A notice posted by MBPJ on its website and social media platforms that it would not be posting physical copies of its assessment bills starting 2021 and urged ratepayers to check and pay their bills via its eCukai@MBPJ app.
Ratepayers under the jurisdiction of Petaling jaya City Council (MBPJ) have had to face a harsh reality this year.
In its enthusiasm to go digital, MBPJ is demanding that payment for assessment bills be made only through digital means, without an alternative.
It also said that the council would not make exceptions for late payments, a harsh action that reflected how the local government had not considered the plight of the digitally disadvantaged.
