By Ezra Haganez
LUYANG: The Kuamut State Reform Party (STAR) committee recently handed over to state STAR bundles of evidences of Native Customary Rights (NCR) lands of the Tambanuo community within Kuamut and Sukau constituencies in Kinabatangan area.

A local Tambanuo leader, James Ait, who is also STAR Sabah chapter state committee member presented the documents to STAR Sabah chapter chairman, Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan at his office in Damai, Luyang.


"The Tambanuo communities in Kinabatangan are facing an uphill battle on their NCR lands, and so we provide this relevant documents to STAR so as the party may know what to do with them in near future, including on courts action," he said at the simple ceremony witnessed by United Borneo Front (UBF) legal adviser, CK Low.


According to Ait, the struggle to protect NCR lands is paramount in the mind of the leadership of both state STAR and the Kuamut division. They viewed NCR issues in Kinabatangan area as one of the most serious cases in Sabah beside those in Kota Marudu, Pitas and also lower Interior.

The UMNO-led state government has failed to protect our NCR, said Ait denouncing leaders with links to companies that were taking over NCR areas.
