Baru expressing reservation on new section 197A of the land Bill.

Ba'Kelalan State Assemblyman Baru Bian's debate speech on the Land Code (Amendment) Bill 2014 at the Sarawak State Assembly today, Nov 10, 2014 
Ø  Section 5(2) 
The proposed amendment to section 5(2) of the Land Code is the “reincarnation” of part of my private Bill, which was rejected by a vote in this august house in our last sitting in May. Nevertheless, I am happy to lend support to the amendments proposed in the present Bill before us today except a small reservation on the new section 197A, for reasons I will elaborate later.
