Emissions Reduction5.4Describe the anticipated outcomes of the most impactful mitigation actions your city is currently undertaking; the total cost of the action and how much is being funded by the local government.12Action description and implementation progress21PJ City Food Bank is one of the many creative projects under the PJ Local Agenda 21 by MBPJ. MBPJ launched PJ City Food Bank in 2012 and since has been the hand that coordinates food supplies from the local factories, restaurants and hostels and giving them to those in need. The PJ City Food Bank is not only an initiative to aid students from low-income families, but it also aims to teach all the youth good and healthy eating habits.Petaling Jaya is, without a doubt, a famous food hub, with its crowded hawker stalls to its flourishing hipster cafes around every corner. With the abundance of food available in this town, it is almost difficult for most of us to imagine that many from our own communities within PJ may not always have enough to eat. In fact, there are some who get through the day with barely one small meal or even breakfast. But not all students can afford breakfast. In Azlinda’s school alone, there are 150 students from low income families who rely on the Rancangan Makanan Tambahan (RMT) programme by the Ministry of Education for food during school hours.With these school-going children and teenagers in mind, Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya (MBPJ) launched a three year PJ City Food Bank Program. This joint effort with Bank Rakyat has set in motion efforts such as a Food Truck for the ‘Free Breakfast for School Kids’ programme.The ‘Free Breakfast for School Kids’ program is a similar concept to the old Milo trucks that used to grace our schools in the 1980s and 1990s where students can look forward to this fun food truck. A 5 tonne lorry was modified as a mobile pantry which would be used as an on-the-go kitchen to bring school-goers meals.The ‘Free Breakfast for School Kids’ program, launched in May of 2017, aids 13 schools within Petaling Jaya. Sekolah Kebangsaan Taman Medan Petaling Jaya is one of the schools on the list.Other than helping parents and students in the community who are less fortunate, this program encourages all students (even those not selected for the program) to have breakfast. The food served follows a well balanced diet and students on the program usually get milk, sandwiches and fruits.Additionally, some 300 students from SK Lembah Subang from low income families are part of the ‘Free Breakfast for School Kids’ program. Besides schools, MBPJ has facilitated food donations from various corporate donors to orphanages and shelters since 2014. 63 homes have received food donations through the PJ City Food Bank Programme. The donors, mostly companies and hypermarkets, donated dry food such as instant noodles, rice, packet drinks, Milo, sugar, crackers, biscuits, milk, oil and snacks.In August 2017, MBPJ launched the ‘Meals on Wheels’ weekend program where food is distributed to approximately 3000 senior citizens, the poor and disabled in selected areas within PJ. ‘Meals on Wheels’ includes buying cooking ingredients and preparing the food in a gotong-royong style to ensure the freshness of the food and for a home-cooked feel to it because while giving is important, the quality and standard of the food is as important.Food donation and soup kitchens are fuel to communities, especially in Malaysia, a country of food enthusiasts. Ensuring citizens of all ages and backgrounds are provided for in a thoughtful, dignified and even fun manner is the way forward to a healthier, happier, fuller Petaling Jaya.Once again the PJ City Food Bank plays an important role during the pandemic MCO period. Many families affected by the crisis especially those with low income and underprivileged are provided with food supply to alleviate their economic hardship. https://www.thestar.com.my/metro/metro-news/2021/07/07/anniversary-marked-with-social-initiatives

Emissions Reduction5.4Describe the anticipated outcomes of the most impactful mitigation actions your city is currently undertaking; the total cost of the action and how much is being funded by the local government.12Action description and implementation progress22NEW developments, be it commercial or residential must fulfil a list of green criteria set by the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) before the approval is given.This is all part of MBPJ’s plan to make the city a sustainable one come 2030, by kicking off with a low carbon city framework programme that commenced in 2011. Developments including semi-detached structures and bungalows with minimum of 1,500 sq.ft of roof cover will have to be fitted with a rainwater harvesting system. Meanwhile, new commercial and mixed commercial developments will have to fulfil five elements including rainwater harvesting. This comes under the Guidelines for Installing A Rainwater Collection and Utilisation System. Apart from the new development projects, existing buildings installing rainwater harvesting system are given incentive in the form of property assessment tax rebate for building retrofitting. The Council has also installed rainwater harvesting system in 8 schools, 2 institutions and 2 places of worship. The installation of Rainwater Harvesting System in the schools initiative has won the best social innovation project for public sector category in the PERSADA Innovation Contest 2020 organized by the State Government of Selangor.

Emissions Reduction5.4Describe the anticipated outcomes of the most impactful mitigation actions your city is currently undertaking; the total cost of the action and how much is being funded by the local government.12Action description and implementation progress23Petaling Jaya City Council becomes the first local authority in Malaysia accredited with ISO 45001 and ISO 14001. These accreditations compelled the Council to implement all steps in relations to good environmental, occupational safety and health practices internally and with externalities. The outsourcing partners and suppliers are required to take into consideration of actions that will minimise environmental impacts and risks of damages arising from their work in Petaling Jaya. Recently, the Council won Gold Class One OSHE Award conferred by the MSOSH. This Award is recognition to the efforts of Council in ensuring safety and environmental protection in Petaling Jaya City. The City remains the only local authority in Malaysia being conferred this prestige award for the three consecutive years.

Emissions Reduction5.4Describe the anticipated outcomes of the most impactful mitigation actions your city is currently undertaking; the total cost of the action and how much is being funded by the local government.12Action description and implementation progress24This case study focuses largely on recycling and the role that the government (Petaling Jaya City Council or MBPJ) as well as the private sector (Nestlé Malaysia and its partners) play to formalize the recycling collection and increase the recycling rate in urban areas. Some of the obvious barriers identified are the need to achieve long-term behaviour change but also to change the existing recycling system.Early findings of the door-to-door collection & recycling programme demonstrate that a well-designed system and strong Communication, Education & Public Awareness (CEPA) approach can mobilize all types of recyclable materials at source in an efficient manner. In addition, this approach provides households with confidence in the system, increasing the participation rates, reducing the amount of recyclable waste going to landfill and providing a clean and well sorted feedstock for the local recycling industryAfter the Intervention by the combined partners the initial collection started in Ara Damansara in October 2020 with 2,235 households followed by Bandar Sri Damansara with 6,034 households in November 2020 and the collection showed a constantly increasing collection volume in both areas as well as an increasing participation rate. By February 2021, more than 50% of the households in Bandar Sri Damansara and more than 75% of the households in Ara Damansara participated actively in the recycling collection. The peak in the February collection volume and subsequent slump in March 2021 needs to be explained since this is a regional waste management phenomenon that always happens around the Chinese New Year (CNY) due to a combination of CNY spring cleaning, acquisition of new items and family celebrations. Operationally the project had to deal with significantly more recyclable materials on the days leading to the Chinese New Year requiring the truck crew to carry out more collection cycles than ever before. As the project gained interest and momentum, the council together with funding from Nestle has expanded the recycling initiative to 20,000 households in October 2021 one year later.

This Fund with its trust deed on carrying out programmes on promotion, education, communication and public awareness for 3R activities based on public contributions and corporates donation is gaining momentum now. At present, the Fund has accumulated over RM 195,003 with donations from the private sector as well as collection from the sale of recyclables and upcycling items. It is anticipated that the Trust Fund will bridge closer tri-parties engagement and collaborations for circular economy transition in Petaling Jaya. Furthermore, the council has also access to the single use plastic bag collection fund where charges of RM 1.55 million were collected from 598 participating businesses within Petaling Jaya. Of this amount, the council will collect some 40% of this amount which is about RM 0.62 million where it will be used for running public awareness campaigns promoting zero plastic bag usage with the Eco and Cashless Ramadhan Bazaars of Petaling Jaya. The other beneficiary will be the waste segregation programmes for Petaling Jaya households and businesses together with the waste warriors council recognition scheme that the city council deems critical.

Emissions Reduction5.4Describe the anticipated outcomes of the most impactful mitigation actions your city is currently undertaking; the total cost of the action and how much is being funded by the local government.12Action description and implementation progress26Wet markets in Malaysia are often associated with slick, usually slippery floors, dirty conditions and distinct smells of raw meat, fresh seafood and a variety of greens. In some cases, these markets operate in buildings that are poorly lit and infested with rodents, with bad ventilation, faulty drainage systems and mould on the walls. With the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, wet markets are expected to operate in cleaner environments now more than ever, with better hygiene standards to stem the infection rate of the virus.As such, the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) has embarked on a project to improve the conditions at some of these places. In particular, Pasar Sentosa in Section 17 and Pasar Taman Megah in SS24 have been transformed into modern wet markets that attract both the young and old. The work done at Pasar Sentosa is of special pride to the council due to the ongoing gentrification of this area especially. This wet market along Jalan 17/27 features a mural of eight selected Petaling Jaya main markets and the large artwork adds vibrancy and colour to the area. In fact, the mural had attracted the younger generation to the market leading to an increase in younger customers. In the past, the Sentosa market was known for dumping waste indiscriminately, which led to problems such as foul odours and leachate. Besides the poorly discarded rubbish by market traders, restaurants in the area also dumped their waste here indiscriminately. Thereby, the chairman of the small traders’ association operating at the market decided to take the lead and educate the traders while plans were underway to revamp the market. Subsequently, the Sentosa modern market in Section 17 opened its doors to the public in 2018 with a new proper waste collection system is put in place.With the intention of making the Sentosa Market an exemplary wet market, Petaling Jaya city council set up a high ceiling with five large fans installed for ventilation purposes, 21 CCTV cameras and clean drains. At the same time, due to efforts on re-education by both the council and traders’ association, waste segregation and self-monitoring have become the norm among the traders. Due to the exemplary progress on waste separation pilot project and recycling activities that had taken place here successfully, the traders here had managed to separate 15,000kg of organic waste, which consisted of fruit, meat and seafood, and collected 1,504 kg of styrofoam, 3,138 kg of cardboard waste as well as 2,331 kg of plastic bottles between July to December 2020. Once properly categorised, all the items were sent for recycling. The council also set up a project where they transformed a rubbish chamber into a recycling centre within the market premises. This innovation based on design thinking principles allowed Petaling Jaya City Council to win the Best Social Innovation Improvement Award in the recently concluded 2021 Selangor PERSADA Innovation Contest.Due to its success, the Petaling Jaya city council intends to introduce more community-based activities here and to replicate its model in other markets and food premises within Petaling Jaya as well.
