Long Teran Kanan folk in Tinjar protest against dismissal of appeal to Federal Court

MIRI: About 100 natives of Long Teran Kanan in Tinjar gathered at IOI Pelita Plantation Sdn Bhd’s estate to protest against a recent Federal Court’s dismissal of an application to appeal against a decision of the Court of Appeal (CA).

The decision, which dismissed the appeal by one Lah Anyie and three others, held that the natives have no native customary rights (NCR) over two provisional land leases issued to IOI Pelita for the development of an oil palm plantation.
