Panel to boost delivery system

KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Territories Ministry has set up the Modern City Management Committee to enhance the service delivery system here.

Minister Datuk Seri Zulhasnan Rafique said the move would turn Kuala Lumpur into a first-class city by 2020.

He said the committee would study the management mechanisms, laws and administrative and local government structures adopted by developed countries.

The committee, chaired by Putrajaya Corporation president Tan Sri Samsudin Osman, would also scrutinise the administrative, planning and development implementation systems as well as the efficiency of municipal service deliveries.

The aim was to create a sustainable and safe municipal administrative area, he said in a statement.
"The committee will also identify the criteria to meet the modern city management concept and study the power and liaison coordination mechanisms involving various agencies or institutions."

He said Kuala Lumpur as well as Putrajaya and Labuan would be administered based on a modern management concept.
