A-G Nik Azman Nik Abdul Majid said the objective of appointing the company to manage integrated solid waste collection and public cleaning services in Selangor had been achieved “even though it is a little later than originally planned”.
On the performance of the Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS), Nik Azman said its performance on real estate development, whether through contractors or privatisation, “is less than satisfactory because the physical performance and revenue do not reach the target”.
On the management of assessment tax by the local authorities of Shah Alam, Petaling Jaya and Hulu Selangor, he said the councils had reached their objective in providing municipal services to the people in the state.
However, he said the assessment and enforcement activities on assessment tax collection should be improved so that tax arrears can be reduced from time to time.
Nik Azman said meetings have been conducted with the agencies to discuss the audit findings and to seek clarifications as well as feedback.
Nik Azman said the national audit department had submitted 10 recommendations to improve the weaknesses reported.
Nik Azman said the audit report was tabled in the Dewan Rakyat on March 22 and tabled in the Selangor state legislative assembly today. - FMT
