Budget 2017: RM30mil for NCR land survey good for landowners, says Masing


Let us demand for our rights as Sarawakian assemblymen rather than with a peninsula-based opposition party. - Tan Sri James Masing

KUCHING: Parti Rakyat Sarawak welcomed the RM30mil allocation in Budget 2017 to carry out native customary rights (NCR) land surveys.

PRS president Tan Sri James Masing, however, said an allocation should be given to the state soonest to enable the government to realise its "Go Rural" battle cry aimed at improving infrastructure amenities and economic development in rural areas.
