SHAH ALAM, April 23 (Bernama) -- The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Saturday suggested that the local authorities (PBT) provide an online reporting system on approvals of certificates of fitness for buildings.

Information on the applications and approvals for building plans could be provided to the people immediately when such reports were provided online, the Sultan said.

He made the suggestion in his speech at the opening of the meeting of the second term of the 11th State Legislative Assembly, here.

Meanwhile, the State Exco for Environment and Multimedia, Datuk Ch'ng Toh Eng said the Sultan's proposal would be implemented soon.

"It's proper that the PBTs provide such reports online so that members of the public are aware of the latest situation concerning projects that are being implemented," he said.

The PBTs would ensure that the projects that were being implemented were complete and safe, while the developers must provide landscaping and adequate details so that the process of approving CFs would be smooth, he said.

In his speech, the Sultan also reminded State Assemblymen to look after their image by refraining from corrupt practices.

"I wish to remind that the National Integrity Plan (PIN) is being enforced for everyone including politicians," he said.

At the same time, the Sultan also suggested that the state government continued with the programme on the inventory of social problems (IMR) to overcome such woes.

The Sultan said that he received frequent complaints from the people who claimed that the services provided by the elected representatives and government officers had not been satisfactory. -- BERNAMA
