Chapter 1 – Report of the Policy, Law and Complaints Group (iii) In view of the difference between the concepts of communal titles of indigenous peoples in the Peninsula and of the natives of Sabah and Sarawak, there is a need to use different terminology for indigenous peoples in the Peninsula and natives of Sabah and Sarawak. It was further suggested that the issue of communal grants be detailed in the report of the Special Task Force to avoid any confusion. On 3 June, YB Senator Datuk Paul Low Seng Kuan, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, announced the formation of a Cabinet Committee on Native Land Rights to address, monitor, and implement the findings of the Special Task Force’s report which will be headed by then Deputy Prime Minister YAB Tan Sri Dato’ Hj Muhyiddin Hj Mohd Yassin. The Cabinet Committee would also play the role of an independent National Commission, in line with one of the 18 recommendations made by the Commission in the NI report. However, due to the Cabinet reshuffle on 28 July, the Commission was informed that the convening of this Cabinet Committee had been delayed. The Commission, in pursuing this agenda, urges the Government to expedite the implementation of its recommendations in the NI report. Nevertheless, in view of the lack of information on the establishment and progress of the Cabinet Committee on native land rights, the Commission agrees that in the interim, NI issues will be raised together with other indigenous people’s complaints during discussions with the relevant State Governments. The Commission, in its Work Plan for 2016, will proceed with its follow-up activities to monitor the implementation of the recommendations by the relevant Government agencies. 4. NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS ACTION PLAN Since the Government’s announcement of the development of the nation’s first ever National Human Rights Action Plan (NHRAP) in 2010, the Commission has been consistent in supporting and pushing for the expedition of its completion. In 2015, the Commission, as one of the members of the Steering Committee, submitted a proposal paper mapping out the core thrusts of the NHRAP with the accepted Second UPR recommendations to YB Puan Hajah Nancy Shukri, the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department in charge of the NHRAP and YB Senator Datuk Paul Low Seng Kuan, the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department in charge of human rights. The Commission has always recommended that the Government prioritise the implementation of UPR recommendations and accession to human rights treaties, and incorporate them into the NHRAP. Hence, the proposal paper was prepared with the purpose of outlining the recommendations adopted by the Government during the Second UPR process and mapping them with the core thrusts of the proposed NHRAP, which had been agreed upon by the Steering Committee. 43 BOOK-ANR2016-01-latest.indb 43 08/04/2016 3:32 PM
