Visits were organised to two Community Learning Centres, the Central Prison of Kota Kinabalu and the Women’s Prison Institution in Kepayan. Courtesy calls were paid on the Kota Kinabalu OCPD, the Mayor of Kota Kinabalu City Hall, and the Head Registrar of the Syariah Court in Sabah. REPORT OF THE SARAWAK OFFICE Apart from investigating complaints, the Commission’s office in Sarawak conducted a Roundtable Discussion on the rights of persons with disabilities, organised five talks on human rights with the assistance of other agencies, and facilitated the public hearings held in Sarawak for the National Inquiry into the Land Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Malaysia. Consultative meetings on the UPR were held with government agencies and NGOs. REPORT OF THE NATIONAL INQUIRY INTO THE LAND RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IN MALAYSIA Following the meetings and public consultations held in 2011, the Commission held public hearings in Sarawak (27 February - 14 March), Peninsular Malaysia (27 March - 16 May) and Sabah (4-16 June) involving relevant government agencies, affected indigenous communities, individuals and experts, who testified before the Panel of Inquiry and tendered evidence. Several core human rights issues were identified during the consultation process. These were categorised as absence of recognition of Indigenous Peoples’ concept of Native Customary Rights to land; administrative processes; impact of plantation schemes and commercial development projects; inclusion of native customary land in logging and forest reserves, and in state and protected areas; and inadequate compensation for the loss of Indigenous Peoples’ land, territories and crops. 10
