Sandakan High Court Judicial Commissioner Bexter Agas Micheal on Monday (Oct 22) granted an interim injunction to the two smallholders preventing state-owned Borneo Samudera Sdn Bhd (BSSB) and Bagahak Plantations Sdn Bhd (BPSB) from entering into any settlement that included transferring the Bagahak land to a Kuala Lumpur-based firm.
