    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is no magic in those numbers. There are longer leases for 999 years and even 9999 years under our old constitutional order. However, currently, I can assure you that whenever any leases are being granted or renewed, they are not renewed for a period of more than 45 years, if their use is commercial. We are trying to restrict 99 years leases to residential properties only. That is because of family connections and sentimentality. We are prepared to give a longer period. However, there is no magic in 99 or 999 years. Always, in the spirit of the law, if you want to give 100 years which is a Century, you would subtract one year from that period. If another person wanted to have the lease transferred to them, it would be subtracted by a day or an hour so that there is consistence between leases especially when there are several of them. However, there is no magic behind the numbers."
