MIRI: Miri City Council’s (MCC) Rating and Valuation Department will hold several activities to appreciate all the rate payers here in conjunctio­n with Miri City’s 15th anniversar­y this year.

Mayor Adam Yii said this was their initiative to encourage rate payers to settle their assessment bills before the due date.

“In previous years we conducted lucky draws which offered attractive prizes for the winners. We want to make something different this year by having a Miri City Virtual Run 2020 and Assessment Rate promotion,” he told a press conference on Tuesday.

To be eligible for the 5km run, Yii said one must pay one’s assessment bill for the whole year before the Oct 31 due date.

“The run is not applicable to those with outstandin­g assessment and also those who enjoy 100 per cent waiver.”
