Land Office
not used to issuing strata titles 20/03/1998 NST
MANY Land Offices are not accustomed to issuing Qualified Titles or even strata
titles. Where strata titles are concerned, Land Offices give the famous excuse
that "developers do not apply".
Speed up issue
of strata titles 22/03/1998 NSUNT
IT is no exaggeration to say that long-suffering owners of low and high- rise
buildings, who have yet to get their strata titles, are hungry for news that
can throw light on their predicament. Last week, two reports in the print
media on the problems relating to the issuance of this vital ownership document
will no doubt have attracted many readers interested in the subject. The number
of Malaysians and foreigners affected is not small considering that more than
100 million square feet of buildings requiring strata titles have been completed
in the past 30 years. Some building experts dare venture to make an educated
guess that only a small number of these buildings have been issued such titles.
This means some RM9 billion worth of property is in a state of uncertainty.
Without the strata titles, which denote legal ownership, all concerned parties
are at risk and can give rise to legal implications in the sale and purchase
of such properties.
Ting on confusion

BATU GAJAH, Sun. - Local authorities should refrain from using the developers'
failure to comply with the 30-per cent low-cost housing quota in their projects
as grounds to refuse the issuance of Certificates of Fitness for buildings
already completed. Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Dr Ting Chew
Peh said such action was unfair to house-buyers as they were being prevented
from moving into their homes for which they might be already servicing their
loans.
No sign of
