Amidst the furor over having to pay higher property assessment fees in Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territories Minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor used a rather off-colour analogy to justify the increase.
"If you enhance your property, it is the same as women. If you don't wear make up, the price is cheaper, right?
"If you wear make up, it is pricier. Isn't it the same?" said Tengku Adnan during a press conference on the assessment rates today.
During the press conference in Kuala Lumpur, Tengku Adnan revealed luxury and commercial property owners will have to payhigher fees while fees for low and medium cost property owners will remain at status quo.
He also announced that there will be rebates for disabled people, pensioners and those who can prove that they stay in the properties.
To a question about whether the rebate will be applied to those who own multiple properties, Tengku Adnan replied in the negative, and again using women as part of his explanation.
"We only give for one house. The owner cannot claim that they live in more than one house. Even if they have three wives, we only allow them to claim one house.
"It is impossible that he can live in three houses," he said.
