WITH just a click, Kajang residents can know more about the local plan, crime hot spots in Kajang and certain geographical information via an online Geographical Information System (GIS).
Integrated GeoPlanning Sdn Bhd managing director Zaini Nordin gave councillors at the Kajang Municipal Council (MPKj) full board meeting a preview of the system recently.
Integrated GeoPlanning is a planning and geographical information services company.
He said the company started working on MPKj’s page in October 2009 and completed it in April.
Touch of a button: Zaini giving the councillors a preview of the GIS system. The cost for the system is borne by the council.
“We started two years ago but, previously, it was a commercial version. Now, we use an open source (non-commercial) version of the engine.
“However, the Kajang GIS is the most comprehensive compared with the others,” he said.
The mapping system is available at Malaysian online mapping portal www.onemapserver.com,
Bangi assemblyman Dr Shafie Abu Bakar and some of the councillors gave suggestions on the additional information and improvements they would like to see in the system.
Other councils in Selangor that have applied this system are the Selayang Municipal Council and Ampang Jaya Municipal Council.
MPKj president Datuk Hassan Nawawi Abdul Rahman also said the council would support Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim’s decision in not allowing premises in the state to be used for football betting.
He echoed Bangi assemblyman Dr Shafie Abu Bakar’s sentiments in supporting Khalid’s decision.
Hence, Ascot Sports Sdn Bhd, which was given a sports gaming licence, will not be given a licence to operate in Kajang.
