Seputeh MP moots ‘councillor system’ in Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur MPs need help addressing the various problems and complaints faced by the city’s residents, says Teresa Kok.

Teresa Kok says an amendment to the Capital City Act 1960 is required for the appointment of councillors to assist in the administration of Kuala Lumpur.

She said the Federal Capital Act 1960, which governs the manner in which the city is run, must be amended to allow for the appointment of councillors to improve the manner in which the city communicates with, and responds to, its residents. Under Section 6 of the Act, the board’s role only involves advising the mayor on matters connected with the administration of the city and addressing questions referred to it by the ministry or the mayor.“Councillors play an important role in shouldering the burden, and they can also monitor DBKL’s operations,” she said.Ng said the introduction of a councillor system in Kuala Lumpur would allow for improved implementation of policies on the ground.

Meanwhile, Kok lauded the mayor and DBKL for according greater respect and recognition to the city’s political representatives.
