ABSTRACT
The business of the Land and Survey Department is carried on under "The Land Enactment, 1903"; "The Mining Code, 1904"; the "Registration of Titles Regulation, 1891"; and the "Registration of Titles Enactment, 1897". According to the Malay theory of land tenure, all property in land is vested in the Royal authority. State land is divided into three classes: Town and village lands, country lands of 100 acres in area and under, and country lands exceeding 100 acres in area. The alienation of the State Lands for agricultural purposes may be by auction or otherwise as the Resident may from time to time generally or in particular cases direct. The most suitable land will probably be found in the country lying between the Bidor Railway Station, the railway line to Telok Anson and the Lower Perak boundary.
