Masing Damn You..The JV in Pantu is Not Profitable. With the Land code Proposed Amendment Who is Going to Protect the NCR Land Owners.

To All the Three Tan Sri :Firstly Congratulations Tan Sri; Secondly  Did  the three of you Buy the Titles with Our NCR Lands. If  Not...Get them Back

 for us !...Bukittunggal.Com

Yesterday Masing proposed that the BN Backbenchers are going to propose for  the amendment  of land code in order to protect the investors in the JV. According to Masing this amendment will prevent the land owner from withdraw from the JV. Masing added this amendment is to cover the loophole as a result of the NCR court case in Pantu whereby the case was won by the land owners.

I would like to ask Masing whether he is working for the investors or for the people that voted for them. The JV in Pantu is always in the red since it was signed in  year 2004. After 7 years the landowners had never been paid with dividend. Under the JV, upon signing of the JV each landowner is supposed to be paid with RM 1200 per acre. But Kim Loong or Pelita had cheated the landowners by paying  the dividend by instalments. So far   this had been done in December and June 2011.

Under the JV, there are three ingredients which made the land owners at the losing site. They are :-

Firstly, PHSB was to receive and collect the benefits of the development of the native customary rights land into an oil palm plantation, not the landowners;

“Secondly, the commercial development of the native customary rights land into an oil palm plantation was to be carried out by a joint venture company formed by PHSB and TASB, a company exclusively chosen by PHSB under a joint-venture agreement in respect of which the landowners are not even a party to.

“Thirdly, the native customary rights lands are immediately amalgamated and title is to be issued in the name of the 'joint venture' company and the landowners would have no beneficial legal equitable or caveatable interest in the land to be issued with title.

Will Masing the Chief Land robbery, with the proposed amendment since the land owners cannot withdraw from the JV even if they knew that they are risk losing their Lands. Being one of the land owners that were cheated by PELITA to participate in Pantu JV, I warn you Masing that Land is our (Iban) Blood...We will use whatever it takes in order to take back our lands.

Another NCR Land Robbery By PELITA

Sime Derby Plantation Sdn. Bhd. is allocating RM 100million to develop the NCR lands in Julau.

With this new JV, more Ibans are going to lose their NCR Lands. Eventually their income from the rubber trees planted in the NCR lands will be shrunk. The assumption is made based on the blogger experience with the JV in Sg Tenggang.

Based on BERNAMA report published by Borneo Post , about 20 hectares of NCR land will be involved in the JV. Please read the article below on the proposed JV between Sime Derby Plantation Sdn. Bhd and the NCR Land owners from Julau. Borneo Post, Friday 10th July 2009. RM100m for NCR land Development. Sime Darby set to work on 20,000ha Julau land in oil palm joint venture deal Sime Darby Plantation Sdn Bhd is set to invest an initial RM100 million to develop oil palm plantations on Native Customary Rights (NCR) lands in Julau, about 55 kilometres from here. Its Plantation Agency and Consultation head Mohd Helmy Othman Basha said the project would cover an area of about 20,000 hectares.

“This is our first project in Sarawak and incidentally on the state’s Native Customary Rights land. “The project will be in a joint venture with landowners from 109 longhouses in three areas namely KJD/Lower Julau, Sungai Julau/Sungai Pitoh and Merurun/Meluan/Entabai,” he told reporters yesterday.

Representing the landowners at the joint venture agreement signing ceremony at a community hall here was the Land Custody and Development Authority (LCDA). Present was Land Development Minister Dato Sri Dr James Jemut Masing. Helmy said the preparatory work would begin after Sime Darby had done and submitted the Social and Environmental Impact Assessment report to the authority concerned.

“We expect to begin in a month’s time after this. However, we are very pleased that so far there have been very positive responses from the landowners concerned.

“But we will continue to explain the joint venture concept further and to more others. Let the people have very clear understanding for them to appreciate and accept, and for us to proceed smoothly,” he said.

In the joint venture, Sime Darby will hold 60 per cent equity while the landowners 30 per cent and LCDA 10 per cent. Helmy said the target was for Sime Darby to develop around 50,000 hectares in Sarawak and another 50,000 hectares in Sabah. In a speech earlier, Masing told people in the area not to doubt Sime Darby’s ability.

“We are looking at a very well established and leading multinational conglomerate which has about 100 years’ experience in developing not only oil palm but also rubber plantations in Sabah and the peninsula.

“Sime Darby too has more than 560,000 hectares under oil palm plantations in the country and in Indonesia,” he said. I am very optimistic of the success of this joint venture provided the land-owners concerned give their fullest cooperation to Sime Darby and LCDA which is looking after their rights and interests,” he added.

Masing said a representative chosen from among the landowners would be appointed to sit on the joint venture’s board of management to keep them informed on any latest developments. He said the landowners would stand to gain as through the plantation they could find jobs and business opportunities and receive dividends and bonuses when the crop is harvested.

“Best of all, each individual landowner will know the exact size and location of his or her land which will be officially recognised,” he said Mupok Aku

Iban Dayak NCR Lands Robbed By PELITA and Malay

Monday, 6th July 2009, I went to Land Custody Development Authority or abbreviated as PELITA, to accompany one of my relative to collect his Cash Incentive for his NCR Land that has been developed under JV with Tetangga Akrab Pelita Pantu Sdn. Bhd.

(Most of the NCR Lands that involve in this JV were planted with rubber plantation ....The JV cost NCR Land owners of losing few thousands RM )

The divident was part of the RM 150 per acre per year payment to all the participants as mentioned in the Agreement in which according to him had never been shown to them. The office was located on 8th floor of Satok Building. When I reached at the office, I was surprised to see despite the majority of the NCR land owners being developed by PELITA are Iban dayak, but I only saw few Iban Dayak faces inside. Majority were Malays.

( Majority of the owners of the NCR Lands being developed by PELITA are Iban dayak, but only few are employed by them...Where is 1Malaysia) Based on this observation, I concluded that 1Malaysia is not applicale here, in PELITA ? How can our NCR lands be managed properly and the NCR land owner be fairly paid if they are not managed by Iban dayak themselves? Jabu and Masing, Say something Please! Mupok aku
