China delegates plant 888 trees to green KL
Friday August 12, 2011
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp...&if_height=339



Green exercise: Some of the 3,200 delegates from China converging
at the Kepong Metropolitan Park yesterday to plant the trees.


KUALA LUMPUR: Some 3,200 conference delegates from China planted 888 trees at the Kepong Metropolitan Park here to mark their visit and to support City Hall's I Greened KL campaign.

The campaign, launched in May, is to have trees planted by foreign visitors and to have them return here in future to see how the trees they planted have grown and greened Kuala Lumpur.

The Chinese visitors, from Perfect (China) Co Ltd, a company specialising in health and wellness, are here for a three-day seminar for middle-tier achievers.

Company president Woo Swee Lian said the tree planting exercise was part of Perfect's corporate social responsibility programme.

He said the MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions) industry would boost the city's economy as each delegate would spend an average of RM3,000 here.

The I Greened KL programme was launched on May 27 with 50 tourists planting 50 trees.

The trees will be maintained by City Hall and documented on the www.igreenedkl.com website.

Participants can go to the website to monitor the development of their trees.

City Hall aims to have 30,000 trees planted under the project by the end of the year and has to date planted 24,904 trees.

DBKL to install 1,200 CCTVs to monitor traffic offences
Published: Wednesday August 17, 2011 MYT 5:47:00 PM
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp...&if_height=556

KUALA LUMPUR: Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) plans to install 1,200 closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras by the year-end to monitor traffic offences within the federal city.

Mayor Tan Sri Ahmad Fuad Ismail said the CCTVs would facilitate bringing to book traffic offenders committing offences such as causing traffic obstruction in areas under the jurisdiction of DBKL.

"However, the installation of the CCTVs will depend on the financial allocation from the Treasury," he said after opening a workshop on the KUL-Submission online application system for development proposals at the DBKL Training Institute, here, Wednesday. - Bernama

Heritage trail to introduce historical sites in KL
By FAZLEENA AZIZ Tuesday August 23, 2011
http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.as...91&sec=central

THE Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) is now hiring contractors for its Heritage Trail project which is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

The aim of the project is to take local and foreign tourists on a historical journey of the various sites in Kuala Lumpur before independence to the present day.

The trail will begin at Museum Negara and the story of each site will be etched on ceramic tiles.

n front of the National Mosque, gazebos, stalls and a seating area will be built.

From there, visitors are able to visit the parks, Police Museum, Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia, Perdana Botanical Gardens or Tun Razak Memorial.

Further down, the trail leads to Dataran Merdeka, which will be upgraded to include, waterfalls, pictures of past prime ministers and landscaping.

At Medan Pasar, a big arch will be built and Jalan Tun Perak will be upgraded as part of the River of Life project.

There will also be a photo spot to allow photographers to get a better angle of Masjid Jamek.

Kuala Lumpur mayor Tan Sri Ahmad Fuad Ismail said although there was a need for new development in the city it was important to retain some areas with historical past.

He said there were stories to be told and they needed to be linked from one point to another.

“We have the product but we do not have the proper storyline to show people.

“If you are on the heritage trail you will start from a certain point and move on from there. The trail is not all about historical sites as it will also include modern developments like the KLCC and Pavilion.

“We want to preserve the old buildings but make certain enhancements to give it more value,” he said.

He also spoke about developments in areas like Petaling Street, which is a favourite among tourists.

When asked if the Heritage Trail will be promoted online at the DBKL’s website, Ahmad Fuad said it was work in progress as the project has yet to be completed.

“We have to create more tourist spots in KL and put in the uniqueness to lure them in.

“When people come to Dataran Merdeka, they do not have much to do so now we are giving them more,” he said.

He added that once the MRT project was completed the new face of the city merging the old and the modern elements would be in place.



More to come: Gazebos, stalls and a seating area will be built in front of the National Mosque.



To be upgraded: Once the project is complete people will have more to do at the Dataran Merdeka.

DBKL to build community halls, hawker centres and sports facilities next year
Tuesday September 6, 2011
http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.as...50&sec=central

KUALA Lumpur residents can expect to see more public amenities and infrastructure being built next year.

Under next year’s budget, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) will build two community halls, three hawker centres, five sports centres and 19 recreation facilities.

The new projects, including the upgrading of roads, drains, and housing will amount to RM287mil.

DBKL’s 2012 Budget totalling RM2.17bil also focuses on cleanliness with RM196mil allocated for waste management, while RM96mil is for the maintenance of public parks, playgrounds and open space.

Some RM1.33bil of the budget will go for administration expenses and RM847mil for development.

Assessment tax was the main source of revenue for City Hall with a 4% increase to RM1.38bil compared with 2010.

About 60% of revenue came from assessment tax amounting to RM810mil, 17% from development charges (RM239mil), 4.5% from federal government grants (RM62.7mil), and 2.7% from rental of public housing schemes (RM37mil).

Infrastructure was also the main topic of discussion at the Selangor Budget Dialogue Council 2012 held by Selayang Municipal Council (MPS) recently.

Gombak Setia assemblyman Datuk Dr Hasan Ali, who is also the State Islamic affairs, Malay culture, infrastructure and public amenities committee chairman, said besides drains, other infrastructure like bridges, recreational areas and playground equipment were discussed.

“Many of the equipment at the playgrounds were more than 20 years old,” he said.

MPS president Datuk Zainal Abidin A’ala, staff from the Selangor Treasury Department, businessmen, professionals, MPS councillors, village heads and village representatives attended the event.

Dr Hasan said from the RM1.47bil for the 2012 budget, 66% would be for infrastructure projects.

Another 30,000 trees to be planted in Kuala Lumpur next year — Nong Chik
Posted on December 18, 2011, Sunday
http://www.theborneopost.com/2011/12...ear-nong-chik/

KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Ministry is targeting to plant another 30,000 trees in Kuala Lumpur next year towards making it a green and clean city.

Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin said it was also part of an effort to make Kuala Lumpur a liveable city.

“So far, we have planted 31,447 trees, which exceeded the target for this year.

“I’m confident that with the cooperation extended by all quarters, including government agencies, residents and the corporate companies, we will achieve the target,” he told reporters after opening the “Green FT, Blog FT Cares!” programme at the Seri Cempaka People’s Housing Project here.

The “Green FT” programme, involving the participation of Sunrise Berhad, is part of the efforts to green and beautify the city. He said the greening programme would make the city more liveable through the creation of comfortable surrounding and areas for recreational activities.

The greening programme would also increase the value of the property there, he said, adding that what was more important was that it helped to create a sustainable surrounding, reduce the temperature and the greenhouse gas emission. — Bernama

DBKL to make it a requirement for restaurants to provide Wi-Fi services
By CHOONG MEK ZHIN Monday January 9, 2012
http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.as...01&sec=central



Convenient:
Many like the idea of chilling at restaurants and enjoying the Wi-Fi services.


THE move by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to make it a requirement to provide Wi-Fi services under its food and beverage business licence is lauded by many.

It is expected to be enforced in April.

Piccolo Mondo Gastro Sdn Bhd director Suzianna Wong-Svrcula said the move was a good one as it positioned the city as an Internet savvy capital.

“At the end of the day I believe providing Wi-Fi for customers is good business sense. Many people own smart phones, iPads and tablets these days so the service is something useful to them,” she said, adding that all four of the establishments under the brand provided Wi-Fi as well as electrical plug points for free.

She said their facility was for the convenience of their customers.

“The only minor setback of providing such service is we get customers who order only one drink and use the service all day.

RM20mil park in Taman Bukit Kerinchi
By FAZLEENA AZIZ Tuesday January 10, 2012
http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.as...93&sec=central



Soothin g: Nong Chik (in orange) with Fuad (left) looking at the natural stream at the park.

CITY residents can look forward to another park in Taman Bukit Kerinchi, Lembah Pantai, Kuala Lumpur, covering 34.6ha.

The park will be developed in three phases at the cost of RM20mil with the first scheduled to be completed by April.

The first phase involves building a pedestrian walkway, drains, installing lights, concrete and wooden bridges, edible garden, pond, camping area, toilets and landscaping.

Under the second phase, trees will be planted and a nature trail built while the third phase will see the putting up of signages and an arch.

The park has a natural stream, lush forest with a valley as part of its features.

The hillside area is a catchment area owned by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) that is gazetted as a green zone.

Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik and Kuala Lumpur mayor Tan Sri Ahmad Fuad Ismail visited the site where 58% of work had been carried out as part of the first phase.

Raja Nong Chik said the park was bigger than the ones found in Selangor.

“We are providing a green space with natural features for the people of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.

“The first phase will cost RM3.6mil while for the remaining phases, we would require allocation from the government. But we are hoping to get corporations to develop the other phases.

“We want to develop the park together with the surrounding developers,” he said, adding it will take another five years for the park to be completed.

Meanwhile, Fuad said DBKL was looking into the land usage in all the developments to ensure enough green space was included.

“Even for this park, we had to negotiate with the developer to give 6ha,” he said.

Nice to meet you: Nong Chik sharing a joke with residents from Lembah
Pantai at the launch of the RNC Cares programme.


IT WAS double joy for Jayamary Sebastian, 58, when she met Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin during the launch of the RNC Cares community programme held at BN House in Lorong Maarof, Bangsar recently.

The single mother from Kuala Lumpur who has been trying to get welfare aid from the Government, finally found her saviour in Nong Chik who promised to look into her plight via the RNC Cares project.

Jayamary said she was taken aback by Nong Chik’s kindness.

“He is such a nice man and I can tell he has a good heart, too,’’ said Jayamary.

“I am grateful for the help he has given,’’ she added.

Forum set to boost KL trade with OIC nations
By Rupa damodaranPublished: 2012/05/10
http://www.btimes.com.my/Current_New...#ixzz1uPorNCzm

Kuala Lumpur: MALAYSIA'S inaugural joint investment forum with the Islamic Development Bank today marks a small beginning in business partnerships between Malaysian companies and those under the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed said Malaysia, as a founding member of the financial institution, wants to elevate the level of trade and investments between the 57 OIC states.

"We're having 500 participants, with many from 33 member countries - an indication of the interest from a broad spectrum of sectors from oil and gas, manufacturing, services, property and Islamic banking," he said at a media briefing yesterday.

The two-day conference, which focuses on forging strategic business partnerships, started yesterday afternoon.

It will be officiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

The IDB, a financial institution under the OIC, assists member countries to promote international trade, especially capital goods as well as providing related technical assistance.

Mustapa hopes to raise Malaysia's profile further with potential investors from OIC countries, particularly from the Gulf, a region which has shown keen investing interest since five years ago.

In 2011, total trade increased by 19.9 per cent although it has grown by more than four folds between 2000 and 2010.

Approved projects in the manufacturing sector with OIC countries include aluminium, food manufacturing, textiles, scientific and measuring equipment and chemical products.

Malaysian companies led by Petronas, Malakoff and Tanjong Energy have made inroads to power generation and water desalination at Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

"Other potential sectors that can be further explored by Malaysian companies including in oil and gas sector, retail, construction, Islamic banking and fiance, energy, halal food and renewable energy sector," he said.

Mustapa said Malaysia's position as an international Halal hub will help strengthen and expand its market reach to the Muslim countries and it can also leverage on its position as an active OIC member to export high-quality generic pharmaceuticals into the OIC market.

IDB president Tan Sri Dr Ahmad Mohamed Ali said OIC member countries look up to Malaysia and its achievements and want to benefit from its experiences.

"We want to enhance cooperation in trade, tech and finance among the member countries.

"Malaysia is leading in many areas like banking and trade and is also ready to transfer the know how," he said.

The forum also provides an opportunity for the IDB group to introduce and promote its services such as the Islamic Research and Training Institute, International Islamic Trade Finance Corp and the Islamic Corporation for the Insurance of Investment and Export Credit Sector.

KL central cultural makeover
By YVONNE LIM Friday May 11, 2012
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp...&if_height=536



Honoured: Recipients of the Living Iconic Figures sharing a light moment after
being awarded by Rais Thursday. The recipients are (from left) cartoonist

Karthigesu, Eyo, Mek Jah, Ramli Ibrahim, Nyonya Tan and Jati Anak Ju.


KUALA LUMPUR: Parts of central Kuala Lumpur will soon be given a makeover to better reflect Malaysia's cultural heritage.

Information, Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said his ministry was in discussion with the Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Ministry and the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to put together a proposal to be presented to the Cabinet for approval.

“We already have a Little India in Brickfields and a Chinatown in Petaling Street which does well to represent the Indian and Chinese cultures respectively.

“We hope to transform some areas in KL, such as the stretch from the KTMB building to the Sultan Abdul Samad building, to better reflect other cultures which are also part of our national heritage,” he said, adding that the makeover would include Jalan Melayu to better portray Malay culture.

Dr Rais said he hoped the initiative would instill patriotism and greater appreciation for the nation's cultural heritage, especially among the younger generation.

The minister said this while officially declaring 154 National Heritage items, including nine living persons at the Sultan Abdul Samad building here yesterday.

Among the nine recognised for their contributions to the country as a part of our national heritage are Nyonya Tan Abdullah for her dondang sayang, Eyo Hock Seng for his work in wayang kulit and mak yong practitioner Mek Jah Deris.

The other items listed are iconic buildings, archaeological and natural sites, traditional games, martial arts, traditional cuisine, local arts and craft, dances, as well as traditional medical practices.

At the event, Rais also witnessed the official flag-off of the Jejak Warisan (Heritage Footsteps) Programme which was participated by 450 students from schools in KL and Selangor.

The minister said programmes such as these were important to ensure the country's heritage is not forgotten by the younger generation.

“Our heritage is our identity as a nation. We need to pass on the stories, the arts and culture which makes us who we are, to the generations after us,” he said.

KUALA LUMPUR: Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) enforcement personnel will be provided special training to prepare for possible demonstrations or illegal rally in the future.

Federal Territories and Urban Well-being Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin said such training was necessary for the nation's current scenario, whereby more illegal demonstrations are expected, especially in Kuala Lumpur.

"It's better if our enforcement personnel are trained to handle illegal rallies, big or small, because they will be provoked during such demonstrations," he told reporters after a working visit and launch of the DBKL Enforcement Department-level 'Keep Smiling 2012' campaign, here today.

The campaign hopes to encourage a customer-friendly culture and courtesy among staff under the Federal Territories and Urban Well-being Ministry and its agencies.

Commenting further on the training, Raja Nong Chik said talks have been carried out with the Home Ministry.

"I've discussed with Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein (Home Minister), and we will work with his ministry to prepare a detailed information on the training," he said.

He said talks would also be held with the police since the force has already been trained for such situations.

"The police may lead the training, but this still depends on the outcome of the meeting. DBKL may not have specific equipment to face these demonstration, so an allocation for such equipment may be provided as well," he said.

KUALA LUMPUR: Taman Sri Sentosa residents can now channel their grouses to the newly launched 1Malaysia Lembah Pantai Service Centre.

The service centre in Jalan Klang Lama was launched by Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin and his wife Datin Nafesah Raja Nong Chik.

Nafesah who has been helping residents in the Sri Sentosa area for more than 10 years, said she was glad to see the opening of the service centre.

"Before, the people didn't have a service centre when they needed help. Now with this service centre, we can reach out to help more people," she said.

Raja Nong Chik said the centre would serve people of all races living in Taman Sri Sentosa.

"There is a good mix of people here. Some have been neglected in the past. With the launch of this service centre we hope to help all of them," he said.

In conjunction with the Mothers Day celebrations, the staff of the service centre gave Brands Essence of Chicken packs to 700 mothers.

Nafesah said the centre could continue to organise programmes for the people in the coming weeks.

The centre is at L2-06, Times 89 Business Plaza, Jln 8A/133, Taman Sentosa.

KUALA LUMPUR: The government has spent RM42.5 million to upgrade roads and build five overhead bridges in Brickfields for the convenience of residents and visitors there.


Federal Territory and Urban Wellbeing Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin said RM32.3 million was allocated for road widening, upgrading of pedestrian mall and rearranging traffic flow.

The roads included Jalan Tun Sambanthan, Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad, Jalan Padang Belia, Jalan Vivekananda and Lorong Chan Ah Tong, he added.

On the overhead bridges, he said, they were built at a cost of RM10.2 million and three of them were equipped with lifts for the benefit of persons with disabilities .

"The upgraded pedestrian mall has a special tag for the blind and those on wheelchairs," he added.

Raja Nong Chik said a multi-storey car park with 340 parking bays and a monorail crossing were also being built, he told reporters during a walkabout in the Brickfields area today. -- BERNAMA
