Is there an abuse in NCR-JV process
Posted by Maramat Tajak
The Borneo Post today reported some 190 Tuai Rumah were receptive to the Pelita/Sime Darby JV and Wong Judat, the independent ADUN was pleased. This posting is to point out some facts on the ground, which incidentally – unggal Semugah, had also failed to highlight /refute earlier.
Facts on the ground
Logging
1. Even before JV agreement is signed, a trusted source told me, a logging company had been allowed by the authority to log the designated area. There is nothing left in the area – 60K hectares of NCR had been logged.Some of the area is not primary forest, but was planted with Durians and other fruit trees.
TR/Penghulu Signing away Dayak NCR
I had asked why nobody claims – the usual reply was that, what can you do, if the Tuai Rumahs and the Penghulus had already signed away the whole area. Since the area is far from roads and Julau river itself, I was told, people are scared to go out there and find out what happens to their NCR land.
Limited Transparency
2. It looks like the briefing was attended by Tuai Rumahs and Penghulus only. A source also told me, there were no pamphlets, that would show if their land would be bulldozed for the Pelita/Sime Darby oil palm plantation. Instead, as the Borneo Post report, the Tuai Rumahs – who reputedly had already agreed – would be asked to cascade the details of the JV to the anembiak/charges.
So, the cascading- for some Tuai Rumahs – could be an arm twisting/influencing session : as some of them would be a soft target by the JVs.
Memorandum of Consent
3. Where is the Memorandum of Consent, and how would it be distributed to the land owners, remains to be seen.
Given point 2, will individual landowners really understand the terms of the JV ? I’m sure many would express apprehension – but are too afraid to stand up for their rights.
Is Government Responsible to communicate clearly and effectively?
Many more simply have no idea of their rights. Shouldn’t it be the government responsibility to clearly spell out the rights and the terms of the JV, so it would be a case of truly “informed consent” and not a rape and robbery ?
What are the roles of government authorities
Most striking is how the authorities (Forestry Dept, Local Government and the Ministry of Natural Resource) could have allowed the area to be logged – even before the JV agreement was finalised ?
A Case of Change We Must
Can anyone stand and watch this happens, and not be angry at the injustice, perpetrated in real-time ? If it happens in Julau, it must have happened elsewhere, and will continue to happen again …unless the responsible party(ies) is not held to account.

Inspirational word from gkm2020
This Julau JV will be a good test case for PKR to champion the cause of justice. Why logging was allowed, and appear to be given tacit approval prior to the JV agreement ? As Semugah said, the JV is not scheduled to be up for the signing ceremony until 9th July but it was reported that large tracts of the 60K hectar has already been logged since last year.Who had given the logging permit to who and why, thats a case of injustice I’m interested to see addressed.Investigate and publish in the free newspapers – and perhaps translate the article to Iban for local consumption in Sarawak. If PKR wants to establish its credential on the ground, this is the opportunity – and the Dayak masses, needless to say – would need to see evidences that perintah or its machinery, is not a demi-god. If nothing else, it would project an idea that real Change, heck no – I mean Revolution – is possible. Equally, BN supporters, would be most welcome to seek out and spit the truth. Truth will set you free !
Happened here in Bau!
There were two cases where NCR land in thousand of acres were to be leased to a certain company and the dealings only involved three ketua kampungs and a penghulu from Zon Bratak, Bau.Luckily, the deals was opposed to strongly by the villagers of kpg jugan, Bau and i thanked them for that. It was no easy task opposing the JV plan as many letters had to be sent to the DO, YB and the company concerned. What irks me most is how come the Penghulu. Michael N. approved such a JV when the temuda land belongs to villagers but who are not informed at all of the JV? When asked why he endorsed/signed the agreement letter between the culprits and the JV company, the Assistant DO simply claimed he did not know the content of the letter/ agreement. What is wrong with the ADO?
What is wrong with our leaders? Who is going to protect our NCR land?
The Dayak DCM promotes JV on NCR land but hell, their main target is the timber from the land.Am i wrong?
Dayak will become Red Indian of America, the Moari of New Zealand and Aborginies of Australia one day if our present YBS are damn stupid and greedy
YAB are not damn stupied and greedy BJ. They are smarter. If five year term they get not doing for themself they are end up nothing perhaps just like previous politik leader in Swak. So that how Sarawak Politik being introduce from father to son and to brother all YAB.
How we going to do about this that is issue here!! As we all know that so many out there still loyal to BN because to them BN give they money and project.
The issue should stress out here that PKR if they want to Win in Sarawak should start.
1: Promise to Rayat – NCR issue – PKR start give tittle to right owner of DAYAK.
2: If JV project with land owner – Agreement to be clear.
3: Equal employment, Business, schoolship opporuntity – Not ba puak2 as what is being practices.
Right now I am still not clear if PKR become next govement of Sarawak.
But I know that BN is not doing good for Sarawak even do they have give 48 year govement Swak.
So of course we need change here. Change the BN Adminstration.
Dear All Dayaks,
Maioh chara kitai Iban tau ngetan ka tanah NCR kitai tang enti terpaksa NYERAH ka tanah NCR ke dirampas perintah, kitai tau nunda bala Kayan Kenyah di menoa Ulu Baram din.
Auk, sida di Ulu baram din nyerah ka tanah ngagai sida komponi enggau sewa siti pohon Kelapa sawit, enggau rega RM0.50 sen sebulan lalu di bayar belabo ari tarikh agreement digaga. Nyadi semua sida iya bersatu lalu madah ka tiap2 buah bilik bisi 1000 hektar lalu dalam 1 hektar bisi 248 pohon kelapa sawit ga. Tanah nya dalam agreement bisi kena 25 yahun aja lalu enti lepas 25 tahun, sawit nya pulai ka orang empu menoa nya semua. Enti kitai ngira,
1 Hektar = 248 kayu x 0.5 = RM124 sebulan.
12 bulan = 124 x 12 = RM1488 satu hektar.
1000 Hektar = (248 x 0.5 x 12 x 1000 ) = RM1,488,000
Nyadi sida tu deka ka kompni mayar sida iya dalam masa 1 taun aja ga secara beransur ansur untuk 25 tahun tu.
Nyadi kompni tu deka mayar semuanya ngagai setiap pintu sebanyak RM37,200,000 dalam satu taun. Retinya, kompni nya mayar setiap pintu setiap bulan sebanyak RM3,100,000.
Nyadi sida iya enggai masuk dalam syer 30 + 10 + 60 laban nya NGELAKAR. Nama main bakanya ngelakar? Bah, sapa kitai ari rumah panjai ulih AUDIT kompni nya? NADAI….Lalu nadai siko mega ari nembiak ba rumah panjai ulih access ngagai pentadbiran (untong/rugi) kompni nya.
Nyadi, nama kabuah sida iya deka ka kompni mayar dalam satu taun? AWAK ka enda kiroh agi NAGIH kompni nya tiap taun lalu KEMUNGKINAN BESAR dibai ngagai MAHKAMAH…
Bah, ni ko gaya kitai Iban di menoa bukai deh? Enda ka manah agi enti ngena chara sida Kayan, Kenyah tu deh??????
MESTI TU TAU DIKERUNDING KA BALA IBAN KITAI DI MENOA PESISIR DIA AUK?…
Nya aja. Trima Kasih.
Akai dai, mayuh amat kayu engkabang, kayu rian ba pelilih menua Julau nya Unggal. Kita ga kala ninga serabana menua bukai ke kala kena sawit alai semua engkabang, kayu buah baka rian, mawang, angkong nyau ambis kena balak sida kontraktor Tonguyong ke baka gengster ngenakutka urang ba rumah panjai. Nyau baka ke menua sida iya ga rumah panjai iban nya, nyau peneka gengster ka ngeral rekong sida ini char kachang, aki char kachang ke tuai nya ngena belakang duku tumpol. Suba bisi meh sida wakil kompeni matau menua nya deka meda pemanah menua alai nanam sawit. Tang ba hunding aku siku, sida nya deka nentuka berapa penyampau kayu engkabang enggau enggau kampung puang ke agi mayuh kayu balak. Dini nya ka bisi manah alai besawit menua nya ke mayuh parong ke senang alai lipan bebelat.
Aturka memanahka menua Meluan ke dipegai dek nya akih Wong Tutat! Anang megai rayat baka burong memanul tauka baka manok jagau!
Willing and able Companies are eager to develop NCR land on direct negotiation with all land owners on a win-win term. BUT the Govt agencies like PELITA and SALCRA make it mandatory for them to be the legal mediators with a 10% commission. AND they presume that the NCR land owners are all stupid,therefore they also control the 30% that belongs to the land owners. The land owners end up losing their land to these “LEGALIZED EXTORTIONIST”. Thanks to the BN govt that makes the Mafia look pale.
Ungal Bujangsinungenang,
Tekenyit endar aku maca utai ke ditulis nuan di atasnya!
1. Amat ke enda cerita sida kayan/Kenyah di menua Baram nya?
2. Kopempeni ni meh ke ‘ngemaloi’ tauka ‘ngemintar’ nya, setuju besain ke agreement baka ke disebut ba cerita di atas nya?
Kitai ke maca blog tu mesti bepikir dulu sebedau nerima ngamat ke cerita diatas nya. Kebuah pia, laban nadai kompeni ke ngaga sawit enggau cara ke betul, ulih nanam sawit lebih ari 160 pun sehektar. Nya pun ti ba tanah gambut (peat soil). Secara purata sawit ulih tanam antara 140 – 160 pun ajak dalam sehektar.
Bakani meh kompeni di menua Kayan/Kenyah nya ulih nanam sampai 248 pun/ha? Tambah mega topography dimenua Baram nya renjan?
Kompeni tu ‘Bodo dalam Pintar ka or Pintar dalam Bodo’? Kebuah piak..pedis endar kompeni tu ka untung ti amai ia munyi ke disebut di atas nya. Sapa kompeni gila ka ngaga pengawa nadai penguntung? Dijangka aku kompeni tu belagak ‘Bodo dalam Pintar’. Mesti ia bisi nyimpan niat enda manah. Agreement sidak tu mest ka doerati ke manah – manah! Kada enda menua Kayan/Kenyah ke kena menua tu agi maioh kayu ke tau dijual? Kitai sama nemu menua Baram. Enti bakanya…nyangka amai ulih ia mayar RM37juta sepintu setaun. Maioh duit tu..kaya magang sida menyadi kitai Kayan/Kenyah di Baram nya neh? Enti nya amat..manah meh nya. Kita pecaya kah?
Udah nya kitai mesti befikir berapa iti kompeni ke ‘Bodo dalam Pintar or Pintar dalam Bodo’ bakatu bisi dimenua kitai tu.
Aku…enda pecaya!
Kaban bukai…kitai ke posting utai ditu, please lah anang tak sengapa cerita. Ngemedis ke pala orang ke enda tentu nemu. Get our facts correct!
Cerita enda tentu bakatu semina ngasuh bansa kitai Dayak terus berangan-angan siang enggau malam, hari siti ngagai hari siti…sampai ninggal parai!
IS IT WHAT WE CALL DAYAK BARU…?????
Nadai ngawa ga enti ka nanam sawit nya pepisit awakka mayuh agi pun nyau baka tuat lada.
Di menoa kami bebagi pun sawit enggau kompeni 70-30
Taji Bisa ,sapa empu 70 lalu sapa empu 30 ?
Bujang Lembau,pelaba aku bala Maori maia diatu bisi kuasa atas tanah enggau kayu kampung menua sida empu.Sida agi bisi Raja Kiwi,begaji ari perintah NZ.
Tanya Mr Cobbold,iya selalu bisi nemuai ke New Zealand.
A one time prominent leader had voice his concern as to how the MOU between Sime Darby and LCDA was signed in the morning and only followed by a dialogue session with Tuai Rumahs later in the late morning and in afternoon.
That is like putiing the cart before before the horses.Could that be also what we called ABUSE?
Dear Unggal Semugah,
Tabi basa ngagai nuan Unggal.Correct me, it shud be 148 pokok per hacter. This is the true story. You may call those people from Ulu Baram.
Sida tu sepakat lalu ngambi ka semua sida nadai rugi setegal sida nemu, dalam masa 25 taun, sida nadai ulih negu tanah nya agi.
And then, one more thing is that, semua sida iya se-ati sejiwa meri semua keluasan tanah nya sama rata laban sida nemu yang sida tu TERPAKSA nyerah ka nya ngagai orang ke bekuasa ga ila. Nyadi, enggau aum ke sepakat, makai sama makai, lapar sama lapar, sida tu ulih bekering enggau pangan diri.
Unggal Semugah, KOMPONI tu enda BODOH ga…nemu nuan kayu agi besai2 di menoa ulu din? Ukai mesai pala patung nya…maioh agi ke mesai 4 ngagi 5 pemerap lalu nemu nuan berapa JUTA (KO Abau) rega kayu nya ila? Setengah rampa menoa nya aja udah ulih mulai ke rega kena mayar pampas ngagai menyadi kitai dayak Kayan/Kenyah nya din. bedau agi ari asil bukai…apooooo Unggal Semugah, enti aku nyadi komponi nya…enda ku nemu bakani ko ngulih ka kayu ke balat maioh baka nyaaaa….
Nya aja.

Indeed, in that case LCDA was clearly misrepresenting the land owner !
The pattern of land grab by coercion is the “genius” in Taib’s Konsep Baru, as reported by my contacts in the Julau case, and is also play out in the public domain:
1. First aerial survey is conducted to determine the gross acreage.
2. Then a ground survey is conducted to estimate the timber yield and to gain landscape details
3. Follow by logging operation to harvest the area of its lucrative timber resource
4. Government minister announce general intention to develop the area for oil palm plantation
5. Local syncophants types run around with name list of landowners
6. Meet the people session is organized by Pelita/LCDA, JV company and a government representative – local ADUN or Jemut Masing himself….. to FINALLY gauge the response of the NCR landowners in the “proposed” area.
7. Issue statement to the media of overwhelming positive response to the proposal even as “not a single landowner” has sign the Memorandum of Consent” yet.
8. Issue more positive news to the media of $Millions to be “invested” by the JV company in the area, with a quote by Jemut Masing of how experienced and capable the JV company is and “Best of all, each individual landowner will know the exact size and location of his or her land which will be OFFICIALLY recognised (at last !),”James Masing would say.
9. Rumour has it that many landowners could not cramp into the small townhall (109 longhouse!). Further, it was also rumour that – those who do not want to participate – has to file a report (but not clear to whose jurisdiction) requesting exemption … so much for the Memorandum of Consent and the longhouse to longhouse briefing.
If I doubt that Dr James Jemut Masing is FULLY aware of the obvious flaw in the “genius” (after all he is not a lawyer or management guru) – that the method is a well-perfected land/timber grab playbook …… then I would be insulting his intelligence.
And to think, so many continue to harbor hope of a SPDP/PRS merger as “the best that would happen for Dayak politics “!
I’m beginning to have serious doubts. What do you think ?
Sir Meramat Tajak,
First, what does your name mean? Second, I think most of your postings are very well thought.Thirdly, I really doubt if ever PRS and SPDP would merge. In heaven maybe?
If you don’t mind, my email address is a simple as neitok above at yahoodotcom. TQ.BTW, who are you?
Dear NEITOK, Meramat and the rest of my fellow frens…
Greetings.
I guess that SPDP and PRS are not going to merge and I am sure, if, only if, the Aki Uban is being called by Indai Jelu Rasung to RIP, there then PRS and SPDP were going to merge.
AND, I am sure that, if these two parties were to merge, they were going to get the divorce certificate from the rest of the RACIST Parties. UNLESS, MDC or the alike emerged, there then all the Dayaks in Malaysia shall have a “get-together” in that particular party. So, RIP to all the Sarawak based parties and AGI Idup Agi Ngelaban to the new MDC alike dayak based party…
…or else, Dayak mindsets will be enriched thru within BN …what do you think then?
Barang sapa kitai ke ka besawit, uji nanamka diri sawit baru kitai ulih ngempu syer 100%, nadai magi agai kompeni. Nama kitai nyau buruk nanamka diri? Tanah NCR, Tanah lapang mayuh amai dulu din, peneka meringga, merimba kadiri. Uji taborka leka ke babas kin. Ngah tupai pen nemu nanam sawit. Sida kompeni nya mih lintah, unggal.
