MOHAMAD SHAHMIR BIN AH SHA'ARI v Pentadbir Tanah Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur

wa-15-9-03-2022 High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) 27 January 2025 • WA-15-9-03/2022

Catchwords

Land acquisition compensation dispute. This land reference concerned the acquisition of a low-cost apartment under the Land Acquisition Act 1960. The applicant challenged the adequacy of compensation awarded. The Court upheld the Land Administrator’s award of RM244,460.00 based on the comparison method, rejecting the applicant’s speculative valuation using the residual method. The Court found that the award complied with the principle of equivalence and adequately reflected market value and reasonable ancillary claims. The decision affirms that valuation must be based on actual market evidence, not unproven redevelopment potential.
