PUTRAJAYA: Land worth billions of ringgit belonging to Muslims, including in strategic areas like Kampung Baru in Kuala Lumpur, have been left idle due to difficulties in determining their rightful owners. Some of this land has been abandoned since World War II. 

This is because over 90% of Muslims do not leave wills to facilitate the disbursement of their estates, particularly immovable assets like land and buildings.
