Wan Rizal on Land Titles (Strata) (Amendment) Bill
Facilitate the renewal of ageing developments where broad support exists, but remember that for an elderly resident, a home may be a place to live safely, independently and with dignity. MP Wan Rizal, who said this in parliament on Tuesday (Sep 8), pointed out that changing the thresholds does not merely make collective sales easier but also enlarges the minority that can ultimately be required to sell without having consented. He stressed the need to examine whether the process is efficient and its safeguards are sufficiently robust. One concern relates to elderly and vulnerable owner-occupiers, whose home is part of their care infrastructure, independence and sense of security. He wanted to know if the government will introduce a vulnerable owner protection protocol for elderly, disabled and immobile owner-occupiers.
