Ensure accountability via direct mayoral elections to foster a culture of responsibility

The Federal Territories MCA concurs with the directive by the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) Hannah Yeoh to explore the election for the post of Kuala Lumpur mayor.

This is consistent with Federal Territories MCA's long-standing call for the restoration of local council elections in Kuala Lumpur. Only by returning power to the masses and ensuring the mayor is directly accountable to residents can we address urban challenges, build a culture of democratic accountability and demonstrate progress towards greater democratisation.
