A land-title presentation in Spaoh has formalised ownership for 350 Bukit Saban residents under Section 18 of the Sarawak Land Code.
The titles were handed over at Dewan Masyarakat Spaoh on Thursday, Oct 29, according to a Borneo Post report citing the Sarawak Public Communications Unit. The constituency covered is Bukit Saban; the community hall was the presentation venue, not the location of every titled plot.
Betong’s Land and Survey Division said 488 individual lots covering about 929.7 hectares had been surveyed across six areas in the constituency. These included Ulu Bayor Rimbas, Ulu Rimbas Asal and Baru, Inar, Ulu Paku, Kampung Hulu Spaoh and a separate Ulu Paku area under the Jubilee Occupations Ticket pilot.
The figures describe different things: 350 residents receiving titles and 488 surveyed lots. They should not be read as 488 recipients or as proof that every surveyed lot was titled in this ceremony.
The division also outlined hand-held GPS surveying and Jubilee Occupations Ticket pilot work to extend surveying and title issuance. Those pilot statistics are separate progress measures, not extra recipients to add to the ceremony’s total. For landholders, the useful distinction is between a plot being surveyed and a title actually being issued.
