Mary James, comes from Kampung Mujat, Serian. She is an administrative accounts assistant who works at a private company. She is grateful towards SALCRA because the company has aided in growing the rural economy. This has benefited her family by giving them a higher source of income than what they were making in the past. Her parents had been farming paddy and pepper in Mongkos since 1992, before making the decision to join a SALCRA Scheme.
According to Mary, the existence of this scheme has lightened the financial burden on her parents. With the dividends that were paid out to them, they could afford the school fees of Mary and her four other siblings. “The SALCRA Scheme has benefited our family by improving our living standard, covered our medical fees, and allowed us to afford farming supplies.” She feels very grateful towards the SALCRA Scheme as it has permitted her to advance her studies to a tertiary level. She was able to enroll at the Perlis Matriculation College and has completed her studies last year.
“Hopefully, SALCRA can create employment opportunities for the children of SALCRA participants.” Mary also hopes that SALCRA will continue to offer the schemes for oil palm agricultural activities, and offer a higher dividend to landowners. “Hopefully, SALCRA will continue with its efforts to improve public awareness, especially to those who have a negative perception of the company. With the development schemes offered by the company, unused land can be utilised for agriculture, and rural areas will see infrastructure development, such as the construction of much-needed roads.”

As an Estate Manager, along the way I met a lot of people, I enjoyed working with the locals especially on the ground, which give me the advantage to become “Tuai Rumah” now, because they know me well. Even now when I am a longhouse chief, I voluntarily help our community to work close the estate as I have the advantage managing SALCRA estate.
As an AJPLS, there is not much different compare working with SALCRA, I am just like the assistant, I am helping the current manager. “Like last time, when the production is low, everyone will blame the manager, where as we as an AJPLS is in one team, we are to be blame as well” mentioned by Desmond.
My message to the young officer, you have to work hard and extra. “Last time when I was the Estate Supervisor, I did the Assistant Manager task, as an Assistant Manager I did the Estate Manager task, when there is opportunity, the management will recognise and promote you”.
I hope SALCRA will continue to do the best. With a lot of new technologies out there, I think SALCRA can do better, for example now their Survey Unit using Drone, lots of new machines in the market for agriculture to make things easier.

SALCRA has adopted an in-situ approach to its rural land development programme in Sarawak – the Agency brings projects to areas where communities of people already exist, instead of bringing people to projects. This way, the land development carried out by the organisation makes use of existing land that is either unused or underutilized, for the benefit of landowners or claimants, without jeopardising their rights of ownership or their claim to such land.

Projects are modelled so that SALCRA provides the funds, expertise and management for these rural transformation drives, whilst land-owners or participants contribute their land, and labour where applicable.

The State Government of Sarawak has always advocated a well-balanced urban and rural development to benefit its people. One of the Government’s most effective strategies was the thoughtful and systematic development of Native Customary Rights (NCR) land on a commercial basis, implemented through Sarawak Land Consolidation And Rehabilitation Authority (SALCRA). SALCRA functions to aid with the rural community development in Sarawak, by developing idle native lands into productive agricultural ventures, which has raised the economic status of the native communities dwelling in rural areas.
Through land rehabilitation, promotion of various agriculture development projects, and the implementation of schemes for improvement, the development projects are carried out within the boundaries of these rural communities. Members of these rural areas contribute their land, whilst SALCRA provides the expertise and funding. Today, SALCRA’s core business encompasses the management of NCR land for oil palm plantations. Since the establishment of the first oil palm estate in Lubok Antu in 1976, 19 more estates have sprung up, covering more than 51,000 hectares of land area stretching from Lundu to Bau, Serian, Sri Aman, Betong and Saratok.
By combining manual, mechanization and integration of cattle and agriculture, SALCRA has formulated systems that have maximised productivity and efficiency, greatly reducing labour dependency, creating an environmental management system that both is efficient and cost-effective.
