TO be effective, councillors need to understand the views of the people they represent to facilitate communication between the community and local council, says Cheremi Tarman, Shah Alam’s 11th mayor.

In a simple ceremony held at the Shah Alam City Council’s (MBSA) headquarters, Cheremi, 59, took his oath of office.
