Selangor Exco watching over local councils?

Reported via the Malay Mail that:

"The Selangor executive councillors will be watching over local councils in the State. They will now go on rounds to take pictures of clogged drains, potholes and illegal dumpsites to be submitted to local council presidents or heads of department for immediate action."

Is that a serious directive from the MB or is someone just trying to score brownie points? Or maybe, that thought originated from someone's posterior!

How the heck is an Exco member going to do that considering the state duties that come under his portfolio? Has anyone thought of that?

Consider MPSJ alone. Its jurisdiction covers an area of approximately 161.8 square km; divided into three main zones, i.e. Damansara (Subang Jaya & Bukit Lanchong), Puchong & Seri Kembangan (Serdang, Seri Kembangan, Universiti Putra Malaysia dan part of the Air Hitam forest reserve).

What makes the MB think that what MPSJ cannot do, our super-Exco member can?

I would suggest that the MB visit the Hall of Shame hosted by the Jabatan Keselamatan Jalan Raya and take it from there. Put your LA21 into practice by inviting the rate payers to contribute their photographs.

Then we monitor together in a public domain. With transparency. Not just behind doors between the Exco member and the local council.

They are from the same acuan (mould), aren't they?

This is an excellent example of talk only, no action.

Someone should tell the MB not to talk rubbish!
