Having served the local council for 37 years, A. Rajendran is now the fourth MBPP mayor.
After graduating with an engineering degree, his first posting was at the Public Works Department in Kuala Lumpur.“Another reason was because I was born and raised in Penang.“But it never crossed my mind that I would one day become mayor,” said Rajendran, 60, who hails from Ayer Itam.
Hitting the ground running, Rajendran said the main issues on the island were cleanliness and traffic congestion.“The process of educating people and enforcement actions will continue. “Part of my main focus will be to improve the general well- being of the people of Penang, especially in terms of cleanliness, public transport system, climate change resilience, digital transformation project and age-friendly city initiatives,” he said.
“The style of administration might be different but the goal will still be the same which is to improve and preserve the quality of life of residents on the island in line with the state government’s Penang2030 vision,” Chow said.
