Update from the lawyer

 
Dear Moses,
The case was originally fixed for clarification on 26th May 2008. When this date was fixed sometime in February, the Court Vacation dates were not announced. Subsequently it was found that the 26th May was during the Court vacation which was from 25th May till 6th June 2008. Consequently a new date was fixed. The new date is 7th July 2008. Further we had filed our submissions in March. The lawyer for the District Council and the State Legal adviser only sent their submissions to us about 2 weeks ago. We have to  draft a reply to the two submissions and we will file them in Court. On 7th July the Judge will ask for clarifications if he has any doubts or if there are any legal points that he wants us to clarify. There will not be a formal hearing in the sense that the parties will not be called to give oral evidence. This case is filed by way of affidavits and the evidence is adduced by way of affidavits. Further the matter will be heard in the Judge's chambers so only lawyers are allowed to be present.
 
Hope the above is sufficient.
Regards
N. Subramaniyan      16th June 2008

The three defendants are: (1) The District Council of Gua Musang, (2) The Land Administrator and (3) The Kelantan State Government. The originating summons and the affidavit in support were served on all the defendants.

The case was initially fixed for hearing on 10th. October 2007, but because of the Hari Raya Puasa, the Court postponed the case to 15th. January 2008.

Our lawyers attended Court on 15th January 2008. Only the 1st.Defendant was represented by lawyer En. Mohd Yousof. Nobody came from the State Legal Adviser's office to represent the 2nd. and 3rd. Defendants when the case was called up for hearing before the Judge.

After initial hearing of the lawyers for both parties, the Judge directed that written submission be filed. The Judge then fixed the case on 26th. May 2008 for clarification of the written submission.

Church demolished in Kelantan

This Christian church built by the Orang Asli on their own traditional land in Kg. Jias was on 4th Jun '07 demolished by the Gua Musang local authority against the Law of Malaysia (Akta Orang Asli) and the freedom of worship as guarantee by the Federal constitution. A civil action has been taken against the local authority and the Kelantan State Government.
 
 

Please note

We had built 2 brick churches in Raub, and 2 churches in Kuala Lipis both in Pahang and also on Orang Asli traditional land since 2004. The OA church in Kg. Pasu, Jerantut was demolished by the Pahang State Government in 2003 and subsequently paid compensation for its mistake. The Pahang State Government now respect the Federal Constitution and the land-rights of the Orang Asli as provided in the Laws of Malaya..

In October '07, we dedicated the Orang Asli church to the Lord. Though the Orang Asli church in Kg. Jias, Gua Musang was demolished by the Kelantan State Government, we continued to build in Pahang knowing that the State authority here will now respect the Laws and Constitution of the country.
