[BERITA UTAMA]
Hellen melaporkan bahawa kaum penan di Ba Abang telah mendirikan blockade pada 31 jan 2023 yang lalu, bagi menghalang syarikat pembalakan GT Interhill daripada terus membalak dalam Kawasan tanah kaum penan Ba Abang. Namun selang sehari kemudian General Manager (GM) GT Interhill datang membuka blockade yang didirikan. GM GT Interhill memberitahu kaum penan bahawa YB Dennis Ngau yang mengarahkan supaya blockade itu dirobohkan. Tidak puas hati. Patricia dan rakan-rakan membuat laporan Polis di Miri, Sarawak.
Bagaimana GT Interhill boleh memasuki tanah kaum Penan?. Ia bermula pada tahun 2020 apabila berlakunya krisis perlantikan Ketua Kampung. Orang Penan Ba Abang mahukan Panai Erang memimpin kaum Penan Ba Abang. Tetapi Arun Nyaling dilantik dengan disokong oleh YB Dennis Ngau. Setelah ada kuasa Arun Nyaling membenarkan syarikat GT Interhill membalak dalam Kawasan tanah komunal kaum penan.Kaum penan ditekan dengan pelbagai cara . Mereka meminta bantuan daripada Tetuan Roland Engan untuk membantu menyelesaikan masalah mereka ini. Mereka juga memohon orang ramai membantu mereka di tapak blockade. Bagi sesiapa yang ingin ke tapak blockade Ba Abang boleh menghubungi Patricia Helen di 011-25056068.
Hellen berharap supaya pencerobohan ke atas hutan dan tanah kaum penan dihentikan. Ketua kaum yang disokong majoriti penduduk kampung dilantik tanpa campur tangan politik dan berharap kemajuan/ kemudahan asas dapat sampai ke kampung mereka di Ba Abang.
[TOP STORY]
Hellen reported that the Penan people in Ba Abang had set up a blockade on 31 Jan 2023, to prevent the GT Interhill logging company from continuing to log in the Ba Abang Penan land area. But a day later the General Manager (GM) of GT Interhill came to open the blockade that had been set up. GM GT Interhill told the Penans that YB Dennis Ngau ordered that the blockade be demolished. Not satisfied. Patricia and friends made a police report in Miri, Sarawak.
How can GT Interhill enter the land of the Penan people?. It started in 2020 when there was a crisis in the appointment of the Village Head. Ba Abang Penan people want Panai Erang to lead the Ba Abang Penan people. But Arun Nyaling was appointed with the support of YB Dennis Ngau. After Arun Nyaling's authority allowed the GT Interhill company to log in the communal land area of the Penan people. The Penan people were pressured in various ways. They asked for help from Mr. Roland Engan to help solve their problems. They are also asking the public to help them at the blockade site. Anyone who wants to go to the Ba Abang blockade site can contact Patricia Helen at 011-25056068.
Hellen hopes that the encroachment on the Penan people's forest and land will be stopped. The tribal leader who is supported by the majority of the villagers is appointed without political interference and hopes that progress/ basic facilities can reach their village in Ba Abang.
