Mayor: DBKL plans enforcement enhancements for 2026
KUALA LUMPUR: The Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) Enforcement Department is set to implement several proposals to enhance enforcement actions in the coming year, says mayor Datuk Seri Maimunah Mohd Sharif ( pic ).
She expressed hope that incidents like the "abang belon" episode would not deter officers from performing their duties effectively.
In March, a video circulated showing DBKL officers confiscating balloons from a vendor on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman went viral.
The incident attracted criticism from politicians who accused DBKL of being excessive in their actions.
DBKL defended its officers, stating that the vendor had ignored previous warnings and continued trading. The vendor reportedly became aggressive, pushing officers after a third warning, leading to a police report being filed over injuries sustained during the altercation.
'I commend your firm and tactful enforcement against illegal hawkers, despite provocation and threats such as those seen in the 'abang belon' incident,' Maimunah said at the Parade for the Completion of the Basic Enforcement Officer Training Course 2025 this morning (June 12).
This training course is compulsory for new officers under DBKL's enforcement service scheme.
According to a statement, DBKL's Enforcement Department has issued over 621,000 notices for traffic offences, collecting RM2.79mil in fines as of April this year.
Additionally, 19,000 notices for general offences have resulted in over RM1.56mil in fines collected.
