Daily Land Transfer Registrations Hit 91.16% Efficiency

Malaysia's land administration has seen a significant leap in efficiency, with same-day processing for land transfers hitting 91.16% in the second quarter of this year. This marks a substantial increase from 81.75% in the previous year, according to Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister Datuk Seri Arthur Joseph Kurup.

The minister attributed this success to the effectiveness of digital transformation initiatives, which have streamlined land dealings and cut through bureaucratic red tape. A total of 40,818 land transfers were successfully completed within a single day, showcasing the capability of state and federal land administrators in leveraging digital systems and continuous coordination.

Since its introduction in 2017, the e-Tanah system has modernized land transactions across seven state and federal territories. This digital approach has not only improved efficiency but also significantly boosted national revenue. Notably, the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur alone has recorded over RM3 billion in revenue over the past five years due to the system's implementation.

Looking ahead, the government plans to further strengthen national land administration through continued digitization. This aims to enhance public service delivery efficiency and bolster the country's competitiveness. Efforts to empower the e-Tanah system will proceed in line with the government's aspiration to develop a modern, responsive, and digitally driven land administration system.
