Tougher land fraud deterrence
Recently, the department's senior officials said the changes were part of their proposal to amend the National Land Code (NLC) 1965.Land and Mines director-general Datuk Azemi Kassim said the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry was eager to see a new set of rules to better protect property owners from unscrupulous syndicates.
"We are aware of land scams in the country. We are now trying to minimise such scams and this can be done with an amended NLC."
He said the department was in the midst of consulting relevant parties before drawing up the final paperwork by year-end.
Upon getting the Cabinet's green light, the department hopes the proposal will be tabled in Parliament by the middle of next year.
Azemi said about 75 per cent of the NLC needed to be amended. Among the proposed changes are the introduction of the Certificate of Correctness as an additional document when transferring land to another person and to implement the biometric system to ensure authenticity of a seller's identity.
The Malay Mail had reported on syndicates obtaining original land titles by forging documents, such as identity cards, letter of undertaking and signatures, and selling the land without property owners' knowledge.
Our probe on fake document-producing syndicates was made following our July 26 expose on a land grab case in Shah Alam involving Datin Murnina Sujak, whose four plots of land in Bukit Jelutong was sold by an impostor without her knowledge.
In the case, a woman named "Elizabeth George" managed to execute the deal using a fake MyKad and driving licence that bore her face but Murnina's personal details.
Land offices need to subscribe to NRD online serviceOur investigation led to the admission by Selangor Land Office assistant director Nazrul Shukri Ali that they did not have an infallible method to ensure land titles were granted to rightful owners.
He also admitted thumbprint scanners in the State land offices were offline as their system was not linked with the National Registration Department (NRD). This was clarified by the NRD in our Aug 2 report.
On this, Azemi said thumbprint scanners distributed to the land offices were in working order, just that some of them had not subscribed to the NRD's online service.
"NRD handed us 180 units of scanners which we handed to the states. To have real-time details of the persons intending to transfer land ownership, land offices need to subscribe to the NRD's online service.
