KUCHING: A Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu leader claims that Sarawak’s right to its ports are connected to its land rights.
He said the federal government’s rights over ports were those that covered the land of any state declared and gazetted to be federal land for that purpose. Such declaration, he added, could only be obtained by it through a process stated in the Sarawak Land Code. Although land in the state was constitutionally held in accordance with state law, Idris said he was unsure if “due process” had been done for Bintulu Port.
“The state government is looking at our constitutional rights over state assets which the federal government has been administering over the years,” he said.
