Ahmad Phesal Wants To Bring DBKL Closer To The People

KUALA LUMPUR (July 18): New Kuala Lumpur Mayor, Datuk Ahmad Phesal Talib, wants to bring Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) closer to the people, especially the city folks, by ensuring they receive the best service.

He gave the assurance that DBKL would respond to all their complaints.

"We also want the society to help us by giving us suggestions on how to improve our services so that we can provide them with the best service," he told reporters at the DBKL Tower here Wednesday.

Ahmad Phesal, who started work as the 10th Kuala Lumpur Mayor today, was giving a rousing welcome by his staff. The former Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing secretary-general replaces Tan Sri Ahmad Fuad Ismail, whose term expired last July 15.

Ahmad Phesal said he would focus on town maintenance, like cleanliness, lamp posts, bill boards and road maintenance, to provide a better environment and living condition for the people. — Bernama
