DATUK Seri Ahmad Phesal Talib was appointed the 10th mayor of Kuala Lumpur on July 18, 2012. Even though the former Federal Territories Ministry secretary-general had only been in office for one-and-a-half years, he brings with him over 35 years of experience in public service.
The mayor’s vast experience in planning and development has resulted in Kuala Lumpur scoring some brownie points during his tenure. In an exclusive interview with StarMetro, the mayor offers solutions to several problems that have been plaguing city residents for many years.
