June 13 deadline for local authorities to set up one-stop centres

KUALA LUMPUR: Local authorities which have yet to set up one-stop centres for property development projects in their respective areas of jurisdiction are advised to do so before the June 13 deadline.

Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting said there was no excuse for the delay as they had been given two months, since April 13, to do so. Local authorities were told to set up such centres following calls by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi for improved public service delivery system. “I don’t see any reason why they’re not taking the matter seriously,” he told reporters after opening the Malaysian Property Exposition (Mapex) at the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre here yesterday.

Yesterday, the Public Service Department approved 533 new posts at the ministry, especially to facilitate the setting up of the one-stop centres. Ong, who was in Melaka, yesterday, said he was satisfied with the local authorities in the state for having successfully implemented the one-stop centre directive.
