Tanjung Harapan, Port Klang- MPK president Noraini Roslan told StarMetro that the council had plans to transform Tanjung Harapan.
“Our council’s Engineering and Planning Departments will assess the upgrades that are needed. We will have to come up with a substantial budget to refurbish the 2.5km seafront walkway. Both departments will work on the plan and it will be tabled next month,” she said.
She added that MPK would decide whether to repair or rebuild the damaged Bugis schooner.
“Based on initial discussions, improvements will include new surfacing, railings, better lighting, gazebo shelters and seating as well as upgraded steps to access the promenade, new public toilets and covered carparks.
“We plan to colour coordinate the stalls selling knick-knacks and handicrafts too,” she said.
Noraini added that the refurbishment of Tanjung Harapan was viewed as a tourism investment - Star Metro

KLANG - MPK’s Health Department director Azmi Muji, who headed the operation, said 12 workers including five enforcement officers were involved in the clean-up.
“It took us one-and-a-half hours to clean up the car porch. The council has cleared this house of clutter thrice since 2016 but the problem recurs. Our council has received numerous complaints on this issue. It is a fire hazard and the rubbish creates an environment for pests to thrive and that becomes a nuisance for neighbours,” he said.
MPK workers at the site said one and a half tonnes of rubbish was taken out from the car porch area.
Azmi added that MPK would assist the occupant and have the case referred to the Klang District Health Department.
“We will leave it to the health department to refer the person to a government hospital for counselling and treatment to address his compulsive hoarding behaviour. We believe it’s a mental health issue and the person needs some support.
I hope the person’s next of kin can come in to help or at the very least, the hoarder would be willing to get help,” he said.
Port Klang Fire and Rescue Station chief Razif Mohmad Haris said clutter of this nature could easily become fuel for a fire that could rapidly spread and endanger the row of terrace houses.
“Hoarding is a fire hazard,” he added.
