On the 10th of April,2023 I joined a delegation from Bintulu to pay a courtesy call to the Premier at his office at Wisma Bapa Malaysia, Petra Jaya. The purpose of the meeting was to brief the Premier on the many problems faced the people of Jepak regarding ownership of their customary land at Jepak. This is the first time that our Jawatankuasa Tindakan Tuntutan Tanah EX-SGOS. This committee is composed of the follwing:
1) Temenggong Haji Rosli Bin Kamarudin - Chairman
2) Pemanca Hj. Awg Merais Hj. Awang Ismail - Member
3) Datuk Haji Abdul Kadier Sahib - Member
4) Datuk Hj. Haidar Khan Bin Asghar Khan - Member
5) Mahmud Yussop - Member
6) Hj. Othman Bin Mat - Member/ Secretary
The advisor to the committee is YB Datuk Haji Talip Zulpilip.
The above meeting is the climax of many previous meetings with various parties in Bintulu on the land issues at Jepak. This is the first time the resolutions and declaration by the interested groups reached the Premier's table in Kuching. The meeting took about an hour and many matters were raised directly to the attention of the Premier. There was a WOW factor felt as we leave his office mainly due to his committment to solve the issues raised with the Land and Survey Department and many other positive vibes gathered during the discussion. The Premier is sympathetic with the plight and predicament of the people of Jepak specifically and masyarakat Vaie generally.
