Nine councils in Selangor want control of community centres returned to them

1 This hall located in Jalan Sri Serawak 1 in Taman Sri Andalas, Klang is one of the halls that have not been taken over by the Klang Municipal Council.2 This hall located in Jalan Seri Sedeli 4, Taman Sri Andalas has become a storage area for sports equipment, tables and chairs to be used as a place for the community to meet.3 This hall in Taman Sri Andalas is still operating under a political party.4 The basketball court at one of the halls in Taman Sri Andalas is in bad condition.

IT HAS been more than seven years since the call was made by the state government to “return” the management of all community halls in Selangor to the authorities; yet it still has not been done.

This is the dilemma faced by nine districts in Selangor where the community halls are still managed by political parties.
