Land Code Bill short of expectations

By Simon Peter
KUCHING, Oct 30, 2014: The Land Code (Amendment) Bill 2014, to be tabled at coming Sarawak State Assembly sitting, is short of expectations of those who want to see a comprehensive and inclusive definition in the native customary rights (NCR) land.

The Bill has excluded giving definitions to "Pemakai Menoa" (territorial domain) and "Pulau Galau" (communal forest reserve) as NCR land.
