KUCHING, Oct 15: More than 6,000 residents living in three Rajang Area Security Command (RASCOM) resettlement schemes in Ngemah are still waiting for land titles to their longhouse sites, more than 50 years after the settlements were established.

Ngemah assemblyman Anyi Jana said the land occupied by more than 60 longhouses in Nanga Jagau, Nanga Ngungun and Nanga Tada remained classified as State land.

“The residents of these three schemes, comprising more than 60 longhouses and over 6,000 people, hope that the Sarawak government can issue land titles for their longhouse sites,” he said when debating on the Supply Bill (2027) 2026, or Sarawak Budget 2027, at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUS) sitting here today.
