(1a) For the purpose of Clause (1)— (a) “transfer” includes any charge, transmission or vesting, or creation of any lien or trust, or entry of any caveat, [Article 90] Federal Constitution 84 or any other form of dealing or disposal of whatever description or nature; and (b) “lease” includes any tenancy of whatever form or duration. (2) Notwithstanding anything in this Constitution, the existing law in the State of Terengganu with respect to Malay holdings shall continue in force until otherwise provided by an Enactment of the Legislature of that State passed and approved as described in Clause (1) of Article 89. (3) Any such Enactment of the Legislature of the State of Terengganu may make provision for Malay reservations corresponding with the existing law in force in any other State of a Ruler; and in that event the said Article 89 shall have effect in relation to Terengganu subject to the following modifications, that is to say: (a) in Clause (1), for the reference to land which immediately before Merdeka Day was a Malay reservation in accordance with the existing law, there shall be substituted a reference to land which, immediately before the passing of the said Enactment, was a Malay holding; and (b) subject as aforesaid, any reference to the existing law shall be construed as a reference to the said Enactment.
