The states are Perlis, Penang, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Malacca, Pahang, Terengganu and Sabah.

Among the weaknesses noted by the report, were the selling of Bumiputera/Malay lots to non-Bumiputera/non-Malay buyers without prior approval and the selling of Bumiputera/Malay lots at higher prices than permitted.

The A-G’s Report also noted incomplete advertisements of Bumiputera/Malay lots; the lack of a mechanism to monitor the sale of Bumiputera/Malay lots; and the lack of clarity of restrictions in land titles to ensure retention of Bumiputera/Malay ownership.

In his report, A-G Ambrin Buang made several recommendations to improve these weaknesses, including having the Land and Mines Offices in each state work with their respective local authorities to maintain a proper set of records and monitor the Bumiputera/Malay housing quotas.

In other states, like Penang, the A-G recommended establishing rules that allow action to be taken against developers who do not comply with the sales conditions and clearance of the Bumiputera/Malay quota.

He also called on the authorities to step up the enforcement of quotas so as to ensure developers complied with existing regulations.
