince year 2000, he said 41 cases of NCR claims involving 1,243 natives as the claimants had been filed in the court but 10 of them involving 1,021 claimants had been thrown out and only four claims involving 17 claimants were allowed for trial by the court.
DeleteFour cases had been withdrawn while the rest are still awaiting decisions from the court, he said.
bajet sabah 2013 merupakan satu rekod mengatasi bajet sabah 2012 sebanyak 40 juta...ini adalah bukti kesungguhan kerajaan negeri di bawah pimpinan musa aman dalam usaha membangunkan negeri sabah dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan hidup rakyat.
DeleteHak Adat Bumiputera (NCR) yang telah menjadi satu isu politik akhir-akhir ini, Ketua Menteri mendedahkan bahawa kerajaan negeri akan menjelaskan isu-isu terperinci mengenai tuntutan tanah adat di sidang Dewan Undangan Negeri minggu depan.
ReplyDeleteNampaknya kerajaan sedang mencari jalan yang terbaik untuk menyelesaikan isu yang sering dipermainkan oleh pembangkang ini.
That is a positive sign that the govt put efforts in tackling the NCR problems.
DeleteSemoga usaha ini berhasil.
Deletekerajaan mencari penyelesaian kepada isu ini...pembangkang pula hanya mempolitikkan isu ini...
DeleteKerajaan negeri tidak pernah membelakangkan penduduk asal Sabah. Itulah yang Datuk Musa katakan kepada rakyat Sabah.
ReplyDeleteProblems such as NCR claims cannot be solved in overnight. All these take time.
DeleteKerajaan negeri serius menguruskan hak pemilikan Tanah Hak Adat Negeri (NCR) sebagai prioriti bagi memelihara kepentingan orang asal Sabah, kata Ketua Menteri Datuk Seri Musa Aman.
ReplyDeleteYang mana kita tahu Kerajaan Negeri Sabah ini sedang mengambil langkah-langkah segera bagi meredakan isu tuntutan tanah NCR.
ReplyDeleteMusa yang juga Menteri Kewangan negeri berkata jumlah keseluruhan keluasan tanah kerajaan yang diperuntuk kepada anak negeri Sabah melalui lima kaedah sama ada dalam bentuk hakmilik tanah Native Title (NT), ekuiti dan pewartaan adalah seluas 890,626.47 hektar atau 45 peratus daripada keluasan tanah kerajaan yang telah diberimilik di Sabah.
ReplyDeleteMerujuk kepada arahan kerajaan baru-baru ini kepada Jabatan Perhutanan untuk menghentikan semula persempadanan sempadan hutan simpan di kawasan-kawasan di mana persempadanan meliputi kawasan yang dituntut oleh masyarakat tempatan sebagai tanah adat mereka.
ReplyDeletepada tahun lepas, sebanyak 17,501 permohonan tanah diproses dan 6,872 permohonan telah disokong untuk diluluskan melalui mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Penggunaan Tanah Daerah (LUC).
ReplyDeleteSemoga lebih banyak permohonan dapat diluluskan.
DeleteDatuk Musa telah pun menghalang Pengarah Perhutanan untuk memastikan bahawa tanah adat tidak diganggu oleh kerajaan negeri. Ini bagi memastikan usaha membantu penyelesaian tanah ini dapat dilakukan.
ReplyDeleteBeberapa kawasan dalam hutan simpan boleh diberimilik di bawah gerankomunal kepada mereka yang menduduki tanah itu sejak bertahun-tahun lamanya.
ReplyDeleteMengingatkan rakyat bahawa Sabah sudah menikmati hasil kemakmuran negara di bawah BN danPerdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib. Apa yang penting ialah rakyat Sabah perlu bersatu dalam memberi sokongan penuh kepada kepimpinan Najib
ReplyDeleteKerajaan cuba memberikan geran komunal kepada rakyat sebab ini bagi memastika tanah itu akan dapat diusahakan dan tidak dijual pada akan datang.
ReplyDeleteMusa Aman berkta, kerajaan negeri telah memberhentikan persempadanan semula hutan simpanan kerana didapati wujud percanggahan dengan tuntutan tanah adat tersebut.
ReplyDeleteMusa berkata kerajaan negeri telah mengambil pendekatan menukar status tanah hutan simpanan kepada tanah milik kerajaan supaya penduduk pribumi yang tinggal di kawasan itu untuk sekian lama diberi geran komunal.
ReplyDeletepemberian geran tanah ini merupakan bukti kerajaan yang diteraju Barisan Nasional (BN) benar-benar berusaha membantu menyelesaikan masalah rakyat.
ReplyDeleteharap semua penerima geran ini menjaga, mengusaha dan memajukan tanah masing-masing sebaik mungkin supata dapat diwariskan kepada anak cucu selain memastikan tanah itu tidak jual untuk mendapatkan keuntungan segera.
ReplyDeletegeran komunal adalah bukti kerajaan melindungi hak rakyat.. melalui geran ini, rakyat tidak berhak lagi untuk menjual tanah itu..
DeleteCannot put the blame on the govt alone. Problem hapens when the natives themselves sold their land to other people. The geran komunal is a wise approach from the govt.
DeleteChief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman said every NCR claim received by the government would be studied as deeply as possible to confirm its legitimacy.
ReplyDeleteIt is a must. Just look at Jimmy Wong case where he faked his native status. If the claim not been studied deeply, the land will fall to wrong hands.
Delete"The government’s ploy in using the State Attorney General and more recently the Lands and Surveys Director to state the government’s policy that NCR did not exist after 1930 has obviously backfired."
ReplyDeleteKenyataan Pengarah Jabatan Tanah dan Ukur Sabah, Datuk Osman Jamal pada 26 September 2012 yang mengatakan bahawa Hak NCR Bumiputera sudah tidak berkuat-kuasa sejak 13 Disember 1930 dan pemohon selepas tarikh itu tidak lagi mempunyai hak demikian; hanya merupakan tafsiran peribadi dan bukannya tafsiran rasmi atau tafsiran dipihak kerajaan BN Sabah.
Osman Jamal should not make an insensitive statement as it will affect the govt image as well.
DeleteKetua Menteri Sabah Datuk Musa Aman sendiri pernah membincangkan perkara ini secara mendalam ketika mesyuarat kabinet negeri awal tahun ini susulan kenyataan yang sama dibuat oleh Peguam Besar Sabah Datuk Roderic Fernandez pada waktu itu. Kesudian Datuk Musa Aman membawa perkara ini ke mesyuarat kabinet negeri menunjukkan pendirian kerajaan Sabah sangat memandang serius isu Tanah Adat Negeri (NCR) dan berusaha mencari penyelesaian terbaik yang boleh menguntungkan semua pihak terutamanya penduduk pribumi negeri ini.
ReplyDeleteThe oppositions blinding themselves and make false accusations for their political benefit.
DeleteMalah Datuk Maximus Ongkili sendiri memberikan jaminan bahawa sekiranya tafsiran ini benar, PBS akan bertindak dengan mendesak kerajaan supaya melakukan pindaan dalam Ordinan Tanah Sabah bagi melindungi hak penduduk pribumi di negeri ini. Selain Maximus, Tan Sri Bernard Dompok juga tidak bersetuju dengan kenyataan atau pandangan yang cuba menafikan hak-hak pribumi Sabah.
ReplyDeleteThe native rights must be upheld, not sidelined them.
Deleteyang penting hak dan kepentingan rakyat dijaga dengan sebaiknya.
DeleteMelalui pendirian tegas pemimpin-pemimpin komponen BN Sabah ini, rakyat Sabah tidak perlu risau untuk terus mempertahankan dan menuntut hak-hak mereka walaupun ada segelintir individu yang memegang portfolio tertentu dalam kerajaan yang cuba menafikan hak-hak penduduk Sabah.
ReplyDeleteMenurut Ordinan Tanah Sabah Bab 68, sesuatu kawasan akan diiktiraf sebagai kawasan Tanah Adat jika mana-mana daripada terma berikut dipatuhi:
ReplyDelete1. Perolehan tanah menurut Pegangan Adat/Kaum (di mana termanya diterangkan di "Seksyen 65");
2. Tanah yang ditanami dengan buah-buahan, di mana jumlah pokok adalah antara 50 atau lebih pada setiap hektar;
2. Pengasingan pokok buah-buahan, sagu, rotan atau lain-lain tanaman yang mempunyai nilai komersial yang mana dapat dibuktikan oleh penuntut kepada pemunggut tanpa keraguan;
3. Tanah perladangan/ternakan;
4. Tanah yang telah dimajukan atau diusahakan dalam masa tiga tahun berturut-turut;
5. Tanah perkuburan atau tempat keramat;
6. Jalan masuk biasa bagi orang atau binatang.
Bukankah kewujudan terma-terma ini dalam Odinan Tanah Sabah membuktikan bahawa hak NCR Bumiputera masih berkuat-kuasa sehingga hari ini?
Kerajaan BN Sabah pada dasarnya menyokong tuntutan penduduk terhadap Tanah Adat ini dan tidak mahu kebajikan dan hak penduduk dipinggirkan. Lantaran itu, kawasan yang dituntut berkenaan jika terbukti mematuhi salah satu daripada terma-terma diatas melalui penyiasatan yang sistematik dan telus, perlu dan akan dikembalikan kepada penuntut mengikut keluasan yang sesuai.
ReplyDeleteJika ada pihak yang berpendapat bahawa kerajaan BN Sabah tidak melakukan apa-apa bagi menyelesaikan masalah ini, bagaimana boleh wujudnya cadangan mengeluarkan kawasan Tanah Adat menjadi Tanah Kerajaan yang boleh dipohon penduduk sama ada dalam bentuk geran persendirian atau geran komunal?
ReplyDeleteTWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR,HOW I WONDER WHAT YOU ARE...

ReplyDeleteWhen Jeffrey was in the govt, what has he done? Why only now voicing the problems?
DeleteSabah will have its own training centre for Native Court soon.
ReplyDeleteThe ground-breaking ceremony was performed by our PM DS Najib for the proposed RM30 million Native Court Training Institute (ILMAN) at Kampung Pagansakan in Inobong, Penampang.
DeleteTS Bernard said the ILMAN will be a research centre which will ensure the vision of the Native Court in Sabah and more importantly to train the District Chief, Native Chief and village heads so that the native law can implemented smoothly and exhaustively.
DeleteOnce completed, the training centre will train personnel for the 35 Native Courts throughout the state.
DeleteThe ILMAN will be built on a five-acre site at Kampung Pogun Kibabaig, about one kilometer from the Sabah Cultural Centre and construction is expected to commence in November this year within 24 months.

When asked why he does not utilise these resources, which could potentially increase the state's revenue instead of spending effort and money on his conservation agenda, Musa frankly replied, "Sabah at the moment is already blessed with oil money, so let's keep the forest and minerals for our children's and grandchildren's future." - quote from malaysianmustknowthetruth...
