Process (Tukar Syarat):
1. Submit application to Pejabat Tanah & Galian (PTG)
2. PTG refers to state planning authority, DOE, JKR, TNB, etc.
3. State Planning Committee (MPS) approves in principle
4. Premium and conditions imposed (e.g. infrastructure contribution)
5. Owner pays premium and complies with conditions
6. New title issued with industrial/commercial express condition
Timeline: 1–3 years depending on state. Selangor and Johor are generally faster.
Cost: Premium = percentage of land value (varies by state). Plus professional fees for surveyor, consultant, legal.
Important: Ensure the land is within an approved structure plan (Rancangan Struktur) that allows the intended use. Otherwise application will be rejected.
