Minister Hannah Yeoh has rolled out 13 governance reforms in her first 100 days, focusing on transparency, public access, and combating tender cartels in Kuala Lumpur.
KUALA LUMPUR: Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Hannah Yeoh has introduced 13 reform measures within her first 100 days to strengthen governance and increase administrative transparency.
In a Facebook post, she said the initiatives focus on improving administration and service delivery, including tackling tender cartels, widening public access to systems, and reinforcing checks and balances.
“Some of these reforms may be unpopular, and some will take time to show results,” Yeoh said.
She added that the foundation has been laid with expanded access, improved transparency, and more responsible decision-making.
A key measure involves greater involvement of Members of Parliament in the budgeting and planning processes of Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).
Efforts to combat tender cartels are being intensified through collaboration with the Malaysian Competition Commission.
Space has also been opened for the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission to take more systematic action against corruption.
Green space records have been published online, and DBKL’s One-Stop Centre portal has been made accessible to the public.
Other initiatives include an 80% discount on gymnasium licence fees and a 50% reduction in hawker site rentals.
Ramadan bazaar site rates have been lowered to RM400.
The reforms also cover community and infrastructure improvements, such as branding Titiwangsa Stadium as the ‘Home of Sepak Takraw’.
They include lowering the fence at Merbok Field and establishing a special task force to gazette open and green spaces.
Comprehensive road resurfacing works in 51 public housing and People’s Housing Programme areas under DBKL are also being implemented.
Hannah noted that 100 days is only the beginning and expressed hope for more time to continue driving reforms.
She also conveyed appreciation to Kuala Lumpur Mayor Datuk Seri Fadlun Mak Ujud and other senior officials for their support.
