Section 75

shall not be disposed of or used for any purposes other than federal purposes without the consent of the Federal

Government; and

shall not by virtue of this subsection be used for federal purposes different from the purposes for which it was used immediately before Malaysia Day without the consent of the government of the State and, where it ceases to be used for those purposes and that consent is not given, shall be offered to the State accordingly.

For the purposes of subsection (1) “federal purposes”

includes the provision of government quarters for the holders of federal office or employment; but the subsection shall not apply to any land by reason of its having been used by any government for providing government quarters other than those regarded by that government as institutional quarters.

Property and assets other than land which immediately before Malaysia Day were used by the government of a Borneo

State or of Singapore in maintaining government services shall be apportioned between the Federation and the State with regard to the needs of the Federal and State governments respectively to have the use of the property and assets for Federal or State services, and (subject to any agreement to the contrary between

Act 26/1963

the governments concerned) a corresponding apportionment as at the date shall be made of other assets of the State (but not including land) and of the burden, as between the Federation and the State, of any financial liabilities of the State (including future debt charges in respect of those liabilities); and there shall be made all such transfers and payments as may be necessary to give effect to any apportionment under this subsection.

In this section, references to the government of a State include the government of the territories comprised therein before

Malaysia Day.
