KUCHING, April 23: A long-standing administrative issue involving a Temporary Occupation License (TOL) for family land at the Stampin Resettlement Scheme here has finally been resolved, bringing legal clarity to a local family after nearly two decades.
According to a press release, the TOL had remained under the name of the late mother of 74-year-old Chua and his two brothers, who passed away in 1996. The outdated documentation created legal uncertainties for the third brother, who has been residing on the land for years.
Recognising the urgency of the matter, Kota Sentosa assemblyman Wilfred Yap engaged with the superintendent of the Land and Survey Department, Awang Nazri Awang Saperi, to expedite a solution.
“Today, Yap, together with Kapitan Chai Yong Liang, personally attended a meeting with the Land and Survey Department superintendent and the three brothers to finalise arrangements for transferring the TOL to the third brother’s three sons — ensuring legal clarity and continuity for the family.
“Yap expressed hope that the long-standing bureaucratic issue, which has persisted for nearly two decades, can finally be resolved, thereby alleviating stress for the elderly siblings,” the release stated.
Yap went on to say that no issue is too small when it impacts the lives of the residents.
“Chua and his family deserved a swift and fair resolution, and Yap expressed gratitude to the Land and Survey Department for their cooperation.
“This case underscores the importance of proactive governance — meeting constituents where they are and working collaboratively to resolve issues.”
Yap, known for his hands-on approach and community engagement, reaffirmed that his service centre remains open to all constituents facing government-related challenges.
“Whether it’s a land licence, housing concern, or other issues, we are here to help navigate bureaucracy and deliver results,” the release stated, adding that bridging the gap between the public and government agencies is essential to building trust and ensuring effective public service delivery. — DayakDaily
