Review parcel rent policy, state urged


Unit owners at Rifle Range Flats previously did not pay any quit rent but now have to pay RM25.

THE Penang government has been urged to review its parcel rent (cukai petak) policy which is claimed to have added an unnecessary burden on the people.

Gerakan vice-president Datuk Baljit Singh alleged that the state government had been ‘profiteering’ tremendously from the parcel rent as the rates had shot up.
