SBKS application process cut from 510 to 53 days starting Sept
JOHOR BAHRU: The state government has allocated RM500,000 for the development of the e-SBKS (Serah Balik Kurnia Semula) system, which aims to expedite matters related to SBKS, land status amendments, boundary subdivisions, and ownership transfers.
The system is expected to be launched in September.
Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, in a Facebook post, said the initiative will significantly reduce the SBKS application processing time from 510 days to just 53 days.
'The state government also allocates RM1.55 million to upgrade the e-submission, e-search and e-consent functions of the Computerised Land Registration System (SPTB) portal. Online private search for strata titles is available and will be expanded to include land title search for landed property,' he said.
He also stated that he had the opportunity to inspect the ongoing upgrade works at the Johor Land and Mines Office, which is expected to be completed by July 31, including 12 new counters dedicated to strata title matters and the creation of 54 new positions.
'Before these upgrades, the processing capacity for strata titles was around 120 folders per day. With the new initiatives, that capacity has increased fivefold to 600 folders daily, significantly speeding up service delivery and reducing the backlog,' he added.

Sarawak vows to link rural communities with roads by 2030
MIRI: The Sarawak government has pledged to connect all, or at least most, rural communities in the state to the road network by 2030, as part of an infrastructure push supported by nine regional development agencies. State Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas said each agency has been allocated RM1.5 billion, stressing that the funds must be used efficiently and without delay. 'It becomes an issue if these allocations are not spent. Our Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg expects the funds to be used promptly. 'When people are aware of these allocations, they expect action, improved roads, better access and better livelihoods. If not, they'll take to social media to express their frustration,' he said. Speaking at a Highland Development Agency (HDA) planning session here today, Uggah urged government departments to resolve project delays through on-the-ground coordination. HDA, one of the agencies driving the state's rural transformation agenda, has already committed RM1 billion to infrastructure and economic initiatives, with the remaining RM500 million expected to be utilised by mid-2026. He noted that much of Baram, in the Miri Division, still relies on former logging roads, many of which require urgent upgrades, maintenance or replacement of wooden bridges. 'The situation is complex. We must find a long-term solution for road maintenance,' he said, adding that he will lead a Sarawak Public Works Department (JKR) team to Bario in July for an on-site assessment. Beyond connectivity, Uggah highlighted Bario's untapped economic potential in agriculture and tourism, particularly in coffee and passion fruit cultivation, buffalo farming and handicrafts. He also noted the potential for buffalo milk cheese production, referencing a pilot project at the Meragang breeding station in Limbang. 'There's a large population of wild buffaloes owned by locals. I suggest looking into domesticating them,' he said. Uggah also urged local communities and agencies to leverage the region's rich cultural heritage to develop sustainable tourism. Among those in attendance at the session were Baram MP Datuk Anyie Ngau, Mulu assemblyman Datuk Gerawat Gala, Marudi assemblyman Datuk Dr Penguang Manggil, Telang Usan assemblyman Datuk Dennis Ngau and Regional Corridor Development Authority (RECODA) chief executive officer Datuk Ismawi Ismuni.
