SHAH ALAM, June 18 — The Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) has disbursed RM396,000 to 132 resident groups under the Petaling Jaya Neighbourhood Safety Team Programme (PKKPJ) on Friday.
Its mayor Mohamad Azhan Md Amir said the contribution is meant to improve neighbourhood security and is allocated to the representatives of the groups.
"We hope that this contribution will encourage the establishment of more PKKPJ in the neighbourhoods of Petaling Jaya," said Mohamad Azhan Md Amir during the PKKPJ 2023 contribution ceremony held at MBPJ Civic Hall on Friday.
According to Mohamad Azhan, PKKPJ is a safety programme aimed at creating a safe neighbourhood environment with the involvement of resident associations and management bodies.
He said MBPJ is the first local authority to introduce the safety programme.
"We are currently looking to improve several aspects, including rebranding the programme name, the application criteria, procedures and methods, as well as other relevant matters," he said.
