KUALA LUMPUR, April 17 (Bernama) -- Although the Mayor of Kuala Lumpur has some degree of autonomy in managing the capital, all actions taken must still be in line with the roadmap set by the Federal Territories Department (JWP). JWP director-general Datuk Seri Rosida Jaafar said the department is responsible for being the trigger and catalyst for the mechanism of innovative cooperation between local authorities in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan. 'This is to create a synergy of resources and manpower as well as communities in all three Federal Territories to achieve the government's wider aspirations in terms of national economic and social development,' she said in her speech during the handing over of duties of the Kuala Lumpur Mayor, here, today.
