**Johor Aims to Finalise Felda Settlers’ Land Titles by Year-End**
Johor is on track to complete a long-awaited process, promising to hand over all land titles to Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) settlers by the end of 2024. This ambitious target aims to provide security and ownership to thousands of families who have toiled on Felda land for generations, marking a significant milestone in land reform within the state.
The move has been widely welcomed by Felda communities across Johor, many of whom have been waiting for decades to formally own the land they cultivate. The land titles will not only provide a sense of security and belonging but also unlock opportunities for settlers to leverage their land for economic advancement. With official ownership, settlers will be able to access loans and financial assistance, invest in modern farming techniques, and plan for their future with greater certainty.
The Johor state government has been working diligently to streamline the land titling process, addressing various bureaucratic hurdles and resolving outstanding issues related to land boundaries and documentation. This involves close collaboration between state land offices, Felda authorities, and the settlers themselves.
The completion of this initiative is expected to have a positive ripple effect throughout the state’s economy. Empowering Felda settlers with land ownership is seen as a crucial step towards boosting agricultural productivity, fostering rural development, and improving the overall quality of life for these communities.
While challenges remain in ensuring a smooth and timely handover, the Johor government remains committed to meeting its year-end deadline. The successful completion of this project will not only provide legal ownership to the settlers but also serve as a testament to the government's commitment to empowering its citizens and fostering inclusive economic growth. The handover of these land titles will represent a significant achievement, ushering in a new era of prosperity and security for Felda settlers in Johor.
