KUALA LUMPUR: Some of the seven technical departments involved in the issuance of certificates of fitness will be removed from the process in an attempt to reduce the number of complaints about bureaucracy, said Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting.
Under current requirements, a housing developer is obliged to obtain clearance from the Waterworks Department, Tenaga Nasional, Telekom Malaysia, Public Works Department, Fire and Rescue Department, Drainage and Irrigation Department and Town Planning Department before going to the local authorities to apply for the CF.
