BUSINESS owners along Jalan Petaling in Kuala Lumpur are upset and frustrated as they have been given notices to repaint the exterior of their rented shoplots. According to the DBKL notice issued under Section 75 of the Local Government Act 1976, a check conducted on June 18 found that the paint on the exterior of buildings along Jalan Petaling was dirty and peeling off. The notice also compelled the building tenant to wash or repaint the building’s exterior with quality paint within 30 days. Tan added that DBKL issued the notice to Kiat Leong Stationery and Trading on July 30, which operates below his cafe. “Under the City Beautification Programme, DBKL ensures that the quality of building maintenance is in line with the KL Indah initiative.
