Hi, before covid, i bought a house, and the SPA was signed BEFORE March 2020, so i got the moratorium with Maybank (which is fine).

then covid happened, house became mine (my name is on the grant tanah) somewhere in May 2020.

Moved to the house in January 2021, and stayed there since.

i noticed that my cukai pintu/tanah still has the name of the old owner.

So i went to Majlis Perbandaran Kajang (my house in Kajang), and i plan to change the name to mine, and i notice this clause.....

LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT, 1976
SECTION 160.

(1) Whenever any rateable holding within a local authority area is sold or transferred it shall be the duty of the seller or transferor and the purchaser or transferee within three months after such sale or transfer to give notice thereof to the local authority in Form I of the First Schedule hereto.

&

(6) Every person failing to give any notice shall on conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding two thousand ringgit or to a term of imprisonment not exceeding six months or with both.

Now its August 2022, which is WAY passed the 3 months period to change name......what should i do? just maintain the old owners name on the cukai pintu/tanah? (i pay accordingly anyway, no penalty so far). I dont want to go to jail for that.......
