LEGAL CLARITY ON LAND OFFICE DUTIES: SYARIAH COURT ORDERS VS. CIVIL PROBATE

The Malaysian Bar and the Director General of Lands and Mines (JKPTG) have issued Circular No. 077/2026 to clarify the responsibilities of Land Registrars regarding Syariah High Court orders affecting land registration.

* Recognition of Syariah Orders: Under Section 421A of the National Land Code, Land Registrars and Administrators have a statutory duty to give effect to valid directions or orders from the Syariah High Court in the same manner as orders of the Civil High Court.

* The Constitutional Boundary: Matters relating to probate, letters of administration, and the administration of estates fall strictly within the Federal List of the Federal Constitution.

* What is NOT Registrable: Syariah Court orders or Faraid certificates relating to probate or letters of administration are not registrable instruments at the Land Office.

* Critical Message to the Public: Notwithstanding the recognition provided by Section 421A, parties are still required to obtain a valid civil grant of probate or letters of administration from the Civil High Court before any registration or dealing affecting land can be effected.

Failure to follow the correct civil procedure may result in actions being deemed ultra vires and in conflict with the Federal Constitution. Ensure your estate dealings are compliant with both the National Land Code and Constitutional law.

KEJELASAN UNDANG-UNDANG MENGENAI TANGGUNGJAWAB PEJABAT TANAH: PERINTAH MAHKAMAH SYARIAH VS. PROBET SIVIL

Badan Peguam Malaysia dan Ketua Pengarah Tanah dan Galian Persekutuan (JKPTG) telah mengeluarkan Surat Edaran Bil 1/2026 bagi menjelaskan tanggungjawab Pendaftar Tanah berkaitan perintah Mahkamah Tinggi Syariah yang melibatkan pendaftaran tanah.

* Pengiktirafan Perintah Syariah: Di bawah Seksyen 421A Kanun Tanah Negara, Pendaftar atau Pentadbir Tanah mempunyai kewajipan statutori untuk memberi kesan kepada arahan atau perintah sah daripada Mahkamah Tinggi Syariah sepertimana pelaksanaan perintah Mahkamah Tinggi Sivil.

* Sempadan Perlembagaan: Hal-hal berkaitan probet, surat kuasa mentadbir, dan pentadbiran harta pusaka jatuh di bawah Senarai Persekutuan dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan.

* Apa yang TIDAK Boleh Didaftarkan: Perintah Mahkamah Syariah atau sijil faraid yang berkaitan dengan probet atau surat kuasa mentadbir bukanlah instrumen yang boleh didaftarkan di Pejabat Tanah.

* Mesej Kritikal kepada Awam: Walaupun terdapat Seksyen 421A, pihak-pihak tetap diwajibkan untuk mendapatkan geran probet atau surat kuasa mentadbir sivil yang sah daripada Mahkamah Tinggi Sivil sebelum sebarang pendaftaran atau urusan tanah boleh dilaksanakan.

Kegagalan mematuhi prosedur sivil yang betul boleh menyebabkan tindakan tersebut dianggap ultra vires dan bercanggah dengan Perlembagaan Persekutuan. Pastikan urusan harta pusaka anda mematuhi Kanun Tanah Negara dan undang-undang Perlembagaan.

法律明确土地局职责：回教法庭庭令与民事遗嘱认证的区分

马来西亚律师公会及联邦土地与矿务局局长（JKPTG）发布了 2026 年第 077 号通告，以澄清土地注册官在处理涉及土地注册的回教高等法庭庭令时的职责。

* 对回教法庭庭令的认可： 根据《国家土地法典》第 421A 条，土地注册官或行政官负有法定责任，执行回教高等法庭发出的有效指示或庭令，其方式与执行民事高等法庭庭令相同。

* 宪法界限： 有关遗嘱认证（Probate）、遗产管理书（Letters of Administration）以及遗产管理的事宜，严格属于《联邦宪法》下的联邦清单。

* 不可注册的项目： 回教法庭发出的有关遗嘱认证或遗产管理书的庭令，以及遗产分配证明书（Faraid），均不是土地局的可注册文书。

* 关键公众信息： 尽管有第 421A 条的规定，各方仍被要求在进行任何涉及土地的注册或交易前，必须先从民事高等法庭获得有效的民事遗嘱认证或遗产管理书。

未能遵守正确的民事程序可能导致有关行动被视为“越权”（ultra vires）并违反《联邦宪法》。请确保您的遗产交易符合《国家土地法典》和宪法法律的要求。

🚨 LATEST LEGAL INSIGHTS: Is a 1-Month Resignation Notice Always the "Standard"? 🚨

Many employees subconsciously believe that a 1-month resignation notice is the absolute "standard" under Malaysian Labor Law. But what happens when your employment contract explicitly states you must give 3 months' notice?

In his latest legal column for Nanyang Siang Pau, our Partner, Mr. Melvin Low, breaks down this highly debated employment dispute. He analyzes the realities of Section 12 and Section 13 of the Employment Act 1955, explaining the absolute principle of "Freedom of Contract." Simply put: Contract is King. He also breaks down the harsh financial consequences of leaving on "Short Notice," where employees can end up owing the company a significant civil debt in the form of indemnity.

Whether you are an employer protecting your company's system or an employee navigating your exit, knowing your legal boundaries is crucial. Read his full analysis in the link below! 👇

Ramai pekerja beranggapan bahawa notis peletakan jawatan selama 1 bulan adalah "standard" wajib di bawah Undang-Undang Buruh Malaysia. Tetapi bagaimana jika kontrak anda dengan jelas menetapkan notis 3 bulan?

Dalam ruangan undang-undang terbarunya untuk Nanyang Siang Pau, Rakan Kongsi kami, En. Melvin Low, mengupas salah faham yang sering berlaku di tempat kerja ini. Beliau menganalisis Seksyen 12 dan Seksyen 13 Akta Kerja 1955, serta menjelaskan prinsip "Kebebasan Berkontrak" (Freedom of Contract). Ringkasnya: Terma Kontrak adalah Muktamad. Beliau juga merungkaikan akibat kewangan jika pekerja berhenti dengan "Notis Singkat" (Short Notice), di mana pekerja berisiko menanggung hutang sivil akibat perlu membayar ganti rugi kepada syarikat.
Sama ada anda majikan yang ingin melindungi sistem syarikat, atau pekerja yang merancang peletakan jawatan, fahami hak perundangan anda. Baca analisis penuh di pautan di bawah! 👇

许多人潜意识里认为“一个月通知”是马来西亚职场的“标准行规”。但如果你的雇佣合约上白纸黑字写明离职需要3个月通知，你该怎么办？

本所合伙人 刘健辉律师 (Melvin Low) 在其《南洋商报》的最新专栏中，深入剖析了这个极易引发争议的职场话题。他详细解析了《1955年雇佣法令》第12及第13条文，强调马来西亚法律奉行“契约自由”（Freedom of Contract）原则——合约为王。文章也清楚点明了法律现实的严厉：若员工无视合约执意只给短通知（Short Notice），将面临向公司赔偿代通知金的民事债务风险。
无论是为了维护公司制度尊严的雇主，还是准备离职的员工，看懂合约才是保护自己的第一步。点击下方链接阅读完整文章！👇

🏠 Tenancy Disputes: The "Imperial Sword" Myth / 租约纠纷：房东手握“尚方宝剑”？

Is it true that if a tenant terminates early, the landlord can automatically forfeit all deposits?
很多房东和租客都有一个误区，认为“一旦租客提前解约，房东就自动没收所有押金”。

❌ The Short Answer: No, it is not automatic.
❌ 答案：并不是自动的。

Key Takeaways / 重点:

The "Security Deposit" is meant to secure the performance of the contract (e.g., paying rent, maintaining the property). Unless there is a specific clause allowing for "Liquidated Damages" or the remaining rental as compensation, a landlord cannot simply treat the deposit as a "penalty" fee for leaving early.

押金的主要目的是担保租客履行合约（如交租、维持房屋状况）。除非合约里有明确的赔偿条款，否则房东不能随意把押金当成“惩罚金”全数没收。

At Low & Fong, we advise both parties to adhere strictly to the written Tenancy Agreement. Don't rely on assumptions!

在 Low & Fong，我们建议双方必须严格根据租约办事。别让误区导致不必要的纠纷！

你好！我在吉隆坡租了一间公寓，签了2年的租约。最近因工作调动，入住仅半年就必须搬去槟城，被迫提前解约。...
