National Land Code (Malaysia)

The National Land Code (NLC) of Malaysia is the legal framework that governs land ownership, usage, registration, and transactions in Peninsular Malaysia. It provides rules for land rights, procedures for buying, selling, leasing, and developing land, and ensures proper land administration. The NLC aims to promote transparency, security of tenure, and orderly land development, balancing the interests of landowners, developers, and the government. It also establishes the Land Registry System to keep accurate records of land titles and boundaries, supporting legal certainty and land management across the country.
