In that case could you please explain
1. What is the justification for the increase, cost from 1992 - 2014. Cost has increased granted but by how many %? and of that cost how much is actually used for maintenance as per increase in yoy cost? You can't tell me cost has increased by 10% then turn around and give the datuk bandar big fat bonus (of course cost is going to increase la)
2. The reason why our roads cost so much to maintain is because the job is not done properly in the first place and secondly there is not stop korek korek korek everyday also korek like our roads have gold underneath. But if maintaining the roads is such a high cost what pray tell is costing so much? (paving? tar? labor?)
3. I hope I live to see the day KL can be considered a world class city but at the moment the gripe seems to be with wastages, corruption and just total lack of trust that the funds would be put to good use. Anyway you said some would pay more some would pay less, could you please elaborate with an example.
Thanks.
1. The increase is for the Annual Value. The Annual Value is based on the total annual rental rate. The rent in 1992 is lower than 2013, therefore the Annual Value revision is reflecting the current market rental rates for the properties. This Annual Value is one of the factors which determine Cukai Pintu paid. For the future projection of Income Vs Expenditure for City Hall to maintain KL, please go to

3. Yes, KL as a world class city is achievable. Some would pay more or some would pay less this year for Assessment Rate. Here are two real world examples:
A. A medium-cost apartment in Kepong.
Old Annual Value: RM9,000
Old Assessment Rate Percentage (Residential): 6%
Old Assessment Rate paid: RM540
New Annual Value: RM12,000
New Assessment Rate Percentage (Residential): 4%
New Assessment Rate paid: RM480
So this is a decrease of RM60.
B. Vacant Land - Commercial in Bukit Bintang
Old Annual Value: RM2,226,500
Old Assessment Rate Percentage (Vacant Lot - Commercial): 10%
Old Assessment Rate paid: RM222,650
New Annual Value: RM7,634,000
New Assessment Rate Percentage (Vacant Lot - Commercial): 7%
New Assessment Rate paid: RM534,380
Increase of RM311,730
