Making 3D property legislation feasible in Malaysia
Tan, Liat CHoon et al.
Malaysian land administration provides a variety of rights, depending on the traditions of the country but the legalistic cadastre system and land law are still using 2D geometric in legal and law expression (2D legislation) for land and property tenure and not prepared in 3D property legislation. These entire binding and legal document do not give enough 3D property legislation information for 3D property in Malaysia. This paper describes the overview of cadastre system for 3D purpose and the situation in Malaysia. Some cases on 3D property will be illustrated concerning the 3D property legislation in Malaysia. Research Questions and objectives have been identified in order to propose and realise the 3D property cadastre system. A study on the contents analysis of secondary data comprising of Registry Title, Land Office Title, Certified Plan, Strata Title Act 1985 (Act 318) and National Land Code 1965 (Act 56) can then be used to identify suitable contents in those legal documents that would change 2D legislation to 3D legislation. The instrument used in the data collection would be a questionnaire that is divided into five areas of study. The respondents comprises of the State Director/Registrar/Land Administrator from State Lands and Mines Office, State District Land Office, Chief Surveyor and Licensed Land Surveyors from Penang, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur/Putrajaya, Selangor and Johore. Throughout the paper it becomes clear that quite a lot of study will be needed to realise the 3D property legislation for 3D property in Malaysia. Finally, conclusions on scope and contribution of the research are presented.
