“The land issue is a state agenda. By right, all state excos should talk about this matter in the same tone and from the same angle, but what happened here is that each has their own view and explanations,” he told a press conference in front of the State Secretariat Building here. He said he also handed over a copy of it today to the Mentri Besar’s special officer Mohd Jaffery Mohd Zainol.
“There are many soldiers who had sacrificed for the country, police who had sacrificed to keep the state safe and the civil servants who have worked hard to develop the state, but they seem to be forgotten,” he said. “If this 999-year freehold land title was granted, can the youths and young adults could afford to buy a house and can those who receive the land title afford to pay the land tax?” he asked.The 999-year land titles are a state PH electoral promise to long-time tenants of properties dubbed “new villages” first established after World War Two to counter communism.
