KOTA KINABALU: After decades of uncertainty, five out of six villages in Pintasan have finally secured legal ownership of their land, marking a significant victory for local residents.
Pintasan assemblyman Datuk Fairuz Renndan said the issue began when land, originally designated as reserved areas for grazing fields and bird sanctuaries, was allocated to three external companies instead of the villagers who had lived there for over 40 years.
