     A need to look at strata title 
    issue

    IT IS time that the new Selangor State Government look into numerous 
    complaints about land and strata titles in the state, as well as expediting 
    approval for sale of properties with leasehold titles. 
     
    Selangor should take the lead and become the model for other states to 
    follow by ensuring that errant developers do not get away with applications 
    to split their master titles to individual house buyers. 
     
    For too many years, the people of Selangor have complained about not getting 
    their land or strata title. Whatever the reasons, the whole system has not 
    been revamped to improve its efficiency. 
     
    Many of us complained to the housing authorities about errant developers, 
    and we were often told that land titles were issued by the land office, but 
    when we brought this to the land office and even state assemblymen, nothing 
    improved. 
     
    With the new state government in place, we hope that the system will be 
    revamped to ensure that developers comply with the laws to apply for strata 
    and individual land titles. 
     
    Open spaces in each housing estate should also be gazetted as soon as 
    possible. During past administrations, this failure to gazette open spaces 
    has caused much dissatisfaction among house buyers.
