Land Acquisition Process under Land Acquisition Act 1960

Development of any project is done through The Land Acquisition Process under Land Acquisition Act 1960 .
The general rule is that the measure of compensation is to be based on the market value of the acquired land.
According to the English case of Rickets v Metropolitan Rail Co L.R. 2 H.L. 175 which has been applied by the
Malaysian courts, “compensation is the amount required to put the dispossessed landowner in the same position as
if his property had not been acquired”.

Revenues:
Local Government in Malaysia has classification sources of revenue into six
categories as follow:
a) Assessment rates (inclusive of contribution inlaid-of rates)
b) Licenses and permits
c) Rentals
d) Government Grants
e) Car parking charges, planning fees, compounds, fines and interests.
f) Loans (from higher government / financial institution)
Local government revenue can be obtained from within local sources and consists
of taxes, rates, rents fees, fines, user-charges, dividends from
investment and income arising from any of its properties. Beside, local
government can derive income from outside its locality such as income from
grants, contributions, in-aid-of rates from Federal and State
Government and also from other public authorities. Loans may also be raised
but subject to the approval by the State Authority.
Local government’s funding is usually given in the form of specific grants from
the federal government or the state.
Financial grants from Federal and State Governments are the non-loan based
sources (NLBS) of revenue. These grants are not generated locally by local
government but derived from the higher level of government. This external sources
include:
i) Annual Equalization Grant
ii) Launching Grant
iii) Development Project Grant
iv) Road Maintenance Grant
v) Balancing Grant

sources of revenue and the strong cash flow is important for every
organization to ensure continuity and credibility in providing their services. So
conclusion, local authorities must plan strategically to generate more resources
and at the same time prove that local authorities are more efficient and
transparent.
Comparison of development model Putrajaya and Singapore
• In case of Singapore local government engage private consultants for micro level
planning and urban design level projects but in case of Putrajaya all kind of
developments are carried out the local planning authority itself.
• In case of Singapore, Land preparation by government agencies engage private
developers. Whereas in Putrajaya land parcels are sold to private developers for
the development by the local authority.
• Planning areas in Singapore are developed with planning boundaries under the
master plan. In Putrajaya Master plan boundary is divided into precincts and
further local area plan or special area plan is made to develop the area.
