Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali has pledged to make Selangor rubbish-free within three months, even giving out his mobile phone number for public complaints.

Azmin said he has instructed all city councils to clear out all the rubbish piles in the city within the timeframe.

"I have instructed the Petaling Jaya City Council and the Subang Jaya Municipal Council as well. I have given them three months, until December 2014, for all rubbish to be cleared.

I want Petaling Jaya to become the cleanest district in Selangor," he told a DAP fundraising dinner last night.

Azmin, who became menteri besar in September, said he viewed the trash issue in Selangor seriously and did not want to see rubbish piled up anywhere.

"If you see any uncollected rubbish, you can text me. This is my number: 012-2052020," he said.

"You send me a text message. I am serious about this, I will not tolerate it. I want the local councils to clean every street and land in our area," he said.

Since coming to power, Azmin has adopted a hands-on approach, hopping into drains and onto rubbish trucks for inspection.

"I am young, I go down to the ground, I only spend 20 percent of my time in the office and 80 percent of my time on the field to listen to the people's grouses," he said.

'Bible solution near'

Azmin also reitrated that the state government was on the verge of a solution to the 320 copies of the Bible in the Malay and Iban languages that were seized from the Bible Society of Malaysia in Petaling Jaya.

Azmin said he has engaged the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) and Selangor Islamic Affairs Department (Jais) over the matter and will be referring it to the Selangor sultan.

"I will refer to the sultan. These scriptures do not belong to Muslims, they belong to the Christians and we must respect that.

"Therefore, we are drafting a formula and I am confident if they understand the true meaning of Islam, the copies of the Bible will be returned to the Christian community," he said.

The holy books were confiscated by Jais in January for containing the word 'Allah' to refer to God. Jais maintains this breached the Selangor Non-Islamic Religions (Control of Propagation Amongst Muslims) Enactment 1988, under which non-Muslims are banned from using 'Allah' to refer to God.

Elaborating on his vision for his administration, Azmin said it is a pro-business government but that it would be based on transparency.

"We do not want bureaucracy. We have clear guidelines and if you fulfil them, I assure you (whatever you apply) will be approved immediately," he said.

He also promised to slash operational budget and increase developmental expenditure when the state budget is tabled on Nov 24.

The Selangor budget, he added, would also propose a slash in the salaries of the menteri besar, speaker, deputy speaker and state executive council members.
