HOTELS or motels under the moratorium list for unlicensed hotels which have yet to obtain a temporary operating permit or apply for one, will have to pay triple the amount for their temporary permits for the
new term from Nov 1 to next year on Oct 31.
State Local Government, Traffic Management and Flood Mitigation Committee chairman Chow Kon Yeow said some 20 businesses out of 191 hotels and dormitories which had ignored or failed to submit an application, would still be able to apply for the temporary permits but at a higher rate of RM9,600.
