Despite the success, it may be still a long way to go for Sarawak Plantation as it has so far recovered merely one-quarter of the planted areas under dispute with the villagers. There are still a further 6,400ha in the Mukah 1 and Mukah 3 encumbered estates to be taken back, according to executive director Datuk Wong Kuo Hea (pic).

The company retakes control of these areas after it successfully negotiated win-win deals with local villagers, who disputed the land, via mutual agreements.
