Brunei's Current Corruption Case

Well, its revealed that Ted Sdn Bhd asked for a 5 acre TOL land for their business and yet the Land Department dragged their feet to do the necessary paperwork for them. They applied since 1991 and in 1993 and got the land in 1994 after the ex-Minister intervention...

That show's how slow the Land Department is when doing things and somehow, from what the media has printed, I think its valid that the Minister intervene and asked Land Dept to approve the land. Afterall its only TOL land, which the government can take back anytime. The reasons for the 5 acre land is justified because with Ted's growing machinery, 1 or 2 acre land is just enough to build a workshop for their company... maybe.

ITs quite surprising that the Land Dept under TOL or whichever section that deals with it, sometimes give large tracts of land without anyone knowledge and yet, how do these people get it in the first place? How come there's no query or complaints? Basically people dont know who are being "awarded" lands since their operation is shrouded in secrecy. And the fact that their frontdesk staff need some customer-clients manners... been there done that...
