    Whether SA when exercising its powers of disposal under the NLC need to comply with TCPA 1976
    No provision under the NLC nor TCPA or legislation S.108 of the NLC in dealing with the powers of State Authority in imposing condition and restriction in interest on land, in the event of conflict with that of the planning laws under the TCPA, the planning laws cease to apply & the condition/restriction of interest prevails.

    Fakta kes
    Bbrp orang dari perayu datang ke Telok Anson dari Kedah, Perak Utara & Selangor & membuka sbhg besar dari satu kaw. hutan. Mrk adalah setinggan & kemudian ramai lagi setinggan mengikut mrk Terdapat perjumpaan diantara penduduk setinggan ini ini & pegawai2 kjaan dimana didakwa bhw Pengarah Tanah & Galian mengatakan bhw setiap keluarga dari peneroka akan menerima 5 ekar tanah padi. Terdapat juga bbrp artikel di akhbar Utusan Myu,kjaan negeri bersedia membuka sehingga 10,000 ekar tanah untuk dimajukan oleh penduduk setinggan itu. Lama kelamaan bbrp orang penduduk setinggan diberikan 3 ekar tanah ttpi yang lain termasuklah perayu tidak berjaya. Mrk membawa tindakan mahkamah untuk satu deklarasi bhw mrk berhak dibawah undang2 & ekuiti ke atas lot yang mrk terokai, buka & tinggal. Resp. memohon di bawah Perintah 18 peraturan 19 Peraturan2 Mahkamah Tinggi untuk menolak & membatalkan tindakan perayu atas alasan perayu adalah setinggan & adalah menjadi budibicara hanya kepada PBN sahaja untuk b/milik tanah. Mahkamah Tinggi menerima permohonan responden & perayu merayu ke Mahkamah ini.

    CONCLUSION
    There is a need for an integrated planning and management of disposal of land so as to fulfill the sustainable development concept as propagated by the Town and Country Planning legislation and also Malaysia Vision 2020. Brunei land alienation policy of alienating land under her TOL is a good example of resolving housing problem to landless whereby land for housing purposes is alienated under TOL and after a certain period of time the TOL will be converted to title so as to convert land occupation to land ownership. There is a need to introduce the concept of ihya al mawat which is similar to the Common law adverse possession where long uninterrupted occupation of land, is given ownership rights on the basis that he who clear & develop the land without any form of adverse claim, will be given ownership rights.
