TASIK Biru State Assemblyman, Dato Henry Harry Jinep yesterday called on the government to return the “Pimuung land” to the Singai people in Bau.
He told a press conference after his debate speech in the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) on Monday: “The Pimuung land had been settled and cultivated by our forefathers and blood had been shed to protect the land long ago by our ancestors,
“Because it was occupied and cultivated a long time ago, anyone seeing it today will instantly think the jungles there are virgin jungles,” he said.
“They would think that the land under the canopy had never been occupied by humans before. In actual fact, under this tall canopy is our “Primuung land”,” he said.
