The Miri High Court has dismissed a native customary right claim by four Kuala Baram natives made against Naim Land Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sarawak Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud-linked Naim Holdings.
In a filing to Bursa Malaysia, the construction company said the High Court dismissed the writ yesterday. The writ was filed by four individuals in March 2009 over 38 acres (15.38ha) of land in the Kuala Baram Land District.
“We are delighted with the outcome of the court case and we hope that the case will deter people from pursuing this type of claim against rightful landowners,” it said.
According to Naim Holding’s quarterly report for the quarter ended Dec 31, 2012, Naim Land Sdn Bhd (formerly known as Naim Cendera Sdn Bhd) received two writ of summons and statement of claims from the persons over Lot 3247, Block 11 in the Kuala Baram Land District.
The summonses were also filed against the Superintendent of Land and Survey, Miri Division and the state government of Sarawak.
