“Property owners can also settle the assessment tax bill at local agencies such as Post Offices in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya; Tenaga Nasional Berhad and Telekom Malaysia Berhad for the area of Shah Alam only, by bringing with them the original assessment bill on or before 28 February,” he said in a statement yesterday.
