THE newly sworn in councillors of the Penang Island Municipal Council (MPPP) recently received some sound advice from exco member for Local Government, Traffic Management and Flood Mitigation, Chow Kon Yeow.
A few days before the announcement of the councillors, Chow was at the launching of the recreation park in Island Glades.
“It is not a walk in the park for those serving the people. The new tagline is to serve the rakyat better. Engage the community in the decision-making process. Listen to the aspirations of the people,” he said.
The recreation park in Island Glades was upgraded with a RM50,000 allocation from MPPP councillor S. Sukumar, with RM12,000 going for exercise equipment and RM44,000 spent on the walking path.
MPPP will also spend about RM100,000 to further enhance the park by repairing the wire mesh fence, build an integrated children’s playground, landscaping, installing lighting to enable residents to use the park for exercise at night and other features.
Seri Delima assemblymember RSN Rayer and Bukit Gelugor MP Ramkarpal Singh were also present.
