Sistem Cukai Petak dilaksana 1 Jan 2020 - Khalid

Kementerian Wilayah Persekutuan akan melaksanakan sistem Cukai Petak bagi menggantikan sistem Cukai Tanah mulai 1 Jan 2020.

Menterinya Khalid Abd Samad berkata cukai tersebut merupakan cukai dikenakan ke atas hak milik strata dan ia sudah dilaksanakan di Selangor serta bakal diguna pakai di Pulau Pinang dan Melaka.

"Sistem Cukai Petak ini akan memberi banyak manfaat terutamanya bagi bangunan atau kawasan berstrata kerana ia akan memberi sedikit kebebasan kepada pemilik bagi pengurusan pembayaran yang mana sebelum ini bergantung kepada Badan Pengurusan Bersama (JMB)," katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian pada sidang media selepas mempengerusikan mesyuarat Majlis Menteri Wilayah Persekutuan di sini, pada Selasa.

Turut hadir Datuk Bandar Kuala Lumpur, Datuk Nor Hisham Ahmad Dahlan dan Ketua Setiausaha baharu kementerian itu, Datuk Seri Saripudin Kasim.

Mengenai cadangan memendekkan waktu operasi pusat hiburan, Khalid berkata pusat hiburan di ibu kota yang mempunyai lesen operasi sehingga 3 atau 5 pagi, boleh meneruskan operasi masing-masing seperti biasa namun perlu mematuhi syarat-syarat ditetapkan.

Anggota Parlimen Shah Alam itu berkata daripada keseluruhan 672 pusat hiburan di ibu negara, 24 daripadanya memiliki lesen operasi sehingga 5 pagi, manakala 118 premis di pusat bandar dan 31 premis di luar bandar beroperasi sehingga 3 pagi.

"Sementara itu terdapat 233 premis hiburan beroperasi sehingga 2 pagi, 47 premis hiburan beroperasi sehingga 1 pagi manakala 219 premis tutup pada 12 tengah malam," katanya.

Consider This: Transnational Repression (Part 2) — Are Our Governments Enabling It?

Authoritarian regimes don’t stop at their own borders—often reaching across countries to track, detain, and deport refugees, activists, and migrants. This is transnational repression: when a state extends its repression beyond its own beyond their borders to control or punish its citizens abroad. Malaysia and Thailand, two of Southeast Asia’s biggest hubs for migrants and refugees, have become key battlegrounds for transnational repression. With Malaysia helming ASEAN chair this year, what role does the region play in resisting, or enabling, transnational repression? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Krittaporn Semsantad, Programme Director at the Bangkok-based Peace Rights Foundation.
