KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 25): Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) is redevloping old council flats in an effort to provide 50,000 affordable homes in the city.

Mayor Datuk Mhd Amin Nordin Abdul Aziz said DBKL had so far approved the development of about 25,000 affordable homes.

Mhd Amin, who was appointed to the post on July 18, said DBKL would improve its delivery system by restructuring its organisation early this month.

"I will use my 37 years experience serving DBKL to provide the best for Kuala Lumpur with the cooperation of the city folk," he added. Mhd Amin said he would also focus on maintenance of public facilities.

As Kuala Lumpur is a densely populated and developed city, he said DBKL is among local government authorities with the highest number of complaints.He assured the public that efforts would be made to resolve all complaints forwarded by city folks.

He is also determined to make Kuala Lumpur a cheerful city by organising various recreational programmes and activities.

Mhd Amin said he would address issues on foreign citizens, imitation goods, vice and gambling in the city, by working closely with the relevant agencies, like the police, Immigration Department and the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry.

He said the RM4 billion allocation set aside for the city's five-year development plan would be fully utilised to provide the best basic facilities towards making Kuala Lumpur a world-class city.

He intends to continue with existing programmes, such as Car Free Morning, the building of bicycle lanes in the city, the greening of Kuala Lumpur and the monitoring of hillslope development.
