SABAH LAND LAWS NEEDS TO BE UP DATED, HARMONISED

February 05, 2012: Sabah Lands and Surveys Department Director Datuk Osman Jamal called for a transformation of the State's land laws.

He said the Sabah Land Ordinance 1930 has been in existence for more than 80 years albeit with some amendments since the formation of Malaysia in 1963 and needs to be improved, updated and harmonised with other legislation over land matters.

The latest was the issuance of Communal Titles which Osman touted at length as proof of the Sabah State Government's concern for Sabahan natives.

He said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman would announce in due course land to be alienated for needful graduates for entrepreneurial undertakings.
