Grassroots lawmaker Au Kam San said yesterday the Land Law would go backwards if the government is given even more discretion when dealing with land concessions, adding that he would oppose any changes to the law aiming to increase the government’s discretion on land issues.
Au also said that that anyone or any company having doubts about a particular law should go to court to ask for an interpretation as the Legislative Assembly shouldn’t involve itself with the interpretation of laws.
The veteran lawmaker made the remarks on the sidelines of a seminar about the Land Law at the Diocesan Pastoral Youth Centre near the Red Market.
