KUALA LUMPUR: The much-anticipated River of Life project, which aims to revitalise and transform Kuala Lumpur's dirty rivers, has taken off.

"I believe there will be a drastic change to Kuala Lumpur's image," said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

"This is what Kuala Lumpur folks have been waiting for.

"The Klang river has all the elements to become an attractive waterfront bustling with daily activities," he said at the launch of the project to transform the Klang and Gombak rivers into iconic waterfronts on par with big cities such as Amsterdam, London, Melbourne and Paris by 2020 on Friday.

The Greater KL-Klang Valley project is an Entry Point Project under the Government's Economic Transformation Programme.

Najib said the project would contribute RM11.3bil to the country's Gross Domestic Product until 2020.

The RM4bil project is divided into three parts, namely river cleaning which would involve a 110km stretch along the Klang river basin; river beautification along a 10.7km stretch by the Klang and Gombak river corridor which will include pedestrian walkways; and corridor development.

MALACCA: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam, state executive council members and heads of government departments rode bicycles for two kilometres to launch the "go green" campaign.

He headed a convoy of 100 participants starting from the Chief Minister's residence at Seri Bendahara in Ayer Keroh, reaching his office Seri Negeri at 8am.

"I encourage the people to ride bicycles and support the state government's effort to implement the 'go green' mission," he told reporters.

The federal government had recently announced that Malacca would be the first state to model green technology.

"I will cycle to my office at Seri Negeri every Friday," he said. Mohd Ali also urged the public to submit suggestions to the state government on a suitable location for bicycling activities. - Bernama

PUTRAJAYA: The Syariah Bar Council will be formed to regulate the Syariah practice and protect clients of legal services, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

He said the new council was needed as there had been ethical issues including Syariah lawyers cheating their clients, exhorbitant legal fees and the use of fake evidence.

He said the Syariah Legal Profession Act would be enacted to facilitate the formation of the council.

"The time has come for us to have an Act, similar to the Legal Profession Act 1976, and set up a Syariah Bar Council like the Malaysian Bar Council," he said when opening the 13th All-Malaysia Syariah Officers Conference Friday.

Najib said that in an effort to strengthen the Syariah judicial system, the government would set up an academy - Institut Latihan Kehakiman Syariah Malaysia or ILKAS (Syariah Judicial Training Institute of Malaysia) - to provide professional training to Syariah prosecutors, officers and lawyers.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom said a bill was in the final stages of preparation. "The aspects being considered include the welfare of clients, regulations which will facilitate reference for the lawyers and clients, and setting the legal fees. -Bernama
