Govt may amend land law


THERE are plans to amend the Land Acquisition Act to protect government assets and public interest following a land issue involving the Duta enclave, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

“The law must be tightened. Public interest cannot be compromised. If we compromise on this matter, then all land (acquisitions), particularly Malay-owned land in urban areas, will be reopened for scrutiny,” he said.
