KL mayor has high hopes for the city in 2017

Plans for the year: (Clockwise from top left) Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) plans to ensure more affordable housing for city folks. On the green front, Selangor and Kuala Lumpur become polystyrene free yesterday but DBKL will only start enforcing the rule come Sept 1. In Klang, residents can look forward to the opening of the long-awaited third bridge and in Petaling Jaya, the local authority will hand over 74,000 garbage bins to residents in landed properties for better waste management.

AS THE new year dawns, Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Seri Mohd Amin Nordin Abd Aziz speaks to StarMetro about the progress made in 2016, and shares plans for what city folk can expect in 2017.

What’s new?
