KAPIT (June 10): The chieftain of a 45-unit longhouse at Nanga Ensilai, on the west bank of Rajang River opposite this town, is thankful for surveying works undertaken by the state government to ensure ownership of individual Native Customary Rights (NCR) land lots.
According to Tuai Rumah Jambon Andas, the Land and Survey Department is set to kick off Phase II perimeter survey under Section 18 of the Sarawak Land Code, meant for the individual landowners.
'Phase I survey under Section 6 of the Code was completed in 2020, meant for the communal land titles.
'On behalf of my longhouse folks, we are very happy that Land and Survey Department has commenced the Phase II surveying.
'The surveyors have been on the ground since April.
'On our part, we make sure that the NCR land claimants from Nanga Ensilai are fully cooperating with the surveyors and working closely with them in identifying the land boundaries.
'This is meant to help smoothen and expedite the surveying works. For this, I also wish to thank the individual landowners for such a solid cooperation,' said Jambon when met here recently.
The longhouse chieftain also expressed gratitude to Works Minister and Kapit MP Dato Sri Alexander Nanta Linggi, and Deputy Minister in Sarawak Premier's Department (Native Customs and Laws) and Bukit Goram assemblyman Datuk Jefferson Jamit Unyat, for their strong support in facilitating the NCR land perimeter survey over Nanga Ensilai.
