Ranau villagers still hopeful of regaining land
Ranau September 08, 2011: The people of Kampung Luanti Baru are still harbouring hope of getting back their land despite "losing" it to a second party which had been given the approval for its land application submitted later than theirs about 10 years ago.
Village Chief, Rosliah Manjangki, said they could only watch in tears when the second party, which acquired ownership of the 250 hectares that they had toiled on and cultivated with plantations since the 1980s, chopped down the trees.
"We felt as though we are being neglected. It has been 10 years since we submitted our land application, but it seems that nobody bothers,"
she said.
Daily Express had previously highlighted the villagers' plight when they claimed that the land that they had been applying for was "grabbed" by a second party.
Rosliah said they tried to get in touch with the Land and Survey Department but were shocked when told by a department worker that the land title printing machine was out of order and, therefore, the department could not issue the land title to them.
"It was really illogical the second party only needed about three months to get the land title issued," she said, adding that it was a different story for the kampung folks who had to go up and down countless times to deal with the department.
According to Rosliah, they recently checked on the latest development pertaining to their land with the relevant authorities in the district, but it was confusing since they were told that the file containing the villagers' documents could not be found.
Now they planned to refer the matter to the Land and Survey Department headquarters in Kota Kinabalu to get detailed explanation as well as seeking assistance from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to investigate the matter.
The villagers also appealed to the department and elected representatives in the area to assist them end the predicament.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson of the District Assistant Collector of Land Revenue, when met, said they had already conducted a probe and a full report on the Kampung Luanti Baru folks had been submitted to the headquarters.
The spokesperson also advised the villagers to continue making follow-ups about their application at the department headquarters in the State Capital.

begitu mudah hak2 penduduk ke atas tanah diabaikan sedangkan mereka sudah lama mengusahakan tanah tersebut dan sudah 10 tahun memohon geran tanah. pasti berlakunya penyelewengan/rasuah dalam Jabatan Tanah dan Ukur. diharap perkara ini disiasat.
BalasPadamsemoga penduduk Kampung Luanti Baru mendapat kembali apa yang sepatutnya menjadi milik mereka.
BalasPadamapa yang sepatutnya menjadi hak penduduk harus dipertahankan.
BalasPadamperkara ini harus disiasat oleh pihak berwajib..
BalasPadamHope the villagers will get their land back, the land belongs to them.
BalasPadamhope they will not give up on this matter, continue to stay strong.
BalasPadamthe second party shouldn't snatch people's land, it's actually against the law.
BalasPadaminvestigations should be made upon this matter seriously.
BalasPadamsome friends of mine sold their land before this matter arises, it's a good thing they did that or else their land might be in other people's hands.
BalasPadam"Rosliah said they tried to get in touch with the Land and Survey Department but were shocked when told by a department worker that the land title printing machine was out of order and, therefore, the department could not issue the land title to them."
BalasPadamThe reason seems doesn't really make sense and push all to "machine breakdown"..
Adakah ini satu sindiket penipuan sebenarnya? Harap pihak berkuasa tampil diri untuk menyiasat kebenaran masalah tersebut.
BalasPadam"It was really illogical the second party only needed about three months to get the land title issued,"
BalasPadamWho is the real tiger behind the mirror?
Harap pihak kerajaan mengambil perhatian ke atas masalah sebegini, ramai penduduk and pemilik tanah terjatuh dalam sindiket sebegini, apakah masalah sebenarnya? Hak pemilik tidak terjamin langsung.
BalasPadamMasalah perlu disiasat, tanah perlu dipulang kepada pemilik yang sebenar.
BalasPadamMemang jabatan tanah ini bikin panas. Saya sendiri pun sudah rasa. Biarpun takda kena tanah rampas tapi utk berurusan dengan jabatan tanah mmg pengalaman yang palking teruk dalam hidup:(
BalasPadamK/kala saya hairan juga, memang polisi jabatan ini yang teruk atau manusia yang kerja di jabatan tu yang super duper paloi... Bukan apa bikin panas la cara pengurusan dorang!
BalasPadamSemoga hal ini disiasat semula dan pastikan nasib penduduk terbela.
BalasPadamKesiannya penduduk ni. Bagaimana juga hal ini boleh berlaku. Inilah namanya kaya terus kaya, miskin tambahlah susah. uhuhu
BalasPadamPastikan tanah itu jadi milik pihak yang sepatutnya:)
BalasPadamSaya berharap ada pihak yang lantang bersuara untuk mempertahankan hak mereka.
BalasPadamTapi perkara ini mesti disiasat terlebih dahulu untuk memastikan bahawa tanah itu sah kepunyaan penduduk kampung.
BalasPadamharap pekara ini akan diselesaikan dengan baik dan kepentingan penduduk akan dijaga dengan sebaiknya.
BalasPadamPihak berkuasa perlu mengambil langkah menyiasat supaya kepentingan dan hak penduduk dipertahankan.
BalasPadam"Rosliah said they tried to get in touch with the Land and Survey Department but were shocked when told by a department worker that the land title printing machine was out of order and, therefore, the department could not issue the land title to them."
BalasPadamIni merupakan sikap dan perangai yang tidak bertanggung jawab. Seharus mencari jalan alternatif untuk selesaikan "land title" tersebut.
Pemilik dinasihati mengikuti perkembangan (follow-up) terutama berurusan berkait dengan hal tanah. Banyak kes berlaku kebelakangan ni mengesahkan sindiket penipuan dan titukar milik tanpa dikesan.
BalasPadamKami perlukan undang-undang dan polici-polici yang betul-betul mempertahankan hak milik kita sendiri.
BalasPadambetul kata harapan, perlu disiasat untuk memastikan tanah tersebut dimiliki sah oleh para penduduk.
BalasPadambetul kata harapan, perlu disiasat untuk memastikan tanah tersebut dimiliki sah oleh para penduduk.
BalasPadamThe land problem in rural Sabah still do not have the solution. Hope govt should give attention with people land problem.
BalasPadammasalah ini bukan disebabkan oleh kerajaan secara keseluruhan atau pemimpin2 politik, tetapi disebabkan oleh jabatan tanah itu sendiri.. bagi saya penyelesaian yang paling berkesan dan tepat ialah membersihkan jabatan tanah dengan menamatkan perkhidmatan para pegawai dan pengarahnya serta merta.. selagi mereka2 ini mengetuai jabatan tanah, selagi itu rampasan tanah ini tetap akan berlaku..
BalasPadamantara semua negeri di Malaysia, Sabah adalah antara negeri yang paling banyak berlakunya kes rampasan tanah.. oleh sebab itu, pemimpin2 tertinggi kerajaan perlu mengambil berat perkara ini dan melakukan sesuatu bag menyelesaikan masalah ini..
BalasPadamberapa jumlah pnduduk kg luanti ni skrg?
