PETALING JAYA (June 11): The defence ministry (MinDef) will be taking measures against those who have encroached onto its land . The defence ministry owns 1.165 million acres of land nationwide, which are army camps, target practice fields and personnel housing. Planned measures include putting up fencing around the land encroached, erecting warning signboards, creating a leasing agreement (subject to the army's development plan) and applying for a court order to get the intruders to vacate the land. In the statement, the ministry also warned the public not to encroach upon land owned by the defence forces. According to the statement, in order to rent federal land, an application needs to be filed with the Lands and Mines Department.
