KUALA LUMPUR:
The e-Land system implemented through a public-private partnership (PPP) arrangement will be expanded to other states after it was proven successful in increasing the quality and efficiency of land administration in Kuala Lumpur.

Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said the system would be expanded to the federal territories of Putrajaya and Labuan, as well as Selangor, Terengganu, Pahang, Johor, Kedah, Perlis and Kelantan as it is expected to be fully developed and adopted by 2024 at the latest.

“I was made to understand that the e-Land system concession agreement for the Land and Mines Office of Putrajaya and Labuan will be inked today,” he said when launching the National Land Day 2021 celebration, themed “Facing Post-Covid-19 Challenges in Land Administration”, held virtually today.

Muhyiddin, who also launched the expansion of the PPP e-Land system in conjunction with the celebration, said since the modernisation initiative in land administration service was implemented in the early 1980s, it had been fine-tuned and modernised in line with technology development.

The e-Land system is an initiative that involves a collaboration among the federal government, state governments and private companies, aimed at standardising land administration in the states.

It is based on applicable legislation, reducing bureaucracy and increasing transparency and integrity in land administration.
