| description | A prominent researcher on the history of Malaysian land tenure, Judith
Sihombing, argues in line with J. R. Innes that the land registration system
was first introduced in labuan by virtue of the labuan Registration of Titles
to land Ordinance No.7 of 1849 and not in Selangor under the Selangor
Registration of Titles Regulation No. IV of 1891. which was introduced by
W. E. Maxwell. Unfortunately, neither Innes nor Sihombing investigated
this matter any further. Moreover, the labuan Registration of Titles to land
Ordinance No. 7 of 1849 was issued prior to the Torrens System introduced
in Australia by Sir Robert Torrens (Real Property Act 1858). The
question is whether the labuan Registration of Titles to land Ordinance
No.7 of 1849 was a registration of land titles or a registration of deeds, or
a registration of instrument of transfer. This study attempts to investigate
and analyse these issues. In order to confirm that land registration was
first introduced in labuan, it is necessary to study labuan legal history. |
