February 26, 2015

ASAJAYA: The government has been urged to look at the possibility of converting Temporary Occupation License (TOL) to permanent ownership.

Assistant Minister for Youth Development (Urban) and Assistant Minister for Housing Datuk Haji Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said time has changed and there was a need to look at the policy of TOL.

He said that the government need to look at the policy and if possible, convert it to permanent title so that the land owners could use them for deposit to apply for loan to build their houses.

Abdul Karim, who is also Asajaya assemblyman said this at the presentation of Land Ownership Titles and Temporary Occupational License (TOL) for Asajaya district by Minister of Resource Planning and Environment II, Datuk Amar Haji Awang Tengah Ali Hassan at Asajaya Sports Complex here yesterday.

According to him, in this way the holders of TOL could make effort to build their houses.

He said the actual cost of constructing a house now is at least RM50,000 based on the estimated cost of building a PPRT house of Rumah Mesra Rakyat.

He said the requirement for TOL was that they must build houses on the land within five years and if they didn't the government had the right to take back the land.
