SIPITANG: The Sabah government has issued communal grants for 1,133ha of land to 191 household heads in Kampung Iburu in this district.

Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman said the grants were issued to residents who did not own land in the area.

"We want people to have their own land for cultivation.

"As such, I would like to remind the people who received the grants not to sell the land but to pass it on to their children," he said at the communal grant presentation ceremony here.

Also present were deputy chief ministers Datuk Seri Yahya Hussin and Datuk Seri Raymond Tan Shu Kiah. – Bernama
