MB opens 'Zambry clinic' to solve people's problems - Malaysiakini

Perak Menteri Besar Zambry Abdul Kadir has set up the 'Klinik Dr Zambry' to make easier his task of solving the people's problems and for the people to see him.

He said his 'mobile clinic' was open to everybody, including opposition members and supporters.

“This clinic is an extension of the meet the people programme which we have held.

“Previously, we held dialogues, but I still feel there is a gap between me and the people,” he told reporters after a monthly assembly with state government officers in Ipoh today.

He said the government's move in changing the venue of its weekly state executive council meeting to the districts and villages was part of an effort to reduce bureaucracy and provide opportunities for local residents to voice their problems.

At the function, Zambry also launched the Perak state secretariat short messaging service (SMS) which enabled the public to send their complaints or check the status of their applications with the relevant state agencies by sending them to mySMS 15888.

They will be charged 35 sen for each SMS.
