Kaum Sungai People ‘Treated like Dogs’
Kaum Sungai, a native Sabahan race living in Kampung Sukau, Kinabatangan, has been treated like dogs by politics. Why I said politics instead of the name/group of people? Read on.
Kaum Sungai People ‘Treated like Dogs’ Story
Zulmat bin Dullamit, one of the residences at Kampung Sukau said that they had been treated like dogs and was forced to leave their homes in 2008. They also had been threatened by all means, houses been torn down, gangsters were sent and even a bulldozer! Omg.
All these were done by a company called Campo Sdn Bhd. The company only gave them RM5,000 as compensation for taking their land and of course, the people didn’t agree to it. Kampung Sukau is their only place in the world where they can earn a living – have a life where it has always been.
All these while Zulmat said that they thought that the government could help them, more importantly, their Wakil Rakyat, Saddi Abdul Rahman but he was reported to be a ‘teruk‘ one and irresponsible.
Unbelievable.
Katif bin Kussoi, one of the residents, said that the people won’t budge. They won’t give up their rights and I believe that’s what they should do. Must do.
This was posted last year October 2011, I wonder what happened to them now?

Sadly, this has been happening everywhere in Sabah. Many Sabahans apply for a land and get no news for years, but big company from West Malaysia can get “immediate” approval and take away their lands..
Greedy west Malaysians are stealing from us right under our noses, stupid immature Sabahans loves bribery and the worst thing is our own people aren’t as complicated-minded nor sneaky minded as those sneaky ones. Urgh. Frustrating.
