Decades-long wait ends as Melaka hands over 47 approval letter for railway reserve land
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 Bhd'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.
"A special five per cent discount is offered to Notice 5A recipients who settle payment within three months, subject to the condition that no extension requests or appeals for premium reduction are made," he added.

Malaysia Condemns Israel's ‘Greater Israel' Agenda, Settlement Expansion
A Wisma Putra logo is seen in this picture. PUTRAJAYA, Aug 15 (Bernama) -- Malaysia unequivocally condemns, in the strongest terms, the latest statements by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, propagating the unlawful and illegal expansionist vision of a 'Greater Israel'. In statement Friday, the Foreign Minister said these planned actions constitute a blatant violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention and are to entrench the illegal occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). The E1 project which covers area between Jerusalem and Ma'ale Adumim, contravenes international law and relevant United Nations (UN) resolutions. bootstrap slideshow 'Its main purpose is to fracture the West Bank, erase Palestinian sovereignty and destroy the two State solution,' the statement read. The Ministry said Malaysia is equally outraged by the deliberate killings of journalists and media personnel in the Gaza Strip which constitute an egregious violation of international law and a flagrant breach of UN Security Council Resolution 2222 on the protection of journalists in conflict zones. 'These targeted attacks form part of Israeli Zionist regime's systematic campaign to silence independent reporting, including to obstruct the flow of information such as settler violence, and conceal its ongoing genocide and war crimes committed in the OPT,' it said. It reiterated Malaysia steadfast commitment to the Palestinian cause and will continue our efforts towards the establishment of an independent and sovereign State of Palestine based on pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. 'The United Nations and the international community must act now to immediately halt these illegal attempts by the Israeli Zionist regime and to safeguard the inalienable rights, security, and freedom of the Palestinian people,' it said. According to media reports, Netanyahu is propagating the unlawful and illegal expansionist vision of a 'Greater Israel', along with the approval for building thousands of settlement units in the E1 area between Jerusalem and Ma'ale Adumim in the OPT.
