Proposed Kampung Baru land bill to give protection to landowners, says Shahidan

KUALA LUMPUR: The proposed draft of the Kampung Baru Land Bill, which is expected to be tabled in Parliament early next year, is hoped to provide lifetime protection to Kampung Baru landowners, said Federal Territories Minister, Datuk Seri Dr Shahidan Kassim (pic).

He said that in the past there was no law that could specifically protect Malay reserve land, to prevent any party who wanted to change the status of the land.
