Penang’s retail and shopping landscape is full of excitement and as all-round as Kuala Lumpur. Its capital city, George Town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that boasts more than two centuries of unique history and heritage. George Town is the main shopping paradise in the northern part of Malaysia.

  • 3D Property–Types of Rights
    3D PROPERTY–TYPES OF RIGHTS Tan Liat Choon Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia Email: [email protected] Abstract The use of 3D property rights has become a common feature internationally and has existed for many years. The aim of this paper is to illustrate the way 3D situations are currently registered and recognised in the Malaysian Cadastral Registration. One situation in Penang and five in Kuala Lumpur were selected to illustrate representative situations in this paper. The purpose of the illustration is to investigate if the current cadastral laws and regulations under the National Land Code 1965 (Act 56), the Strata Title Act 1985 (Act 318) and the Building and Common Property (Maintenance and Management) Act 2007 (Act 663) are adequate, or if improvements are needed. All these models have been selected because of their simplicity, and also because they are representative of several types of problems associated with 3D properties. This study encompasses three property types, namely dimensions on-surface, above surface and below surface constructions (buildings, sky bridges, basement parking, utility transmission lines), and transportation networks. Keywords : Rights 1, 3D property 2, on surface 3, above-surface 4, below-surface 5 1 INTRODUCTION To present an overview of how 3D situations are presently registered in the Malaysian Cadastral Registration, six structural properties are selected as representative examples. 2 DIMENSIONS ON-SURFACE, ABOVE SURFACE AND BELOW SURFACE Buildings may be constructed to serve different owners who may have different functions in mind for the properties. Meanwhile, infrastructure objects such as transmission lines and transportation networks are entities that are necessary for the transportation of electricity, vehicle and people.
