Abstract
Native customary land and ownership disputes among owners
Highlights
A sense of the community's pride of the native customary land ownership is increasingly threatened as a result of an existence of a continuous and unresolved land ownership issue (Zaimah et al, 2015; Selvadurai et al, 2013)
There are various challenges faced by the Bidayuh community in maintaining the ownership of their native customary land
When the conflict occurred between the landowner and the government on the issue of ownership and land recognition, the Bidayuh's community native customary land is becoming increasingly threatened when there is a 'third' party comprising the local leaders, private companies and individuals within the community itself
Summary
A sense of the community's pride of the native customary land ownership is increasingly threatened as a result of an existence of a continuous and unresolved land ownership issue (Zaimah et al, 2015; Selvadurai et al, 2013). SUHAKAM (2014) noted that the absence of recognition in the context of formal law in the ownership of native customary land among the native community has caused the social, economic, cultural and political rights of the community to be affected. This situation causes the existence of land conflicts between the native customary land community with the authorities and the private companies, especially the plantation and logging companies (Vos 2016; Colchester et al, 2008)
