Although we have highlighted the issue of land title to the Minister of Federal Territories and the FT Land & Mines Office, ultimately, the onus is on the Land Office to expedite the process and give no more hassles to housebuyers. Thank you, YB Dr Tan, for helping to highlight this issue.

Pejabat Tanah mestilah berikhtiar mengatasi masalah geran tanah
Timbalan Pengerusi Kebangsaan DAP dan Ahli Parlimen Kepong Dr Tan Seng Giaw menyeru supaya Jabatan Tanah dan Galian, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, mempertingkatkan usaha untuk menyelesaikan masalah geran tanah 1124 unit tumah di Taman Kepong, agar mereka dapat geran kekal.
Pihak berkuasa haruslah memberi perhatian untuk memastikan semua pemaju mematuhi syarat-syarat perjanjian termasuk geran. Sementara itu, kerajaan patut mengurangkan birokrasi.
Pada 9.1.2011, Dr Tan bersama dengan wakil-wakil penduduk Taman Kepong membuat kenyataan tersebut.
Lebih 40 tahun yang lepas, pemaju Kepong Development Sdn Bhd memajukan Taman Kepong. Semasa itu jurukur tanah tidak payah mengambil lesen dan permohonan geran kekal tidak diwajibkan. Unit ukuran ialah kaki persegi. Kini, meter persegi digunakan.
Pada 27.12.2010, wakil penduduk dan saya menemui Encik Latif Ali, Timbalan Pengarah, Jabatan Tanah dan Galian Wilayah, Persekutuan KL. Jabatan itu hanya mewarisi kesulitan geran ini. Kami berharap ia akan mengatasinya.
Fasa pertama Taman Kepong mempunyai 525 unit rumah dan Fasa kedua 600 unit. Setakat ini ada 47 yang menukar unit ukuran lot dari kaki persegi kepada meter persegi.
Pemaju haruslah bertanggungjawab untuk geran tanah. Dewan Bandaraya, Jabatan Ukur dan Jabatan Tanah dan Galian mestilah mengambil perhatian.
Terdapat sesetengah pemaju sanggup menghadapi pelbagai masalah dengan baik, termasuk menentukan geran yang tepat.
Kami mendesak supaya pihak yang berkenaan mengambil berat terhadap semua projek perumahan. Begitu, para pembeli diberi geran tanah yang tepat.

Land Ofice should try its best to overcome the problems of land titles
DAP National Deputy Chairman and MP for Kepong Dr Tan Seng Giaw urges the Federal Territory Kuala Lumpur Land Office to try its best to help the 1124 homes in Kepong Garden to solve the problem of temporary land titles. As their lots are freehold, they should get permanent titles.
The authorities must pay greater attention to housing developers so that the latter fulfill the conditions in the contracts such as proper land titles for the buyers. Meanwhile, the Government must reduce bureaucracy and red-tape.
On 9.1.2011, Dr Tan and representatives of Kepong resdients met the media to let the public know the steps taken by the Federal Territory KL Land Office.
Over 40 years ago Kepong Development Limited started to develop Kepong Garden. Then, surveyors did not have licence and application for permanent land titles was not compulsory. The unit for each lot was per square foot. Now, it is per square metre.
On 27.12.2010, residents' representatives and I met the Deputy Director of the Land Office Encik latif Ali. The department has inherited the land title mess. We hope that it will sort it out.
Phase one, Kepong Garden, has 524 units of houses and Phase two has 600. Hitherto, 47units have had their lots in per square foot converted to per square metre.
Some developers try their best to deal with various matters including proper certificate for land titles. They fulfill their agreement.
We press all concerned to increase their vigilance over all housing projects, ensuring that all buyers get suitable land titles.
Dr Tan Seng Giaw
