KOTA KINABALU: Over 100 villagers held a peaceful gathering in Sabah’s interior Keningau district, demanding the state government resolve the issuance of individual titles for their native ancestral lands on Wednesday (May 17).
Dressed in native attire, the group of people from five villages from neighbouring Nabawan district marched towards the district Lands and Survey Department office at about 9am, to the accompaniment of traditional music, carrying placards and banners expressing their grouses.
A non-governmental organisation , which also joined the villagers in the assembly, wanted the department to explain why the communal titles were not changed to native titles, as pledged by the government previously.
