SMALL MATTER MAKE IT BIG

Since Pakatan Rakyat won the Pokok Assam State and Taiping Parliamentary seat, previous Barisan Nasional state government were always in a limelight.
'Ho, who was a former state exco member, said the discount for industrial land was introduced by the Barisan-led state government since 2006.“We had two state exco meetings before the state assembly was dissolved to make way for the March 8 general election and I recalled that it was decided that the discount would be made effective until 2008.“I hope industrial land owners in Perak will bring along their old receipts when paying their quit rent to avoid having to pay more than required'.
The Taiping Municipal council should also have the previous copy of any payment in their own files. Improper filing and the attitude of the staff in Taiping Municipal council lead to their work done by Rakyat not them. Change the new Taiping Municipal council staffs and chairman unless they will change. Do not find ways to put the money in the pocket such as buying unnecessary decorative road lamps.
According to last week metro from TheStar, SHOPKEEPERS in Taman Kota Jaya in Taiping, Perak, are unhappy that the drain in front of their shops is clogged with garbage. I don't think the drain is clogged overnight. Why only last week the shopkeepers in Taman Kota Jaya complained? Previous Barisan Nasional state government no doing their job? They plea for the Pakatan Rakyat to help them, is it?
Reference from TheStar, IT pays to keep old receipts as businessman Ang Poh Tit found out recently.
Ang, who runs a factory, said the habit had helped him save RM515, the amount he was requested to pay to the district land office as part of the quit rent for his plot of industrial land in Kampung Benggali, Taiping.
“The RM515 was actually a discount introduced by the previous Barisan Nasional state go-vernment.
“The actual annual quit rent payment was RM2,518 and after deducting the RM515 discount, a move introduced by the former state government since 2006, I need only pay RM1,967 for the plot,” he said.However, recently Ang receiv-ed a demand to pay up his quit rent minus the printed word discount as being done by the land office previously.
“But when I showed my old quit rent payment receipt and after much persuasion, the counter clerk agreed to include the RM515 discount,” said Ang.
Ang said that if the current Pa-katan Rakyat-led state government wanted to do away with the discount, the matter should be made public.
Perak MCA secretary Datuk Ho Cheng Wang, who was present, said he feared other industrial land owners might overlook the matter.
Ho, who was a former state exco member, said the discount for industrial land was introduced by the Barisan-led state government since 2006.
“We had two state exco meetings before the state assembly was dissolved to make way for the March 8 general election and I recalled that it was decided that the discount would be made effective until 2008.
“I hope industrial land owners in Perak will bring along their old receipts when paying their quit rent to avoid having to pay more than required,” said Ho, adding that the deadline to make such quit rent payment would expire soon, following which a late-payment penalty would be imposed.
