KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 17 — Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Dr Zaliha Mustafa has pledged that three key figures, known as the “three iron ladies,” would make the city safe, clean, and more sustainable.
Zaliha described the trio as herself, Kuala Lumpur Mayor Datuk Seri Maimunah Mohamad Sharif, and Federal Territories Department director-general Datuk Noridah Abdul Rahim, who oversee the KL Strike Force on this effort.
“Insya’allah, we will see KL clean from all matters of concern to the residents. I would also like to give a reminder, ‘Don’t try to be funny’ in KL,” she was quoted as saying by Malaysiakini.
Dr Zaliha stressed the importance of addressing cleanliness and safety in the city, and cautioned against undermining their mission
