JOHOR Baru City Council (MBJB) has been selected as the first local authority in the state for the MyAduan Johor pilot project, says mayor Datuk Mohd Haffiz Ahmad.
He said the system, mooted by Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, was being developed to provide a more systematic and accountable approach to managing public complaints.
“A series of meetings and workshops had been held since last December to develop and refine the system.
“These officers are responsible for coordinating investigations, ensuring timely follow-ups and updating complaint status in the system,” Mohd Haffiz said during MBJB’s monthly full board meeting at Menara MBJB in Johor Baru.
He said the system currently focused on five key categories: roads and street furniture (including lights and traffic systems), drainage, trees and landscaping, public cleanliness, and animal disturbances.
He added that other complaints would continue to be managed under the existing public complaints management system (Sispaa).
“I hope that with the introduction of the system, the handling of public complaints will be effective and efficient, ultimately strengthening service delivery to the community,” said Mohd Haffiz.
He also said that implementation across all local councils in Johor would be carried out in stages.
He disclosed that MBJB had received over 10,000 complaints across 29 sub-categories this year.
“The highest number of complaints were related to trees (2,242 cases), followed by road conditions (2,204), lighting issues (1,597), parking (1,278), pests (980) and animal disturbances (941).
“As of June 26, 9,996 complaints have been resolved, with 64.58% of the cases addressed within 15 days,” the mayor said.
