Abstract

This article is written with a two-fold plan. First, it explains and analyses
the issue of land management and administration, taking Malaysia as a
case study. Second, a comparison is made between the two most commonly
debated ways of managing and administrating land in Malaysia, i.e., the
Islamic land laws vis-a-vis the British-based land laws. While the issues of
land management and administration that were raised and then opined by
the early Muslim scholars like Abu Yusuf, Mawardi and Abu Ya 'la are taken
to represent the Islamic standpoint, the Kanun Tanah Negara, which to a
large extent is an offshoot of the Torrens System, is taken to represent the
British-based land laws. Having examined the two land laws it is found that
there is no substantial discrepancy between them. In fact, the remaining
differences can easily and readily be rectified if they are brought to the
attention of the members of parliament and state representatives whose
responsibility is to debate, harmonise, and pass the refined land laws, as
mandated by their respective constituents.
