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”.

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.
