Land Tribunal and Land Foundation Key to Protecting Native Land Rights

Lipasu, in the Bingkor sub-district.  They were said to be more than 200,000 years old, older than the previous known discoveries in Mansuli, Lahad Datu, said to be some 150,000 years old.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Even the United Nations has acknowledged indigenous native rights under the United Nations Declaration of Rights of Indigenous People which has been universally adopted by many countries globally.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">It is undisputed that the natives in Sabah are losing their customary lands, much of it due to wanton and unwarranted alienation and issuance of land titles to outsiders.  These outsiders get land in the tens of thousands of acres while the land applications of natives of 10-15 acres are not processed for many, many years.   </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">It was not surprising that the previous Director of Lands and Surveys and State Attorney General had announced that native customary rights did not exist after 1930 which reflected the state of land administration to the detriment of the natives.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">As a result, the natives some of whom have been in occupation for generations are hounded out of their own lands with the aid of court orders and the presence of the police and government enforcement agencies.   </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">More often than not, the natives do not have the resources and ability, especially financially, to fight the injustice caused by the improper alienation of their lands to the outsiders.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The establishment of the SABAH LAND TRIBUNAL to look into, adjudicate and resolve the numerous land problems and disputes has been long overdue and should be a boon for the poor and long suffering native landowners.  And the proposal being repeated by the Chief Justice of Sabah and Sarawak, Tan Sri Richard Malanjun, is timely and should carry due weight and prominence.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">“I see no reason why the Sabah government cannot and should not establish the Land Tribunal unless the Sabah government leaders including from the natives communities wish to see the land rights of the indigenous natives wiped out over time” said Dr. Jeffrey.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The British not only deemed it fit to respect native customary rights to land but also made numerous provisions to protect such native rights as can be seen throughout the Land Ordinance.    The same cannot be said of the present Umno-led Barisan Nasional Sabah government.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">At the same time, a SABAH NATIVE LAND FOUNDATION should also be established to safeguard and protect native lands and the rights of the natives to their native lands.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">All unalienated State land should be declared and designated as “Native Reserves” under Section 78 of the Land Ordinance and placed under the purview of the Native Land Foundation.   Similarly, if the State governments in Malaya can designate lands to be “Malay Reserves”, there is no reason why the Sabah government cannot similarly declare unalienated State lands to be “Native Reserves” unless the leaders have ulterior motives themselves and to deprive the natives of their legitimate land rights.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The declaration of Native Reserves and the Native Land Foundation will in a way prevent the recurrence of the loss of native lands as in Malaya where native customary rights are not recognized.    Over there, the poor Orang Asli, who are the legitimate “bumiputra” indigenous natives are deprived of their lands and very often the lands grabs are by the Umno/BN politicians and their cronies.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">In addition, the 30% native requirement for commercial land alienations and plantations should be reserved for the Native Land Foundation which can also assist native landowners in times of need.   In such way, native lands will be preserved and safeguarded and will prevent the natives from being squatters on their own land which is already happening throughout Sabah.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The Sabah government should start cracking and instruct the Attorney General to draft the necessary laws for adoption at the next State Legislative Assembly sitting for the establishment of the Land Tribunal and the Native Land Foundation which is key to protecting native land rights.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div

font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">There is no dispute to investors and manufacturers alike that the cabotage policy for Sabah and Sarawak need to be abolished.   It may not solve all the problems but at least it is a start which will also reduce some of the unnecessary transhipment costs via Malaya which have contributed to higher costs of goods in Sabah.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It has to be reiterated that if the federal government wish that the cabotage policy be continued, then it should adopt the 1-Country 2-System form of administration and maintain the cabotage policy for the ports in Malaya and exclude the ports in Sabah and Sarawak. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As rightly pointed out by FSI, the removal of the cabotage policy could also lead to Sabah and Kota Kinabalu or Sepanggar Port being developed into the regional hub of the Far East.  Sadly to say, neither the federal government nor the Sabah government has done anything concrete to turn Kota Kinabalu into the regional hub.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;

Better for Oil Price to Decline to USD20 And Preserve Resources?

font-size: large;">“There are many benefits for Malaysians if the world oil price drops to USD20 per barrel” said Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, Sabah STAR Chief, agreeing with the public who have started talks that it is better for the oil price to decline to USD20 so that the oil and gas extraction from Sabah will stop and reserved for future generations.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Global oil industry players and analysts have opined that the global oil price could drop to USD20 at any time.   Even the head of the World Bank seems to think that that the world price could be as low as USD10 to USD15 per barrel.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">On the oil producers’ side, Saudi Arabia thinks that the oil price will only rise to USD70 in 2020, which is another long 5 years more.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">From midnight 31 December 2015, the government lowered the pump petrol price by 10sen to RM1.85 per litre which works out to RM294.126 per 42 gallon barrel or USD68.40 at an exchange rate of USD1 to RM4.30.   In Houston, Texas, an oil producing State in USA, the pump price is only USD1.49 to USD1.52 per gallon which works out to RM1.69 to RM1.73 per litre which is much lower than Malaysia and makes one wonder why is it so?</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">If the oil price is USD20, generally, ordinary Malaysians will benefit from such low oil price.  Obviously, pump petrol prices could drop to RM1.00 per litre and all costs related to oil will be cheaper compared to the current prices.   Transportation and costs of transport for goods and services should be the first beneficiaries of low petrol prices.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The low oil prices will also impact a host of other consumer related items and services.   This will in turn reduce costs of living which recent increases, many of which are caused by government policies and decisions, have burdened the ordinary citizens.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">However, a very important and unseen benefit will be that the low oil prices will reduce profitability and will probably cause Petronas and the federal government to stop or at least reduce the pumping of oil from Sabah and Sarawak.   Thus, the precious and depleting oil and gas resources, which was stated to run out in Sarawak in 25 years, will be left preserved for the benefit of future generations of Malaysians.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The hijacking of Sabah and Sarawak’s oil and gas resources since 1976 have seen little benefit for Sabahans and Sarawakians and have only benefited by way of much infrastructural development in Malaya.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">“The people are right in talking of preserving Sabah’s oil and gas resources for future Sabahans” emphasized Dr. Jeffrey.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">“Of course, the low oil prices will have negative implications too” added Dr. Jeffrey.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">First and foremost, Malaysia will have lower national revenues as it depends some 40% of its national income from oil and gas and related industries.    Petronas alone contributed more than RM61 billion in 2014 and about RM45 billion in 2015 due to the drop in oil prices.   </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The national budget for 2016 is based on world oil price at USD48 per barrel.  However, yesterday, the CEO of British Petroleum (BP) could hit record lows in 2016 which closed at about USD37.60 for Brent Crude on the last day of 2015.  </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The drop in national revenues will impact the government’s spending.    But on the other hand, the reduced income will hopefully see a reduction in the amount of wastages through corruption and excessive spending by the government and their political leaders.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Apart from Petronas’ reserves, very little is left for future Malaysians from the hundreds of billions, if not trillions, that have been squandered by the BN government.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In comparison, Malaysians should take note that Norway’s sovereign wealth fund has become the biggest in the world, surpassing the Middle East nations, with an estimated reserve of more than USD813 billion currently.    Norway has transformed its oil production to monetary and financial wealth held transparently and with accountability so much so that each Norwegian at birth is already a millionaire from its North Sea oil wealth, pumped out long before his or her birth.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Ordinary Malaysians have almost nothing from the nation’s oil wealth.  To top it all, Malaysia now has its national debt at its highest level, more than RM800 billion.  For Sabahans, it’s a nightmare, having produced more than 50% of Malaysia’s oil and yet the poorest in the country.  Perhaps, it is high time to ponder a change of government while hoping for further drops in world oil prices to keep their oil and gas from being further siphoned to fund Malaya’s development?</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;

font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Other notable successes arising from the Borneo Agenda advocated by UBF include the setting up of the RCI and the special committees to look into the findings of the RCI and to make recommendations for their solution.  During the year, there was also the submission of the Memorandum on the return of the 40% net revenue derived from Sabah and other financial provisions assigned to Sabah to PM Najib.  Najib has in turn agreed to set up a special committee to look into the matter and to honour the same since it is provided in the Federal Constitution.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Dr. Jeffrey recorded a special thanks and appreciation to the UBF’s dedicated BTP teams who have worked tireless the last 5 years in Sabah, Sarawak, and several cities in Malaya, to enlighten the people on the basis of the formation of Malaysia and the special rights of Sabah and Sarawak in Malaysia.   Their efforts and sacrifices, together with the unwavering support of thousands of hosts of the BTP events and UBF supporters and the countless attendees, Malaysians in Sabah and Sarawak are beginning to be inspired to reclaim the special rights and position of Sabah and Sarawak.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Despite its successes, UBF is not resting on its laurels and are pushing for further success until the equal status of Sabah, who have been clearly cheated in the formation of Malaysia and ended up as a neo-colony of Malaya, and Sabah rights and autonomy are fully restored.   Until then, UBF and its fighters will not rest.    Earlier in the year, the UBF Academy with a Resource Centre was launched to initiate the new approach together with an updated BTP module complete with a Vision and Mission for Sabah and an updated Borneo Agenda with its 7 core objectives.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;
