Resumen

This Act, consisting of three Parts, applies to Native customary rights of Sarawak. It specifies the following Land classification as follows: i. Interior Area Land is land not falling within other classifications and which is not a Government Reserve; ii. Native Customary Land that comprises land over which natives are entitled to exercise customary rights (any area of State Land can be declared a Native Communal Reserve for the use of the native community) and Interior Area Land over which a native has been permitted to acquire customary rights with the permission of the District Officer; iii. Mixed Zone Land that is land which is such by virtue of prior law or which becomes such by a declaration by the Minister under the Code. Only a native of Sarawak can acquire the privileges or rights under the Native Area Land, Native Customary Land or Interior Land.
