Section 14

A Local Authority may at any time cause the whole or any part of any land within its jurisdiction to be entered upon, examined and surveyed and the circumstances and requirements thereof to be investigated for the purpose of deciding whether or not a scheme should be made in respect of any such land or any part thereof and of making such scheme if decided upon.

19

Any person authorised in that behalf in writing by a Local Authority may, for the purpose of any entry, examination, survey, or investigation which a Local Authority is authorised by this section to cause to be made, and on production of such written authority, enter and there do any thing which such person shall reasonably consider to be necessary for the said purpose:

Provided that no person shall enter into any building or into or upon any enclosed yard, court or garden attached to any dwelling-house, unless with the consent of the occupier thereof, without previously giving such occupier at least seven days’ notice in writing of his intention so to do.

Every person who wilfully obstructs or interferes with any other person in the exercise by such other person of any power vested in him by virtue of this section shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable, on conviction, to a penalty of not exceeding twenty thousand ringgit.
