This issue is about customary land owners doing best to look at supplementing (rather than abolishing) their subsistence practices and maintaining (rather than alienating) their customary lands. (* Dr Tim Anderson).

Nor is this about losing a small amount of land in exchange for development, this is about land owners relinquishing large amounts of land for development, in the way of purchase or long term lease by groups of people from countries such as China, Malaysia, as you have mention, so that these private company can have access to the land for commercial interests for very little money in return to the land owners.

cheers
