Ratbusters, it's time to look out for those pesky rodents lurking around town this week because you could be rewarded for it.
Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) has thought up a new way to control the rodent population in the city by giving out RM3 for each rat caught.
The Star reported that people can claim their reward from the council's officers stationed at the SS2 basketball court in Jalan SS2/61 from 9am to 11am every day until Thursday, 7 December.

However, there is a catch.
MBPJ won't accept just any Tom, Dick and Jerry. You must be a resident in Petaling Jaya and your rodent frenemy must also be caught from within the city in order to receive your reward.
But how can MBPJ officers tell where the rats came from? It's not like they will have collars hanging around their necks, right? We'll just have to give Petaling Jaya mayor Datuk Mohd Azizi Mohd Zain and his team the benefit of doubt.
MPBJ are currently working hard to reduce the rat population using methods like traps and poison, but their efforts would go to waste if public and commercial areas remain unclean.
This year alone, MBPJ reportedly received 55 rodent-related complaints and caught 1,587 rats in the city.
So the city launched this campaign to urge residents and shop owners to keep their premises clean at all times. Another method is for shop owners to engage pest control companies to put this problem to a stop once and for all.
