Plantation company Ladang Sawit Bintulu ordered to return an area which is NCR (native customary rights) land to a group of Iban longhouse folks in Bintulu.
The piece of land was wrongly awarded to the company by the Sarawak govt.
Judge David Wong ordered the company to leave the disputed area and return it to the Ibans.
The Ibans led by Tuai Rumah Agi Bungkong had filed the suit in 2001 against Ladang Sawit Bintulu, 4 others and the Sarawak state govt.
Counsel Baru Bian is delighted that there are judges who appreciate and understand native customary rights law.
