Welcome, Datuk Bandar
Welcome, Encik Mohd Roslan Sakiman, to the office of the mayor of Petaling Jaya. Not only is Petaling Jaya the newest city in Malaysia, but by our reckoning, it stands with potential to become the second riches city hall in the country after it’s elder sister, Kuala Lumpur.
His work is definitely cut out for him, with a host of problems and challenges awaiting him on his desk. Primarily, we expect the new boss to look around his city and get to know his city folks, their problems and suggestions. He will have a lots of opportunities to do so with the stretch of festivities coming up soon, like Deepavali and Hari Raya.
Next on the agenda is to address the long running high profile issues that have dominated PJ’s image lately, like the rubbish collection, the billboard saga, rising snatch theft and crime cases, public amenities maintenance (like roads, toilets and drains, are some of the most visible ones).
And finally, we sincerely hope the Datuk Bandar can work effectively with the team of councillors on the full board. This is the highest body or decision makers in the city, and its efficiency ultimately makes or breaks the success and implementation of the council’s policies and strategies.
Once again, welcome, Datuk Bandar, and we wish you all the best to make PJ a beautiful city.
