Johor state council member chairs cross-agency meeting to cut red tape and speed up ground-level action for the people
Johor state council member Mohd Jafni Md Shukor has chaired a cross-agency coordination meeting to align technical agencies and local authorities on ground-level issues affecting residents.
Johor Housing and Local Government Committee Chairman Dato' Haji Mohd Jafni Md Shukor hosted a cross-agency meeting on September 15 from 6 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. The gathering aimed to streamline processes and accelerate ground-level action by bringing together technical agencies and local authorities. Mohd Jafni emphasized in a Facebook post that issues impacting daily life should not be addressed through a siloed approach, where agencies delay action while determining responsibilities.
He stressed that people care about finding a solution, not understanding who initiates first. Each agency must clearly define their role, actions, and timeline, with the latter regularly monitored. The chairman also indicated his willingness to personally visit the field to ensure that decisions translate into tangible outcomes.
This meeting comes at a time when inter-agency coordination often results in slow progress due to delays in initiating action. By convening representatives from technical agencies and local authorities, Mohd Jafni seeks to eliminate waiting periods and enforce shared accountability for results. Residents welcomed the initiative, praising the move towards swift, organized action and expressing hope that plans would be executed seamlessly.
