The SFC reinforced the fence they erected to prevent residents from trespassing. The SFC also erected a sign in front of the erected fence stating that anyone trespassing would be prosecuted. Another notice - instructions to leave the National Park in accordance with section 34 of the National Parks and Nature Reserves ordinance 1998. This notice requires the residents of Warisam Pertanian Park to vacate their land within 14 days. The notice is dated March 15, 2024 and residents must leave their garden land on March 29, 2024. But according to Panting, the attached notice was not served on them on the date specified. It was only known a month ago. This means that the SFC is not honest or has backdated the letter. Yesterday, the residents started to set up tents and perform tilt ceremonies. It is done to ask God's protection in their efforts to demand justice on their behalf. The Malaysian Human Rights Commission SUHAKAM will visit the tent site on 11 Sept 2024 and will be joined by several NGOs from the USA. “What happened to us was an injustice. We are not trespassing. The garden we work on is a gift from the Adenan Satem Administration. The current government has increased the area of the national park to enter our land. So they are the real aggressors. This is the result of the people giving too much power to GPS, they will become arrogant” - Said TR Panting ak Baling.
