PPTGWP completes conversion of subsidiary titles to strata titles

KUALA LUMPUR, May 18 -- Department of Director General of Lands and Mines Federal Territories (PPTGWP) has solved the process of converting all 1,327 subsidiary title deeds for old buildings in Kuala Lumpur to computerised strata titles, involving 62 housing and commercial schemes.

Federal Territories Land and Mines Department director-general Datuk Muhammad Yasir Yahya said the conversion process was carried out in stages since October 2020 through the Electronic Land Administration System (e-Tanah) and was completed by the end of December 2020.

The Federal Territories Survey and Mapping Department also played a role and provided assistance to update all existing title deeds in line with the Strata Titles Act 1985.

“The conversion work was done under Strata Titles (Conversion of Subsidiary Title to Strata Title) (Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur) Rules 2020 which was gazetted by the government on June 11, 2020,” he said in a statement here today.

Muhammad Yasir also said that with the conversion, the title records are now administrated through e-Tanah and all processes and dealings can be done easily electronically.

“With this conversion, title searches can be requested and procured online, including payment of parcel rent. Legal provision under the Strata Title Act and the Strata Management Act can also be used compared to previously,” he said.

Muhammad Yasir said the department was confident that the conversion will bring a positive impact to all owners involved and those with inquiries regarding the matter can visit the Strata Division of the PPTGWP or email tanahwila@ptgwp.gov.my.
