Our earlier Circular No. 23/2022 and No. 30/2022 on the above matter refers.
Please be informed that on 7.7.2022 the Johore Bar Committee (JBC) received a letter from Pejabat Tanah dan Galian Johor (PTG) stating that the PTG has taken note of our objections and following that has decided that a new format Enclosure B11 will be used wherein the Surat Akuan will now have to be endorsed by “pemilik asal dokumen yang diserahkan kepada wakil peguam” – the new Enclosure B11 is attached here. The Committee was further informed that the implementation date of this will be 10th of July 2022.
Following this information from PTG, there is no longer requirement for lawyers carrying out the presentation to provide the wide/general undertaking or Akuan as was required in the previous Enclosure B11. Members are therefore advised not to provide such Akuan when carrying out presentation. In the meanwhile, the Committee will continue to engage with the PTG towards resolving any issues that may arise from the new Enclosure B11.
Thank you.
