State govt’s plan to recognise native customs lauded

KUCHING: Suhakam supports the state government’s move to look into the issue of pemakai menoa (territorial domain) and pulau galau (communal reserve) as the right step towards better recognition of native customs with regard to land.

Commissioner Francis Johen said this was consistent with Suhakam’s recommendation for due recognition to be given to native customs in Sarawak.
