KEY (RUBBISH) PERFORMANCE INDEX

Putrajaya-12th.June;NSTP

MALAYSIAN GARBAGE COLLECTION SYSTEM THE BEST

In the Hollywood movie 'Entrapment' produced in 1999, it portrays the Malaysian scenery as a dirty and filty place, full of squatters along the riverline. Then, Malaysian Government cried foul and accuses the American of inaccurate information.

Now, the newspaper publish a picture of Putrajaya lake within the vicinity of the Putrajaya Convention Center, full of rubbish, industrial and domestic toxic wastes, etc. Sepang District Officer and Municipal Council President Mohd Arif Abd Rahman gives an explanation to the problem: "The problem have persisted despite the council having cleared the area repeatedly especially for the OIC conference in 2003.

MY GOD! Our Malaysian standard is to clean a place for only a special event or function. We don't have a system for maintenance for public areas. Isn't such answers embarrassing? We have Government departments that presume that it is only necessary to maintain an area during functions or events, and thereafter ....

Thats the reason why the Velodrome in Perak is in such shamble state and UNrepairable.

The Government talks a lot about efficiency, effectiveness and Performance Measurement (KPI). Can Pak-Lah named the performance index for Municipal Council of Sepang? I would suggest that Pak-Lah and his cabinet visit Kuching and have a good site visit and discussion with the Municipal of Kuching and the Chief Minister of Sarawak. Does anyone visit the Lot10 and its surrounding in Bukit Bintang? How is the cleanliness of that place now? Mahathir did a cleaning exercise during the APEC summit many years back.
