SUBANG JAYA, Sept 25 — Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) wants its forthcoming city status to complement its services to the people, said MPSJ president Noraini Roslan.
Noraini Roslan said her council, therefore, does not want any groups to be left behind including Persons with Disabilities (OKU).
She said a good city is a city that is accessible to all its residents.
“That is why, we need to upgrade the pathways for OKU, which at the same time, can be used by senior citizens, parents with prams as well as women.
“MPSJ prioritises such projects because not only does it make things easy for the residents but it also ensures their safety. As we gear towards the city status, these facilities should be given due considerations,” she said during a media conference.
On June 25, 2020, SelangorKini reported that Subang Jaya’s ‘municipal council’ status to ‘city council’ status will be enforced on October 20 after receiving the consent of Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj.
Meanwhile, last November, Selangor Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari had announced that Subang Jaya has succeeded in upgrading its status from MPSJ to MBSJ through a Ministry of Housing and Local Government letter on October 31, 2019.
Other than MPSJ, Kuala Langat has also upgraded to becoming Kuala Langat Municipal Council (MPKL).
Currently, Selangor has two city councils under it — Shah Alam and Petaling Jaya, as well as seven municipal councils (Subang Jaya, Selayang, Ampang Jaya, Klang, Kajang, Sepang and Kuala Langat).
The district councils are Hulu Selangor, Sabak Bernam and Kuala Selangor.
