KOTA KINABALU: The State Government has stepped in to address a long-standing land dispute involving 300 villagers in Kg Jimpangah, Beaufort, who have lived on a 13.2-acre CL-status land for about 70 years. The land, sold to a company in 2005, includes 53 homes and public facilities. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor instructed the Land and Survey Department on May 16 to find a solution. This follows an appeal from Kg Jimpangah Action Committee Chairman, Rynnalto Elsther, who said the department requested a postponement of the High Court-issued eviction, scheduled for May 21. However, the landowner has yet to respond and appears determined to proceed with the eviction. Villagers are urging for a delay to allow the State to resolve the dispute.
