Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

Alhamdulillah, I express my gratitude for the abundant blessings of Allah s.w.t. that have allowed me to record these opening words on the website of the Tanah Merah District Council.

As we are all aware, the Local Authorities (PBT) were established to provide basic services to the residents in the PBT areas. Initially, these basic services included waste collection, cleanliness, and the construction and maintenance of ditches. As time has passed and modernization has increased, the expectations of the people from the PBT are not just to provide basic services but also to include more challenging matters such as building construction, public parks, infrastructure such as major roads and drains, licensing, asset management, and so on.

Thus, the expectations of the people towards the PBT are very high. Therefore, it is our responsibility as PBT citizens to meet these challenges and to fulfill these responsibilities as best as we can.

Thank you.
