Surveyor

Difference Datum

2010-01-21T19:13:00.000-08:00

This land owner want us to counter checked his land boundary because somebody told him that his land still has another 200 acres in the jungle. He very excited because there are many expensive log can be abstracted out if the boundary is really 200 acres. He could not sleep well because of this information. His man on the ground also excited because perhaps his boss will give extra BONUS for the "value" information.

The management team told me they personal saw the boundary line by the forest officer in the computer map. This is why the management team very confidence there are another 200 acres in the jungle and further more they passed me the coordinate to assist me. However, all the dreams and bonus disappeared when I found the first mark near the old drain.

The land owner and the management team always called me what was the progress of my survey but unluckily to them because all the boundary marks fall near to old drain about 4-5m and all the big log just stand behind of these boundary marks.
On the last of my survey, I told the management team that even GPS is an intelligent tool in detection position but when come on cadastral survey. It will another story because the GPS system have not yet implemented on title survey where JUPEM is trying to do currently.

The coordinate given by the forest officer is incorrectly because of difference datum and this is why they said the land in jungle. The management disagreed with the mark found on the ground and claimed perhaps somebody misplace it. I told them these marks were planted before Malaya independant where the survey was carried out in year 1927. During that period, they were using chain with theodolite and further more the area is hilly. Those day surveyor and his team really worked and the mark we found is the evidence.

Comparison reading with GPS and PDUK

2010-01-21T00:43:00.001-08:00

6 GPS points were observed and a conversion coordinate from WGS84 to local cassini solder was carried out for each point before I went back to site to search for the boundary marks. Initially I assumed that these GPS reading were relevant with the PDUK info. The GPS reading could not convert into Geocentric cassini solder because the NDCDB is not available for this particular place thus we need to convert the GPS reading into old cassini Solder which based on the state origin.

On the first day, we found an old pipe near the bamboo patch but about 2m away from the computed point. Thus, I assumed that the old pipe in position and searched for the next boundary. A sound of crack on the next mark proved that the old pipe was re fixed correctly. A few boundary marks were found even after nearly 1km traverse and the conclusion from this experience is error of conversion between geographic coordinates (Æ, l, h) and Cartesian coordinates (X, Y, Z) due to difference datum. So, how good is our NDCDB? Still a big question mark to public including me. Friendly speaking, public only trust on the boundary mark and no the coordinate.

USB dongle driver vista-Comdlg32.ocx ERROR

2010-01-20T22:03:00.000-08:00

Most the software are using USB dongle including the CSCS program. Even through I had installed the Sentinel System Driver into the Windows Vista system but the doogle still fail to function.

Finally, I managed to settle this problem after a few months. There was a message of "Comdlg32.ocx" error before I solved this problem.

Firstly, you need to download comdlg32 (need to extract because in zip file) then copy this file into c:\windows\system32.

This is for Windows Vista user. A lot of program need to go through administrator before we able to use the software.

After paste the comdlg32.ocx into the system32 folder then click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. ( ensure you click right-click when in command prompt)

Type the following command from Start, Run dialog:

regsvr32 %Systemroot%\System32\comdlg32.ocx

When you see above then you succeed in installation

Capital gains (go for growth)

2010-01-10T17:29:00.000-08:00

Working as a land surveyor, I am exploded to land and property opportunity. Subsequently I also learn some skills from the my clients either from developer, land or property owners.

Recently one of my clients told me that he bought the piece of land I demarcated for him at Tengkera, Melaka only cost him RM300K for 9000 square feet. This amount of money to me is huge because this is a vacant land without any building. Perhaps to this young and rich guy is reasonable because he likes to stay at town area.

The lot located at the heart of Melaka town, 2 schools around this area and government clinic at the main entrance of the lot. Even there are still have some wooden houses at neighbor lot but there is new access due to development (housing project) of opposite lot and a lot of people can enjoy the new access without using the old and narrow road.

During our conversation while I did the survey, he did mention to me that somebody willing to offer him RM50 per square feet for this piece of land but he refused to sell. He easily can gain RM20 per square feet or RM180,000 if he sell the property. This young guy told me the main reason he invest in this piece of property because initially he want to buy the semi-detached just opposite this particular lot but the price is from range RM350K (min) to half a million where the area of the lot is less than 4000 square feet. Thus, instead of buying the semi-D, he bought this vacant land and build his dream bungalow on this lot.

This is why people (my clients) also told me that property usually increase in value because of rising demand as their areas become more popular and mature such like above case or because there is easy access to facilities and infrastructure provided is conducive.

Below are some factors to look out when buying for capital gains property :-

1. Look at surrounding values to determine potential

-Like above young guy, he saw the opportunity of this lot while he want to buy the semi-detached which maybe cost him half a million.

2. Limited supply

-Please bear in mind that prices will rise if the property is in great demand but there is limited supply.

-Sometime the value of the property is seem high but able to sell before start the construction. Normally this project is small less than 4 acres but with unique concept and targeted especially government servants. This group of investor are entitled government of RM200K with 4% interest loan.

-If you want to invest in shop house then the ratio of shop house to residential units should be not exceed 1 : 20. Anything less than 20 would indicate a possible oversupply situation. I noticed that a new development in Krubong, Melaka. This developer only built 2 rows of shop house in front of the frontage with majority bungalow residential. The sale is amazing according to the developer even located far from Melaka town.

3. More land

-According to House Price Index published by Napic, detached houses and semi-detached houses have registered the highest rate of capital growth while high rise properties have recorded the lowest. This information is telling us prefer land title rather than strata title if want capital appreciation.

4. Location

-Most of the people is emphasis on location. Good location usually with expensive rate. Rate of agriculture land normally based on acreage but in potential area such as Hang Tuah Jaya, Melaka. The land owner take this opportunity to raise the rate into square feet instead of acre for agriculture land.

Sometime location not a main factor in determine the value of property. I have a case that involve of a Malay land owner told me on previous years ago, his land value increased tremendously after a road acquisition occurred by state government. The area of the property became less but he happy because he receipted the compensation and the most he enjoy is the value of the land. He is a millionaire if he sell the property.

Contractor need Borang C for bungalow submittion to local council

2010-01-07T23:49:00.000-08:00

This chinese contractor rang out to me couple weeks ago for demarcation survey for a bungalow lot. I charged a day fee for this particular job because it was simple and straight forward work which involve of 4 marks. However, he did not turn out for receiving his plan and payment to us until today. Thus, I called him and finally he came to our office.

When he open the plan and he requested for "Borang C " because he wants to submit to Majlis. ehh...Intially he just want to demarcation and now he request more what he pay. He told me that his previous freelance surveyor able to give him the form after demarcation. I told him what is the purpose of "Borang C". We as a licensed land surveyor can not simply issue a borang C without an asbuilt survey to ensure the building is built according to approval plan. After long discussion, I told him that I need to do as-built before issue the borang and the cost I absorb because of mis-conmmunication.

Please take note that Borang C is under AKTA JALAN PARIT DAN BANGUNAN 1974

Innovative website for Melaka investor

2010-01-05T22:50:00.000-08:00

Melaka just declared as “Melaka Maju 2010” on 1 January 2010 and Jabatan Perancangan Bandar dan Desa, Melaka has taken a proactive move by created an useful and friendly website to the investor/ consultant/ developer and including me as a land surveyor.

What is the interesting of this website? Basically, in this application, user are able to view land use for a lot such like agriculture, industry or etc. If you have PA for the area then just key in the PA number. The website able to show the information including the surrounding area.

This is one of the example

Developer and land investor are the main person look for this kind of information. They want to know the surrounding development before they buy the property. Find out more information at Geoportal Melaka .

Precaution in GPS static observation

2009-12-23T21:41:00.001-08:00

As discussion with my GPS consultant on the final result

Based on the GPS result and I did a comparison in distance with my total station. For every 1km, the propagation error is about 7cm by total station. The number of station in this traverse is 25 and each line contribute error of 7mm (short). The shortage of 7mm is correct when I compared with my EDM test on August 2009 and we noticed our instrument problem. Thus I can verify the distance by GPS is perfect calibrated. This is the main reason in the survey circular 2009 stated that traverse need to tie with CRM (Cadastral Reference Mark) or proven old mark for every 25 station or 1km(urban survey) or 2.5km (rural survey) which is early. In my case, my distance error contribute nearly 190mm for 2.5km.

While difference in bearing, I adopted GPS observation is correct since GPS is based on grid north while our cadastral sun observation is based on true north. I will do the sun observation to verify the GPS bearing when I in the field.

I have another 4 marks fail in processing and one of the reasons is due to no data connection from JUPEM during the observation. It causes the raw data of GPS observation can not apply the correction. This is one of disadvantage of using Static method. The best solution is using real time MyRTKnet.

Jungle position by Department of Wildlife and National Parks (PERHILITAN)

2009-12-22T22:04:00.000-08:00

Recently, I received a sms from one of the estate managers in Pahang. According to him, the boundary marks were found by PERHILITAN officer and below are the code.

VK 456 967 08 WMR 371 147 14

VK 458 127 41 WMR 367 618 46

This is the first time I see the such code and initially I do not what code it is then I refer to my GPS consultant.

Above the result of the secret code by PERHILITAN

VK is on the east portion and WMR on north portion

Now I just realised that our PERHILITAN is using RSO system to locate the location rather that using our cadastral coordinate. I do not how they (forestry officer) able to locate the marks by GPS with RSO system. Maybe I should dig more information from them.

Calculation of road reserve with vary width (by secant method)

2009-12-21T17:46:00.000-08:00

Initially, we need to know the angle of B-A-C.

In this case, the angle is 140° 00’ 00” (a + b)

The formula:

Tan (a - b)/2 = (a-b)/(a+b) tan (a + b)/2
Tan (a - b)/2 = (20-10)/(20+10) tan (140°)/2
Tan (a - b)/2 = 10/30 tan 70°
Tan (a - b)/2 = 0.915825806

(a - b)/2 = 42° 29’ 3.32”------------------------(1)
(a + b)/2 = 70° 00’ 00” -------------------------(2)

Solve above equation

a - b = 84° 58’ 6.65”-----------------------(3)
a + b = 140° 00’ 00”-----------------------(4)

a = 84° 58’ 6.65” + b ---------------------(5)
a = 140° 00’ 00” - b -----------------------(6)

Replace a in (5) with a in (6)
84° 58’ 6.65” + b = 140° 00’ 00” - b

2b = 55° 01’ 53.35”
b = 27° 30’ 56.68”

With b = 27° 30’ 56.68”, solve a in (5)

a = 84° 58’ 6.65” + 27° 30’ 56.68”
a = 112° 29’ 3.33”

Bearing AD = Bearing AC + b
= 127° 00’ 00” + 27° 30’ 57”
= 154° 30’ 57”

Distance AD is

AD = b/ sin b
= 10/ sin 27° 30’ 56.68”
= 21.645

Or

AD = a/ sin a
= 20/ sin 112° 29’ 3.33”
=21.645

Land title missing and how to apply?

2009-12-10T20:13:00.000-08:00

One of our customers in the process of doing sub-division and when we need to submit the original title to Land office, he claimed that the previuos land owner had been lost the land title. However, his name was in the search because the land transaction was done in Form 14A by the lawyer.

There is no much info regarding land title missing in English but I found a few articles in Malay which is very useful in this case. One of them is mindahartawan, he did mention what actions or steps need to take such as lodge police report. Another blogger whom worked in firm by the named of sitistrawberry, she put in more details.

1. Lodged police report and buy the copy
2. Do statutory declaration or Akuan Berkanun @ surat sumpah by commision of oaths
3. Payment to Land office or Register

Please bear in mind, we also need to attached with title lost form with the relevant payment. Melaka fee is RM240 at the moment.

Cadastral Reference Mark (CRM)

2009-12-08T21:56:00.000-08:00

This is the first time we are using GPS to set up cadastral reference mark (CRM) where I could not find any boundary marks in this estate. This estate is neighbour with jungle reserve and previous owner had dug a wide drain along the boundary and I suspected the boundary marks has been removed while the process of digging by ecavator. However, I need to confirm my survey before I able to refix the old boundarys.

The GPS need to set at open sky area with no shade tree or object

Energetic and young team

We are using static method with 1 pair of GPS.

According to survey circular 2009, part of survey datum is 2 new CRM with distance no less than 30m and observation can be in static method with condition both points must observe on same time. The observation only take about 30 minutes except the master set observation where the observation was about an hour.

We also set 2 CRM where the estate manager show us the bundary mark with small holder. By this method we do not need to traverse where involve of time and cost.

According to our GPS consultant, even through we have CRM and NDCDB dataset. We still need to search for old boundary marks because no all the NDCDB are valid. Land owner only believe in boundary stone and no the NDCDB coordinate where JUPEM just implemented recently.

The second reason is due to the conversion from WGS84 to cassini solder. The GPS coordinate is based on the centre of earth with is similar with GDM2000. However, the coordinate for cassini solder is based on the state origin and the error will propagate bigger when far from the origin. Based on the previous exercise, the consultant did mention the error can be out to 10-20 meters. In my case I found the old boundary mark where neigbour with this lot and I just need to do fitting to search the relevan old marks.

Contour Interpolation

2009-12-02T20:10:00.000-08:00

Nowadays, the contour is generated by software such as CDS. However, sometime we need to check the generated contour especially where there is a drain or difference in level.

Below is one of the contour error generated by software.

Plan A

If we look at above plan, there is a retaining wall with darken yellow line. The right hand level is 78m while left hand level is 75m. There is 3m difference but the contour lines are going right and left which do not really represent the actual contour on the ground.

Plan B

Above contour regenerated after using breakline or discontinuities in CDS.

What is breakline or discontinuities?

This method is used to identity where the model fails to accurately represent a creek or drain through the surface where we see on plan A.

After identity the error, we need to define breakline strings along the creek or drain.

How to do it?

Firstly, we need to identity where is the drain as centreline and get the points in sequence (don't need to pick all the points. Important to let the software to know where is the centerline).

Example : 1703,1704,1705,......

After that, we need to define left and right. Thus, the best solution to do is export the first dwg out and pick out the information from cad which is more easy.

Look for "Add" option under "String" menu

In the add strings, choose "discon1" in folder, while String ID fill with below info

LB (to signify Left Bank)
CL (to signify centerline)
RB (to signify Right Bank)

Please take note that only use "discon1" because it refer to one surface. If you use "discon2", there is no chances will occur.

Plotter pen setting

2009-12-01T18:30:00.000-08:00

Even through cad software enable us to design or create a drawing with multiple color but usually our plan in monochrome (black and white) which more economic than color printing. It depends on customer requirement and important the charges involved. Practically, plan in monochrome is common requested by customer.

Print in monochrome also need some skills so that the plan looks professional and impression by using type of pen. Before plotter was introduced, draughtman/woman are using technical pen to draw a plan. There are many sizes of technical pen such as 0.1mm, 0.2mm and so on. Similar with plotter, we are able to set the type of pen for plotting.

The standard pen to be used for

white and yellow color is pen 1
green color using pen 2
red color using pen 3
cyan color using pen 4

What is building setback?

2009-12-01T17:57:00.000-08:00

Couple week ago, I had a discussion with local council regarding a bungalow renovation of one of my customers. This bungalow lot is 50 feet (width) and 80 feet (length) with the area of 4000 square feet. There is 10 feet space around the bungalow compound and no access behind the building. The lot is adjoining with neighbor lot and sharing with one chain fence (one boundary line). My customer claimed that the kitchen is small and want to extend another few feet extra since there is additional of 10 feet space before reaching to the fence. My client already asked the contractor to do the measurement and the design. According to the contractor, it is better to get an approval from local council before start the renovation works. Thus, this administration work was passed to me.

Before I met this officer, he requested some documents such as Sale & purchased (S & P) documents, Certificate of fitness of Building (CF) but now architect is issuing form F & the identity card.

When the officer looked at the floor plan in S & P, he immediately said the maximum the building can be extended only 3 feet because no setback behind of the building. What is setback? According to the officer, setback is the distance required by the building law between the edge of the building to the property line (boundary line). If 3 feet is allowable then there is 14 feet balance between 2 houses. It is something like terrace houses with 12-14 feet back lane. I can say the developer or architect is smart in designing the bungalow lot. Instead of surrender the 14 feet to state government, they utilize the back lane and created cluster lot where the access only available at frontage of the building. Subsequently the lot can be declared as bungalow lot and demanded especially from high rank officers around Melaka area. This is another option in optimum your land usage.

Coordinate system in Malaysia cadastral

2009-11-24T23:17:00.000-08:00

From our understanding in Survey Regulations 2009 under clause 39 and 40 stated that Malaysia cadastral is now using coordinate system which is named as NDCDB (National Digital Cadastral Database) based on datum GDM2000.

Emphasis in clause 39, we need to compare "coordinate" and no "bearing & distance" like those day to ensure the old mark in position. The deviation still remain as previous, 50mm for urban and 0.1m for rural survey.

There is no baseline needed in this regulation and surveyor able to plant marks according to NDCDB coordinate which is available from JUPEM. NDCDB is adjusted based on least square adjustment method and cause the present PA value (rigid coordinate) can't be used in this new system. A new challenge for exisitng licensed land surveyor in Peninsular Malaysia.

Mission fail

2009-11-24T22:31:00.000-08:00

This time we never expected our survey mission will fail because no boundary marks were found along the boundary.

This is a hilly area and you can see the cloud during morning time. A beautiful scenario.

This was around 8 o'clock early in the morning.

What is EMR in title?

2009-11-18T19:57:00.000-08:00

This was a question posted by one of my planter friends on last year. In fact I never heard about it before until recently I found this article regarding types of title in Malaysia. According to this article, EMR title was registed during 1894-1946 under one system created by British ruler and the system was named as Federated Malay States or Negeri-negeri Melayu Bersekutuan. This kind of title was registered before National Land Code 1965 and the title still valid under provision section 160 National Land Code. EMR also known as Entry in the Mukim Register or Daftar Mukim.

Another title by the name of TLO in Johor and until today I still do not what it means. Highly appreciated if somebody can give the story of TLO in Johor.

Purchased Digi reload mobile by handphone (mymode system)

2009-11-17T23:38:00.000-08:00

I have been in Mymode system since last year April 2008 and the purpose I joined this system no really for business but more no convenience. Previously I need to buy the reload card from the shop and it was very troublesome. Sometime the stocks are no available and I need go to others shop. One of the advantages of using mymode system is you are able to reload your prepaid at any time provided your mymode account has money (now they called as my-point). I am a land surveyor and usually I need to go outstation. By using this system I am able to reload my phone and my boy's phone is just a few seconds without seaching the phone shop.

Previuosly, Mymode system only allow the purchase Celcom & Maxis reload but this morning I am able to reload Digi which belong to my father.

When you register with mymode system, they will provide a website for you to monitor purchase activities. The best part of using this system is you do not need to buy at retail rate because mymode will give a discount price for you.

Plantation Road reserve in Malaysia

2009-11-15T22:09:00.000-08:00

This piece of agriculture land was located near to jungle reserve and surrounded by Felca land. I understood that the plantation management were using the existing road since the land owner bought the land. Usually, the plantation road access is following the gentle of contour. In those day, the planter was the first person walked in the field and subsequently they will marked the road before constructing by heavy machine without assisting from land surveyor or contour plan. It happened in most of the plantation in Malaysia, they usually need to go through neighbor land before reaching their plantation and normally those road user has good rapport with the road owner by maintaining the road or some tokens for appreciating.

Maintaining road is part of the planter responsibility to allow the excavation of crop in daily and the maintenance cost also part of the major cost in plantation. This is why my friend concern about the road reserve. He is worrying perhaps one day the neighbor land owner does not allow the public to access the land due to certain reason such like replanting, theft activities or others reason. Thus, he asked me to investigate the road access to this plantation.

How to find the road access in Malaysia? The easy way is go to survey department and get a copy of standard sheet. The road access information is available in this plan. The second method is using google earth where the road access will appeal in this free program providing you know the lot or area. Difficulty to locate your lot in google earth , please kindly contact me and I will assist you.

Assume that there is no road reserve available for this particular land then what should the management do? National Land Code has a special provision to this kind of case and it call it as “Right of way” under section 391. There are 2 types of “right of way”. Public and private “right of way”.

Public right of way is an application for public user and the maintenance cost is borne by state government. We can see it in rural area especially in kampong.

Private right of way is an application for self interest and the right of access to a particular land without sharing with other user. State government does not bear the maintenance cost.

The application can be carried out by licensed land surveyor because a details plan need to provide while application. No premium was involved but compensation need to pay if there is any damage of feature such as tree, building or etc.

How to read scale in plan?

2009-11-12T20:21:00.000-08:00

"Lai, what it means 1 : 500 in your survey plan? " This is one of my customers ask me regarding scale in plan. Basically, our plotting plan paper are in standard ISO paper saiz A1 (594mm x 841mm) , A2 (420mm x 594mm) , A3 (297mm x 420mm) and A4 (210mm x 297mm). Due to the limitation of the paper saiz, we need to "squeeze" the actual length or dimension into the plotting paper with a collect scale and this is the professional of land survey. The customer is able to measure the length or dimension in the plan without going down to the site by apply the factor scale.

There are 2 ways of knowing the actual length or dimension in the scale plan.

a. By using below formula (we learn in primary school)

i. 1km = 1000m

ii. 1 m = 100 cm

iii. 1 cm = 10 mm

For this case 1 : 500 means

1mm : 500 mm or

1mm : 50 cm (by divide 10mm to get cm) or

1mm : 0.5 m (by divide 100cm to get meter)

b. The seconds way is buying a scale ruler and straight forward you can get the answer from the ruler.

Please kindly bear in mind that the digital data is in 1 : 1 even the plan show 1 : xxxx. The scale only apply on hardcopy plan only.

River in National Land Code 1965 and Water Act 1920

2009-11-11T20:10:00.000-08:00

I just back from Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan on yesterday and as usual the local people will post me a lot questions while I did the survey. There is a river (Sg. pertam) beside the lot and according to the owner of the land. Last month there was some cleaning activities at the side of the river and somebody want to plant oil palm along this river bank. In fact, the oil palm planting activities has been carried out by the local people for quite some time in this river bank with fencing and now they try to extend the area. Thus, the land owner want to me to verify his boundary before this "illegal" activity occur inside his land. One of the question he asked me was "what is the reserve width from river" and this question has been anwsered by one of the blogger by the name of AK7377. According to Water Act 1920 under section 14 , the reserve is 50 feet from any river bank but in National Land Code 1965, the provision under section 13 stated that the reserve is 50m from river bank.

How many Bungalow lot I can get from my agriculture land?

This chinese fruit farmer awared that his land has potential to convert into bungalow lot due to high demand of his area even though his land still remain less than 60 years before need to surrender to local authority. This is why one of blogger mentioned that licensed land surveyor like gold craftman. We are able to convert an unvalued agriculture land into golden land by converting the land into housing, bungalow or industry lot. Licensed land surveyor able to make rich people become richer when use this leverage.

Normally the land owner will ask how many bungalow lot he will get from the original lot. Usually, bungalow lot must more than 5000 sq feet and at least 40 feet road access. 1.5 acres should be get about 10 lots but some planner will say about 8 lots due to certain planner laws.

Thus, if you have money. Please do not keep in bank. Invest in property such like this fruit farmer. Let say after converting the land and he sell 1 sq foot RM10 then 1 bungalow lot will be RM50,000. (maybe too cheap....just for calculation)....here has 10 lot...easily half a million. am I right.
