Melaka resolves 30-year railway land issue with 47 approval letters
ALOR GAJAH: The Melaka government has resolved a 30-year-old issue concerning railway reserve land in Pengkalan by distributing 47 approval letters for state land applications. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh stated that the handover reflects the state's commitment to addressing community needs and ensuring policies positively impact lives. He confirmed that 45 applications involved the long-delayed Pengkalan railway reserve land, while two were allocated for temple use. Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) also received approval to build a substation in Mukim Kelemak, Alor Gajah, benefiting over 3,050 users in residential, commercial, and government areas. The approvals were announced during the Wakil Rakyat Untuk Rakyat (WRUR) programme for the Rembia constituency, attended by coordinator Datuk Fairul Nizam Roslan. This year, 96 state land applications in Alor Gajah district have been approved, with Notice 5A issued to inform applicants of payable fees for land titles. Ab Rauf emphasised that the land will enable new homes, community spaces, and family gatherings, valuing it beyond monetary terms. The state government offers land premiums below market rates, ranging from RM9,000 to RM25,000, based on plot size. A 5% discount is available for Notice 5A recipients who settle payments within three months without requesting extensions or premium reductions. - Bernama

Decades-Long Wait Ends As Melaka Hands Over 47 Approval Letters For Railway Reserve Land
ALOR GAJAH, Aug 15 (Bernama) -- After more than 30 years, the issue involving railway reserve land in Pengkalan here has been resolved, with the Melaka government handing over 47 approval letters for state land application, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh. He said the handover ceremony reflected the state government's concern in understanding the community's needs and ensuring that every policy and development project delivers a positive impact on the people's lives. 'A total of 45 applications involved the Pengkalan railway reserve land that had been delayed for three decades, and two plots for temples. 'Also approved was Tenaga Nasional Berhad's (TNB) application to place a substation on Plot 1, Mukim Kelemak, Alor Gajah district, which will provide electricity to residential, commercial, hospital, and government office areas, benefiting more than 3,050 users,' he said today. He said this at the handover of the approval letters in conjunction with the Wakil Rakyat Untuk Rakyat (WRUR) programme for the Rembia state constituency, which was also attended by the coordinator for the constituency, Datuk Fairul Nizam Roslan. He said this year, 96 state land applications have been approved in the district, followed by the issuance of Notice 5A by the land administrator. Notice 5A is an official document informing applicants of the fees due, including document preparation and registration costs, that they must pay to obtain the land titles. 'It is on this land that new homes will be built, gardens will be filled with flowers, children will run and play, and families will gather every weekend. 'Its value is not merely measured in square feet, but in the space to build a life and pass down a legacy of peace to future generations,' he said. He said the state government imposes land premiums below market rates, ranging between RM9,000 and RM25,000, depending on the land size, compared to hundreds of thousands of ringgit.

Winding-up petition against Mah Sing withdrawn
KUALA LUMPUR: Mah Sing Group Bhd said a winding-up petition against the company has been withdrawn by the petitioner without liberty to file afresh. In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the property developer said the petition was related to a judgment dated Sept 13, 2024, obtained by One2Print Sdn Bhd in the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court over a trespass case. Under the judgment, Mah Sing was ordered to pay RM61,770 in special damages, with interest at five per cent per annum from Jan 20, 2020, until full settlement, as well as RM21,000 in costs. The company had earlier said it strongly refuted the basis of the petition and had filed an appeal in the High Court against the Sessions Court decision. Mah Sing obtained an ad interim stay of execution on Feb 18 and deposited the judgment sum with a stakeholder pending its appeal, with further case management set for Aug 18. It added that the withdrawal of the petition is not expected to have any material financial or operational impact on the group, apart from legal fees and related disbursements.
