Only Six Orang Asli Individuals Named as Pursuing Claims in Sungai Cot Dispute

Initial discussions have revealed that only six named individuals are currently pursuing claims through the Department of Orang Asli Development (Jakoa) concerning the land dispute in Kampung Sungai Cot, Maran. This situation arose when 12 Orang Asli individuals were cultivating land based on a written claim to Jakoa, but the same land had also been approved for a company by a State Executive Council decision on November 4, 2015.
Review of Assistance Requested

The Pahang state government has announced its intention to request a review of assistance from Jakoa, the Pahang Land and Mines Office (PTG), and the Land and District Office. This review is aimed at finding a resolution to the land dispute issues affecting the Orang Asli community in Kampung Sungai Cot.
Overlapping Land Claims Identified

The core of the dispute involves overlapping claims on the land in question. While 12 Orang Asli individuals were cultivating the area based on claims submitted to Jakoa, the land's approval for a company occurred via a decision of the 32nd State Executive Council on November 4, 2015.
Ancestral Land Allegations Unverified

Claimants involved in the dispute have alleged that the land is their ancestral territory. However, these claims could not be verified by the relevant authorities based on existing records and factual evidence. Jakoa has engaged in discussions with Orang Asli representatives to address these overlapping claims.
