SAPP: Revert to original 999-year lease tenure now

By Datuk Liew Teck Chan

KOTA KINABALU, Oct 11, 2011 - Referring to the requests by the Sabah Housing and Real Estate Developers Association to the Sabah State Government to revert the land leases for country leases and town leases to the original 999 tenure, actually, in fact the government can approve land leases for a term of 999 year, especially if the original master title of the land already has a tenure of 999 years. This has been done before without any need for changes to the law. There is no need for any delay because it is only a matter whether the government wants to honour the 999 tenure or not.

Isu Tanah agenda utama SAPP

Kota Marudu: Parti Maju Sabah (SAPP) akan melaksanakan reformasi tanah apabila mengambil alih pentadbiran Kerajaan Negeri Sabah selepas memenangi pilihanraya umum kali ke-13 akan datang.

Presiden SAPP Datuk Seri Panglima Yong Teck Lee berkata, melalui reformasi itu, tanah pertanian hanya diberikan kepada penduduk tempatan saja dan tidak akan dipajakkan lagi kepada syarikat swasta terutamanya dari Semenanjung.

Katanya, pajakan tanah sesebuah syarikat swasta itu tidak akan disambung apabila tamat manakala tanah itu akan diberi kepada rakyat.

Kg Tambatuon is located at the foot of Mount Kinabalu, the highest mountain between Himalayas and New Guinea. There is a much smaller mountain nestling at the foot of Mount Kinabalu, the natives called it "the son of Mt Kinabalu" which is named Mount Nungkok.
