Legal Framework for Malay Reserve Land Management

The management and protection of Malay reserve land are underpinned by several legal instruments. Article 89 of the Federal Constitution provides special protection for MRL and mandates replacement with land of equivalent value in the event of revocation. Additionally, state-specific Malay Reservation Enactments outline provisions for the declaration, revocation, ownership restrictions, and prohibitions on non-Malay interests in MRL. The National Land Code 1965 also plays a role in general land administration and the coordination of MRL data at the federal level.
