Exorbitant and unreasonable, says Pahang Bar chairman over ‘office fee’ charge by state Land and Mines Office

KUANTAN: The Pahang Bar has expressed its dissatisfaction over the "office fee" charged by the state Land and Mines Office and district land offices for registration of property dealings.

Calling it an exorbitant and unreasonable increase by the state government, Pahang Bar chairman Muthukumar Suya Kumanan said the move came as a shock as there was neither prior notice nor consultation with the relevant stakeholders in the real property industry, especially lawyers dealing with transfers of properties.
