Energy and Natural Resources Minister Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan (pic) said the development of the e-Tanah system for the state is expected to be completed in two years and to be in use by 2024 for a period of 12 years.
"The e-Tanah system was successfully developed through a public-private partnership in 2021 and used in Perak beginning Feb 11, 2021, while the Federal Territories on Oct 29, 2021.
"Apart from that, the concession agreement was also inked with the Selangor government and is currently in the development process,” he said in his speech at the e-Tanah System Concession Agreement Signing Ceremony between the federal government, Terengganu government and Puncak Tegap Sdn Bhd here.
