Focusing on DBKL and its poor public services

  DBKL’s services have deteriorated over the past 30 years since I started to highlight its poor services in the early 90s.  This is despite complaints having been highlighted in the past few weeks. The pothholes at the junction between Jalan Lang Emas and Jalan Burung Hantu, for example, have not been repaired till now. One can only wonder why the director of public relations Zurida Hashim and the mayor, Datuk Kamaruzzaman Mat Salleh are doing.

Minister of Local Government may need to start putting some focus soon on DBKL It is time to revamp the archaic DBKL, before the next Agong takes over in just over a month. DBKL needs a lot of cleaning up. It was on my radar for at least 10 years when I started stringing with Malay Mail, NST Streets and Star Metro because of DBKL. Recently Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye managed to meet the mayor after I connected them over the condition of a park . According to Lee, app that the mayor did was to pay lip service to him. He had a difficult time even trying to fix an ap...
