<strong>Police</strong> <strong>Report</strong> by TK <strong>Pelutan</strong> <strong>Tiun</strong> (WN KP 370715135231)<br />
On 26/06/2007, at or about 11.00am, I was resting at the house Lot 208 Kampong<br />
Narum, Marudi as I was sick and feeling weak. 2 persons, Paterus Raja who is the<br />
manager of the Marudi Community Hall and the <strong>Sarawak</strong> Administrative Officer<br />
(SAO) Langan Anak Ratin from the Marudi District Office came to visit me at the<br />
house. Paterus spoke in Kelabit language to my daughter-in-law Christina Alau<br />
Uning.<br />
Paterus repeatedly said that he and the SAO sympathize with my poor health and the<br />
bad situation I am in and said that they came to help me. They reminded me that I had<br />
with TK Bilong Oyau, TK Kelasau Na’an and TK Jawa Nyipa filed a court case<br />
against the company Samling and the State Government of <strong>Sarawak</strong>. They said that<br />
when the case proceeds to trial, my poor health will prevent me from attending to the<br />
court proceedings. They pointed out that the Judge will then issue a warrant to arrest<br />
me and bring me to court.<br />
Paterus Raja explained to me that he and SAO Langan Anak Ratin will be able to help<br />
me removing my name from the case. He threatened that if I lose the court case, the<br />
government will cease paying me the allowance of RM450.00 per month. They said<br />
that I will suffer great losses if my monthly allowance is stopped.<br />
Paterus Raja then informed me that he and SAO Langan Anak Ratin have already<br />
appointed a lawyer to assist me. Paterus Raja also informed me that SAO Langan<br />
Anak Ratin had paid RM1,750.00 to the lawyer. He showed me some documents but I<br />
do not understand the content as I was not given copied of them and neither were the<br />
content read or explained to me.<br />
Then Paterus Raja instructed SAO Langan Anak Ratin who then held my hand and<br />
make me thumb-print all the documents, without my consent. After that, they left the<br />
house. But Paterus returned later and held my hand to thumb-print another 3<br />
documents which he said were left out earlier.<br />
As I felt very uneasy with what Paterus Raja and SAO Langan Anak Ratin had done, I<br />
quickly instructed that the matter be brought to the immediate attention of TK Bilong<br />
Oyau and TK Kelasau Na’an and requested that they come to see me in Marudi.<br />
Not long after that, TK Bilong Oyau and TK Kelasau Na’an came to meet me at the<br />
general hospital in Marudi. I was then warded as my health condition had deteriorated.<br />
I told them what had happened and I requested that TK Bilong Oyau and TK Kelasau<br />
Na’an lodged a police report about the incident on my behalf as I was unable to get

out from the bed.<br />
TK Bilong Oyau and TK Kelasau Na’an immediately went to the Marudi police<br />
station to lodge the report and asked for police investigation as we were worried that<br />
what had happened may affect the case we had filed in the High Court in Miri (Case<br />
No: 22-46-98 (MR). After TK Bilong Oyau and TK Kelasau Na’an had lodged the<br />
police report, they gave me a copy of that <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Report</strong> No. MDI/RPT/442/07.<br />
I was informed by my lawyer Mr Baru Bian that a lawyer from Khoo & Company<br />
Advocates & Solicitors in Miri had written to him a letter saying that Khoo &<br />
Company Advocates & Solicitors in Miri is now my lawyer and that they had filed a<br />
notice of lawyer in the Miri High Court and the Court of Appeal.<br />
I have never met any lawyer or staff of Khoo & Company Advocates & Solicitors in<br />
Miri who claimed to be representing me or act on my behalf.<br />
I suspect that all the documents that Paterus Raja and SAO Langan Anak Ratin had<br />
forced me to thumb-print are connected with what Khoo & Company Advocates &<br />
Solicitors in Miri had said, that I had engaged them to act on my behalf.<br />
I have been cheated and this had affected me from taking and continuing the actions<br />
to defend our native customary rights (NCR) over our land in Sungai Selaan and<br />
Sungai Linau which is the domain of our Penan people. I lodge this report in order<br />
that the police will investigate into this matter.<br />
