KUCHING: The long-awaited amendments to the state Land Code relating to “pemakai menoa” (territorial domain) and “pulau galau” (communal forest reserve) are expected to be ready for tabling in next May’s state assembly sitting, Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas said.

He said the government was actively studying amendments to the Land Code and was committed to resolving all issues related to native customary rights (NCR) by tabling its own Bill to amend the Code.
