TAWAU: The Tawau Municipal Council (MPT) yesterday launched an electronic payment system, MPTPay, to make it easier for the locals to pay assessment rates and land tax via mobile phones and computers.
MPT President, Alijus Sipil said the application, which could be downloaded through Google Play Store or the MPT website, would also facilitate the public to make payment involving licences, permits and compounds.
“MPTPay is a user- f r iendly system and it is hope that it will increase MPT management revenue and reduce payment arrears,” he told a press conference after launching the MPTPay and MobilityMPT here yesterday.
Alijus said the MobilityMPT, a mobile payment machine, was also launched yesterday. He said the MPT had worked wi th two companies, namely, Menggaris IT Sdn Bhd and Mobility One Sdn Bhd to develop the MPTPay and MobilityMPT services. – Bernama
