Wisma SALCRA, Samarahan

Wisma SALCRA, the latest landmark in the District of Samarahan. Wisma SALCRA cost about RM63.1 million.



SALCRA or Sarawak Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation Authority was formed in 1976 to enable and assist the State Government in achieving the objectives of the New Economic Policy (NEP), particularly concerning the eradication of poverty. SALCRA's function, thus is to develop and manage native lands and Mixed Zone Land for Oil Palm and Tea Estates based on “in-situ” concept.

The Wisma SALCRA building does pose one question: Is it a PRIORITY to build the so-called WISMA SALCRA which cost MILLIONS where as the MONIES should be given to the land owners.
