RESIDENTS of Pandan Perdana in Ampang, Selangor, are shocked by the assessment rate hike for their properties under Ampang Jaya Municipal Council’s (MPAJ) property revaluation exercise which started in April.

Christina Yap Peak Kun, 58, who sees a 25% hike in assessment rate for her property, said the increase was heavy for her and some of her neighbours.
