Perimeter surveys have halved NCR land-related complaints in S'wak, says Suhakam


SIBU: There have been fewer complaints made to the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) over native customary rights (NCR) land issues over the past three years, due in part to perimeter surveys carried out by the Sarawak government.

Suhakam assistant secretary Sophian Osman said for the past 25 years, it had received up to 50 complaints a year but this has halved in the last three years.
