Deputy minister: Amended Land Code will give comprehensive definition to the term ‘land’ in Sarawak
KUCHING, May 18 — Deputy Minister of Law, Malaysia Agreement 1963 and State-Federal Relation Datuk Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali today said that the amendments to the Sarawak Land Code are to provide for a more comprehensive definition of the term “land” so that its statutory meaning is in line with those found in the Malaysian laws, such as the National Land Code.
“It is also to make provisions for regulating the use of land both onshore and in the seabed which forms the Continental Shelf of Sarawak for the storage and capture of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases of any forms or descriptions,” she said when tabling the Bill in the State Assembly. “For Instance, Section 44 of the National Land Code covers and includes the airspace above the land and under Section 75A, the State Authority in Peninsular Malaysia has the power to permit the use of airspace above state land.
Hasidah said the amendments will enable the state government to ensure that spectrum in the airspace of land in the state would be regulated and used in accordance with plans for the establishment or improvement of state-wide telecommunication infrastructures to support the economic development of Sarawak under the Post-Covid-19 Development Strategy.
