MB Khalid: “Clean up Selangor”

At the launch of the Zon Bersih Peringkat MBPJ 2012 at Sunway Giza in Kota Damansara this morning, Mentri Besar of Selangor, Khalid Ibrahim urged everyone concerned to make Selangor a clean state.

He said that the state had to take over the garbage collection services from Alam Flora and the local councils are now in direct control of the contractors who are handling the garbage collection.
