hi... it has been a search high and low for my bf who wants to buy land.... he has been searching for land which is for non malays however, it is either too expensive or not suitable..

i myslf have experienced it searching... damn difficult bt then i see those malay reserved land damn cheap and is soo suitable for my bf business...

so im jz wondering is there any way that we can buy the malay reserved land even though we are not malay?... and btw, why reserve for them who dont want to buy?.. cant they open to all....

there is a way. make the land registered under sdn bhd & be company own property. alternatively, u own the land.
Malay reserved land cannot be purchase by chinese, but they nvr said cannot be purchased by company.

ohhh....ic.... means he has to create his own company 1st then oni buy the land lah...

does the company need to be a bumi company?

wah... cool idea .. but it really works?

of course malay reserved land is cheaper....however, it is not good for investment purposes as the value of this land is half of the land without such restriction.
The restriction is there for a reason.... ....
You may buy the land under a company name...however id you don't have the cash....
it will be very difficult for you to get financing as most banks will stay away from such lands because of the legal issues involved....
thats why those land left undeveloped....its not that nobody wants it....
its what you can do with it....in addition, these land normally meant for residential (dwelling houses) or agriculture use...
the potential is limited somehow....just my two cents worth...

@ckkbin, please don't misguide people. You need bumi status company in order to purchase Malay Reserved Land.
If your company share is majoriry shareholder is chinese, what is the dif between buying individual and company?

@happy_gal, using bumi status company, means your bf will not have share inside. Are you willing to risk that? having majority share for bumi means it is above 51% and your bf only hold 49%.

Malay reserved land is cheaper than others has its own reason. Other type of status land is more expensive, because it is free to trade for all races.

edyek, thanks for the clarification.. yeah i was so excited the other day told my bf he might be able to get the land to buy straightaway he asked the company is chinese geh wor.. can meh..

i thnk this sums up to no we still cant get the land...

aih i have to keep searching online lah in that case.... damn difficult to search for the right land lah... i searched damn damn long d...still cant get a suitable 1...

You can ask for land broker services to help you out. Yes they will have 2-3% commission earned from you, but at least they have a wider contact in searching suitable land for you. Online posting land ads are limited and mostly has been through many brokers whereby they will markup the price and the info are not accurate.

If you want to save money, just advertise in the newspaper for 3 days stating that you are searching for land, (What status, how big, location etc.) Ask the owner/broker to give u a call.

Land is a little complicated to houses.

Land, it will be a land title !!

The land title is write BUMIPUTRA only, it is for malay and it takes time to change to available to anyone chinese,indian !!

I suggest you better find an agent to help you. It is worth to because they are more experiences

my dear friend,
nowadays; you cannot get bumi title eventhough convert to muslim, yes for your next generation.

@Wingz33
TS is talking about Malay reserved land. Malay reserved land cannot be converted. So please don't misguide anyone.

@economy crisis
As @zuiko497 has said, converted muslim is not a Malay (it can be chinese, indian and others). Malay reserved land means the land is only buy/sell among MALAY race.
