Native leaders advised against granting traditional documents of origin
Write-up:
Hey there!
In the district of Keningau, Sabah, the refreshed board director, Anuar Ayub, for the Majlis Hal Ehwal Anak Negeri Sabah (Sabah Native Affairs Council) has issued a stern warning to all village heads. They must refrain from dishonestly granting the Sijil Anak Negeri (Sabah Native Certificate) for financial gain or personal glory. Remember, such acts could land you in hot water – potentially facing jail time and losing your position as a village head.
Anuar shared this advice during a recent get-together with some 40 native chief representatives and village leaders from Liawan and Sook. The event was also attended by newcomers such as the district head, OKK Majapin Dalinus, and native chiefs Yunus Dasim, Alexander Sandau, and Ujuh Iyai.
Anuar pointed out that many village heads still fail to understand their role and power, as defined by the Native Ordinance of 1952. He happily shared that thankfully, there have been no instances of misconduct in this district so far.
Now, let's dive a little deeper. To become a native of Sabah, you need to be a genuine resident, be an active member of your native community, and have at least one parent or ancestor who falls under Sabah's native classifications.
The security of native privileges is taken very seriously here. If you misuse the Sijil Anak Negeri, you could face troubles with the law. While I can't provide exact penalties, I can tell you that Sabah's legal system is pretty tough on matters related to upholding native rights. For example, a caricature of a native authority figure led to a lawsuit in the Keningau Native Court.
So folks, always remember that the Sijil Anak Negeri is more than just a piece of paper. It's a symbol of your heritage, your identity, and your rights as a native. Don't risk messing with it!
Hope that helps!
