DAP SRI AMAN

Press Release

DAP Sri Aman today was visited by folks from Seduku, Lingga.

They approached Mr Leon Donald and complained about their land pitifully compensated by the Government. Their land is in Pulau Seduku, Lingga which is being changed into a National Park. 

Puan Johrah binti Abu Bakar and Mr Pon bin Bakar, the owners of the land who holds the land in trust for his siblings said his 5acre land has been passed on thru generations from their forefathers amd they were gracious enough to allow many settlers to make their houses on their land.

Now when the Government compensated them, the house owners(Squatters) got more than 50K each as compensation however the landowner Mr Pon was only given 7k.

This has led to the unhappiness of Mr Pon and his brothers because it is clearly unfair from their perspective that their land be compensated a mere 7K only thus forcing them to seek help from the DAP Sri Aman. They have made 2 police reports to seek the police's help in investigating the case.

'I will write to the Superintendent of Land & Survey Sri Aman to ask on the reason for the meagre compensation to Mr Pon's family. I will also seek to know on behalf of their family on how did the office arrive to such a measly sum for 5 acres of land', asserted Leon Donald DAP Sarawak Vice Chairman.
