Legislation

land is a State matter which is administered at the State level by the Director of Lands and Mines , assited by the collector of Land Revenue and the Registrar of Titles .

Before 1965 , land administration in the various States was governed by different sets of land codes . The introduction of the National Land Code ( NLC ) in 1965 provides a uniform legislation governing the administration of land in Penisular malaysia . Due to historical and political developments , Penang and Malacca adopt NLC ( Penang and Malacca Titles ) Act 1963 ; Sabah and Sarawak adopt Sabah Land Ordinance and Sarawak Land Code respectively .

The function of NLC is to provide a uniform legal framework for dealing in all matters relating to land , land tenure , the registration of titles , and the collection of land revenue .
