I was asked by some residents, what are my plans for USJ (zone 3)?
As for my masterplans, well, I do have a list of over 20items that need to be done in MPSJ. As a member of the municipal council, I have to consider the decision of my fellow councilors in pursuing these policies.
However, these are among my primary focus:
1. Customer service - Your complaints to MPSJ must be solved within set time frames, mostly 2 weeks. If it is not, let me know, and I'll be breathing fire down the respective head of dept's neck.
Also, I'm making myself available - you can call me, facebook me, email me and even see me in person to discuss just about anything.
2. Traffic & Public Transport - We can hope for the best tweaking traffic light timings here and there, but ultimately, thats not going to be a long term solution, as everyday, more and more cars come on the road (my neighbour has 4, and even my house has 4 today). Also, the better we improve traffic flows on Tujuan/Kewajipan, the more enticing it would be for Putra Heights/Alam Megah/Kota Kemuning/Puchong to use Subang Jaya as a bypass to get to places. So, we need to start focusing on public transport. And I've succeeded in getting MPSJ to form a public transport committee, that will have Prasarana, RapidKL & CVLB's participation. We'll be meeting for the first time after Raya.
3. Solving Taipan's parking nightmare
4. Improving hygiene standards...
- restaurants & grocery shops
- public littering, be it throwing rubbish out of the car window, dumping rubbish in front of tnb sub-stations or dragging mattresses/unwanted furnitures to road corners
5. Legalise proper business activities that should be, and crackdown on the rest (this is quite a tough one)
6. Look into MPSJ's finances. This is "behind the scenes" work, and many would not see the fruit of my labour in this area directly. However, i think its very important, so that
a) we free up unnecessary spending and focus that money on improving roads, street lights & parks
b) Generate more non-tax income so that just general resident's tax burden is reduced. I don't mean penalising people, but there are some cases which companies are due to pay a fair share to council, such as
- Telco towers using public land for telco towers paying a minimal token sum only, yet generating billions in revenue.
- Billboard ads that cost RM10k/month at the very least, but shops putting up huge sighboards get off just paying RM60/90 a year.
I don't mean to punish these corporate bodies, but they should pay their fair share for usage of our common space that they use for their private profit.
c) stop/reduce corruption (sometimes i feel corruption happens because councillors are just too busy dealing with residents that they don't have time to scrutinize MPSJ's spending
I welcome any questions/clarification of the above.

Congratulations on your success. Kep up the good work and stay away from corruption and corrupt politicians.
Mr rajiv,
Thank you for taking your time to actually come to my area and take a look at the road which has been seal by the committee members of this area. This road is a convenience to go out to KL or Puchong and also to come home to. It is also an exit and entrance for any emergency and ambulance which I hope it will never happen.
I really hope there is good news and that we could make use of all the roads.
