Aiming for growth

On the job: Nor Hisham, who took over from Datuk Asmawi Kasbi, flipping through some files in the council president’s office.

THIS year, the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) has to concentrate on improving on basic services such as garbage disposal, keeping drains clean, cut grass and prune trees with its limited budget.
