Various methods have been used in the investigation, particularly through literature reviews on the National Land Code 1965 and other related written acts, rules, regulations and procedures. In addition, personal and group interviews and discussions through a formed focus group involving multi stakeholders such as the Department of Survey Malaysia and the Land and Mine Office were carried out…
