Melaka aims to become squeaky clean city again


MELAKA: All the four local councils are to get down to work to make the historical city “squeaky clean” again, says Datuk Sulaiman Md Ali.

The Chief Minister said he hoped the mayor and three council presidents would work towards improving cleanliness as one of their top priorities.

“Hopefully, we can regain our crown as one of the cleanest cities in the country,” he said after the swearing-in ceremony yesterday.

Datuk Zainal Abu was reappointed as the new mayor for Melaka Historic City Council.The other new council presidents were Mohd Fadhil Hassan (Alor Gajah), Sapiah Haron (Jasin) and Shadan Othman (Hang Tuah Jaya).

Mohd Fadhil was the former state Road Transport Department director, while Sapiah and Shadan exchanged their portfolios.

Earlier, Sulaiman distributed the new food kit to all assemblymen, including those from the Opposition.

“I hope the aid will reach deserving groups affected by movement control order,” he said.
