He said a new PKR-led state government would see the enhancement of the role and functions of Sarawak’s Land and Survey Department to properly conduct perimeter mapping and land survey studies. He also said a Special Land Tribunal would be established immediately to arbitrate and resolve disputes over land rights and boundaries of customary land and settlement of overdue cases.
Apart from that, Sng said if Sarawak PKR was given the mandate to form the state government, it would also implement a sustainable and progressive Environment and Forestry Policy through a ‘rakyat-centred’ reforestation programme to protect the environment and economically empower local communities through international climate change carbon off setting schemes.
