Melaka: Hang Tuah Jaya Municipal Council (MPHTJ) is offering discounts of up to 80 per cent on selected compounds during the Wakil Rakyat Untuk Rakyat (WRUR) programme for the Kesidang state constituency from today until June 13.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, MPHTJ president Datuk Sapiah Haron stated that residents have the opportunity to settle their compounds at different venues during the program. These venues include Madrasah Al-Jariah, Taman Melaka Baru 3 today, the Kesidang State Constituency Development and Coordination Committee office from June 8 to 12, and Sekolah Kebangsaan Taman Merdeka on June 13.

"The initiative is aimed at encouraging the public to settle outstanding compounds, including parking offences, through MPHTJ's mobile payment counter at WRUR programme venues," she explained to reporters at the Jalinan Mesra Perpaduan @ KRT Kesidang programme at Madrasah Al-Jariah.

The event, which coincided with the WRUR Kesidang programme, was officiated by Melaka Executive Councillor for Entrepreneur Development, Cooperatives and Consumer Affairs Allex Seah Shoo Chin, who is also the Kesidang state assemblyman.

Sapiah clarified that the discount offer is not applicable to compounds related to earthworks, operations, compounds with summons status, or court action cases.

In addition to the discount initiative, Sapiah noted that MPHTJ is dedicating RM40,000 monthly for tree-cutting and pruning efforts within its administrative area to maintain cleanliness and landscape quality, ensuring resident safety.

She also mentioned that the council will organize a large-scale community clean-up event at Taman Merdeka on June 13 as part of the WRUR programme.
