LUBOK ANTU: A total of 62 land titles under Section 18 of the Sarawak Land Code were handed over to the residents of Rumah David Ujan Nanga Sepaya, here.
Deputy Minister of International Trade, Industry and Investment, Datuk Dr Malcolm Mussen Lamoh who handed over the land titles said that the title is an important step in providing certainty of land rights to residents in the area.
“I am very grateful to Sarawak Public Communications Unit (UKAS) for oganising this programme which is very meaningful to the local residents, especially the recipients.

He then hoped that the organising of such progammes could also be the basis for the development and progress of the community in Lubok Antu and Sarawak as a whole.
On the same occasion, Malcolm also announced approval for this year’s allocation with a total of RM20,000 for the Village Security and Development Committee (JKKK) of Rumah David, RM20,000 to the Gerempung Indu Committee Members, another RM20,000 to the Persatuan Kebajikan Ketua Masyarakat Zon Engkari and RM150,000 for the Rural Transformation Project (RTP).
