KUALA LUMPUR: A promotional poster calling for applicants for a street traders programme at Lorong Tuanku Abdul Rahman (Lorong TAR) will not be a bazaar-like concept, says the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).
Looking at DBKL’s 2021 Budget are (from left) DBKL Project Implementation executive director Azmi Abdul Hamid, Socio-Economic Development executive director Anwar Mohd Zain, Planning executive director Sulaiman Mohamed and Mahadi.
UNEXPECTED expenditure due to the Covid-19 pandemic has forced Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to review this year’s budget and adjust its expenditure accordingly for 2021.
Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Mahadi Che Ngah said DBKL saw an RM800mil drop in revenue this year, from a projected revenue of RM2.52bil, due to the pandemic and subsequent movement control order.
“We allowed for payment waivers and other discounts to Kuala Lumpur residents and this affected our initial projected revenue.
