‘Eviction notice only affects two Kudat homes'
Published on: Mon, May 26, 2025 Text Size: Amir dispelled rumours that the entire village was under threat of eviction, adding that this is not a sudden development. KUDAT: Former Kudat Member of Parliament Datuk Amir Kahar Mustapha has stepped forward to address concerns over eviction notices issued to residents of Kampung Landong Ayang, claiming that the situation has been misrepresented. In a media statement Sunday, Amir who is also a former Kota Marudu Member of Parliament said the eviction notice dated May 19, 2025, issued by the Sabah Land and Survey Department, affects only two houses in the village and not the entire community as some parties have suggested. 'The houses involved are located entirely within the gazetted area,' said Amir who is also a former Banggi Assemblyman. His statement comes amid concern among residents and social media speculation about mass displacement. He said the notice delivery process was conducted in an orderly manner with full transparency. Kudat District Chief Aliasgar Alibaba was present during the notice delivery, ensuring proper protocol was followed.

'The affected residents have been informed about the land status issue repeatedly over the past 20 years, contradicting claims that the eviction notice came without warning. 'There were no elements of coercion or shocking actions taken without prior notification,' he said, pointing out that the authorities have followed proper procedures throughout the process. The former legislator urged all parties not to be misled by irresponsible slander and false accusations circulating about the issue. He called for full cooperation with authorities to resolve the matter harmoniously and wisely. 'As a former people's representative in this area, I will always be concerned about the fate of the people, while upholding the law and the rights of legitimate authorities,' he said. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
