Dayaks can inherit shotguns

KUCHING: Deputy Minister Datuk Jefferson Jamit clarified that shotguns owned by Sarawak’s Dayak community can only be passed down from parents to their children, a regulation enacted by the Sarawak government due to concerns regarding public safety.

This provision, he said, aligns with local customs and needs but is also subject to the condition that it is re-registered and the applicant passes a health and safety screening.
