BALING, May 5 (Bernama) -- Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) has to pay the Kedah government RM1.7 million in quit rent as the state Land and Mines Office (PTG) has rejected the university's application for a rebate, Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak said.He said legal action would be taken against the university if it failed to make the payment within the stipulated period.
"The university has appealed, but PTG did not approve it. So the university has to pay soon or it can be charged a penalty of more than RM90,000 or the land will be seized," he told reporters after visiting the site for the construction of the Kolej Universiti Insaniah campus at Kuala Ketil here Wednesday.
He said the rate of RM0.20 per sq ft of the UUM land was far lower than the rate imposed on other universities, like Universiti Sains Malaysia in Penang, which was RM2.50 per sq ft, and Universiti Teknologi Mara, at RM0.50 per sq ft.
Last month, UUM, through its treasurer, had sent a letter to PTG seeking to be given a rebate on the quit rent for another five years after the expiry of the previous rebate in 2008.
During the rebate period, UUM only had to pay RM150,000 in quit rent.
On UUM's intention to turn its area into a duty free zone, Azizan said it would affect the quit rent rate.
"If it is a duty free area, we will consider a new rate because the rate for commercial land is different," he added.
tunku : this is how pas government works. azizan is talking craps.he only needs to direct PTG to give the rebate but no, they want to make money out of this too.why before 2008 PTG can give the rebate and not now? it is not PTG but the kedah state government which don't want to give the rebate. this is how they generate revenue for the state after they fails to get thru economic developments.

Cukai pendapatn ta mahu bayar, cukai pintu ta mahu bayar, cukai tanah ta mahu bayar. Macam mana ini. Kalau kita ta bayar cukai kerajaan ta boleh jalan. Jangan negara in jadi satu negara di mana ada pertubuhan pertubuhan exclusive.
Kita semu mesti begembira bila kita bayar cukai. Kalu tidak kerajaan ta boleh jalan.
kalau kerajaan bn minta cukai ke apa ke, pandai korang menyalak. ni uum, institusi pengajian awam yg tak berasaskan keuntungan bukannya shopping complex.
Hello rumah orang yang sudah pencen pun kena bayar cukai tanah, chkai pintu dan cukai pendapatan lebeh daripada pencen. OYD kalau dah buat keputusan boleh lah rayu. Kalau tak lulus bayar lah. Dan sebelum kita sokong atau tak sokong kita mesti tahu daripada siapa University in telah beli tapak tanah itu.
rumah org pencen sama dgn uum ke?? bodoh betul la penyokong pakatan ni.
Hello Anon 12:11,
Jangan lupa Budi Bahasa Budaya Kita.
isu sini ialah kegagalan kerajaan pakatan membantu uum.selama ini diberi rebat kenapa skrg hendak ditarik balik,memang kerajaan negeri gagal mentadbir kedah dgn baik. bila sudah kurang sumber mula membuat perlaksanaan yg salah.
