PTGS has implemented an online payment scheme for parcel rent at https://ehasil.selangor.gov.my

THE inability of joint management bodies (JMB) and management committees (MC) to collect fees from residents is a common problem at high-rises, especially when part of the monies owed is for quit rent or land tax.

Failure to pay has a multi-fold effect on the unit owner, particularly when trying to sell or wanting to transfer ownership.
