BUILD A RESILIENT ECONOMY

Land, Irrigation and Water Management

  • The government will establish a comprehensive National Land Bank to optimise land utilisation and streamline market operations. Recognising that land is a crucial factor in economic development and market dynamics, this initiative will centralise land information, facilitate efficient allocation, and support sustainable development.
  • Steps will be taken to provide freehold deeds within five years to land permit holders occupying government lands.
  • The legal system necessary for protecting water sources and catchment areas will be strengthened.
  • The government will make necessary investments to maintain the capacity of inland reservoirs at the maximum level. To ensure that all minor, medium, and major irrigation schemes will be rehabilitated and maintained to achieve required water demand.
