3D Property Situation in Malaysia-Initiatives towards 3D Cadastre

Malaysian land administration provides a variety of rights, depending on the traditions of the country but the legacy cadastre system and land law are still using 2D geometry in legal and law expression (2D legislation) for land and property tenure and not prepared in 3D property legislation. These entire binding and legal document do not give enough 3D property legislation information for 3D property in Malaysia. This paper describes the overview of Malaysian Cadastre System for 3D purpose and the situation in Malaysia. Some cases on 3D property will be illustrated concerning the 3D property legislation in Malaysia. This paper underlines how code, act and others legal document that related to cadastre system play an important role in the initial part of land administration. We draw out some problems and constraints in the current cadastre system for 3D property objects in Malaysia. We explain the current practice of cadastral registration in Malaysia and the Malaysian Cadastral Data Model are elaborates also. The Malaysian Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB), Computerised Land Registration System (CLRS) and Cadastral Data Management System (CDMS), the development of 3D cadastre registration and the integration of CLRS and CDMS are illustrates respectively. Throughout the paper is become clear that quite a lot of study will be needed to realise the 3D property legislation for 3D property in Malaysia
