THE Selangor state government and enforcement authorities have been told to come up with practical action plans to overcome dirty environment, traffic congestion and crimes in the Royal Town. Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, who issued the directive in his address when opening the Sultan Abdul Aziz Royal Gallery, said there was a need to improve the cleanliness in the Klang district, particularly the housing and commercial areas.
Also present were Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo; Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim; state secretary Datuk Ramli Mahmud; state exco members; MPs and state government officials.
The Sultan also said the Klang river needed serious attention.
“I am not satisfied with the level of cleanliness of the Klang river, which used to be clean and clear.
“I have commented on the matter when I visited Klang district three years ago and efforts to clean up the river ought to be continued,” he said.
He added that the police, the municipal council, Works Department, state government and related authorities should discuss and find solutions to ease traffic congestion in the district especially during the peak hours.
He said the traffic jam problem in Klang was critical when vehicles heading towards Klang from Shah Alam every evening.
“If the problem is not settled quickly, it may lead to more problems and cause dissatisfaction among the people,” he said, adding that the traffic problems could also affect the arrival of tourists to the district.
He also said the police and the people have an equal responsibility to work together in a bid to prevent crime.
