Kepong Garden residents with only photostat copies of land titles must take action.

Deputy National Deputy Chairman and MP for Kepong Dr Tan Seng Giaw calls on the residents of Kepong Garden to check whether their land title certificates are photostat copies. If so, please show them to the Ad Hoc Land Title Action Committee on 13.3.2011 at 3 pm at the Pemadam Hall, Kepong Garden. There must be follow-up action.

On 6.3.2011, Dr Tan told the media conference at the Pemadam Hall, Kepong Garden.

Some houses in Malaysia such as those in Kepong Garden are on freehold land. Because of various factors like no detailed survey of the lots, they only have temporary land title certificates.

Over 1,000 houses in Kepng Garden were built more than 40 years ago. As residents only have temporary titles, an Adhoc Land Title Action Committee has been set up. The Survey and Mapping Department must complete the survey of all lots and the Land Office prepare the permanent titles.

Last week, a resdient has visited the Land Office for the completed land title. She has found out that her temporary Land Title Certificate is a photostat copy that has been kept in her safe deposit for years. Where is the original?

Those with only photostat copies of their land titles must make a police report. After getting a Declaration, they must obtain a caveat at the land office, so that nobody can take out the original title.
