Mahadi was quoted as saying, “Public expectations are getting higher and higher. Therefore, DBKL must work harder to increase its efficiency and create a dynamic urban environment, not only in terms of its attractiveness and liveability but more importantly to become the country’s economic driver.”
He further stated that many efforts are being made to improve the city, including first and last-mile connectivity. Traffic management has improved with the installation of CCTV cameras.
“Efforts are also being taken to make Kuala Lumpur as an investor-friendly city in order to create more job opportunities and reduce the unemployment rate,” he added.
DBKL is also focusing on urban planning like low carbon emission, congestion-free, pedestrian-friendly and having adequate facilities.
