2.0 Introduction of Petaling Jaya City Council
In the early 50's, Kuala Lumpur experienced congestion as a result of a rapid population growth
and squatters existing in the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. To overcome this problem, the State
Government identified "Effingham Estate", a 1,200-acre rubber plantation in Jalan Klang Lama
to create a new settlement known as Petaling Jaya.
The party entrusted to govern the new settlement was the District Officer of Kuala Lumpur and
Petaling Jaya Board before being taken over by a statutory body, namely Petaling Jaya
Authority at the end of 1954. Petaling Jaya made history on 1 January 1964 when the Selangor
State gazetted a Township Board with financial autonomy to govern the city.
On 1 January 1977, Petaling Jaya Town Authority was upgraded to Petaling Jaya Municipal
Council (MPPJ), pursuant to the Local Government Act 1976 by the government. On 20 June
2006, Petaling Jaya Municipal Council was upgraded as Petaling Jaya City Council.
Now, the administrative area of MBPJ is 97.2 square kilometres which is rapidly growing.
Petaling Jaya has a total population of over 619,925 people and the number of property holding
of 217,930. Petaling Jaya is now known as the leading growth centre in Selangor.
The Administrative Council consists of 25 Council members led by a mayor. Council members
are appointed by the Selangor State Executive Council. The Mayor is an officer of the Federal
Government appointed by the state administration after obtaining the consent of the Menteri
Besar. A mayor works full time, assisted by a Deputy Mayor and Head of the Departments in
setting and implementing the vision, mission, quality policy, objectives and activities of the
Council. The Council approved a Council legislation draft and forming policies to be
implemented by the departments. Petaling Jaya City Councill is now located at Jalan Yong

The CCC was introduced with government purpose to execute the self-certificate and self-
regulation approach in the construction industry. The normal time taken in building
development projects could be reduced through the fulfil of the CCC. The professionals were
indeed legally obliged to certify the fitness of building before CCC. The professionals who
fully responsible in building development projects as they directly involved with the project in
all stages of completion. It is appropriate that the professionals are given the trust and
responsibility to issue the CCC for project construction. The CCC will be issued by Principal
Submitting Person (PSP) which is by professional architect or building draftsman that
registered with the Board of Architects Malaysia and engineer that registered with the Board
of Engineers Malaysia who submit the building plans to the LA for approval.

Procedure of Certificate of Completion and Compliance (CCC)
17
Introduction of the CCC process
In this CCC process, it has three stages such as substructure stage, superstructure stage and
services stage. So, the PSP will submit to the G1 – G3 to LA as a notice that the works are
complete under their supervision after the substructure stage done. Therefore, in the second
stage and third stage which is superstructure stage and services stage are apply the process
same as the first stage. For the second stage, PSP need to apply inspections from technical each
department involved which control the regulation and requirement based on from G. After the
inspection passed, the PSP will submit from G4 – G12 with the recommendation letter for the
building to Local Authority as the technical departments involved issued to the
recommendation letter.
Thus, on the last stage PSP have to apply inspection same as the second stage. After the
inspection passed, it will submit to G4 – G12 with recommendation letter to Local Authority.
Lastly, architect will issue the original F form as evidence that the building is complete and
comply with requirement.
In this MBPJ, the technician will do the site survey to get the CCC approval and create the
report to prove the building are 100% will be done, then will transfer to chief department to get
the feedback. Thus, the report will transfer to OSC and OSC will inform the meeting for CCC
to each department involved as they are needed to attend the CCC site survey. On CCC site
survey, the department involved will check the specification of construction for last time before
get the F form and G1 – G21 forms from the developer. Besides, end of the survey, all
departments involved should report the comments to OSC in 3 days on working day.
After the 3 days and get all the feedback from the technical department that involved, OSC will
transfer the report to YDP and YDP will sign for approval. If there have any problem on CCC
site survey, the technician will inform to the developer for complete according to the plan such
as providing rainwater harvesting due need to get the approval CCC. Moreover, after the

4.0 CONCLUSION
Based on this assignment we learn a lot about the local authority of Majlis Bandaraya Petaling
Jaya. So the role of the local authority is responsible for provision of an extensive range of
public services in respective area. It also has a general duty to see that building work complies
with the building regulations, unless it is under the control of an approved inspector. Only local
authority has the power to enforce standard if things go wrong.
Moreover, we also get to know the procedure and workflow at MBPJ which the planning
permission. This is the legal process of determining whether proposed developments should be
permitted. Responsibility for planning lies with local planning authority, usually the planning
department of the district or borough council. Other than that, the building plan approval
process is going to be pre submissions, earth works with road & drainage, engineers plans &
architect plans submissions, development order approval, and work commence. Therefore, the
CCC is going to have three stages which is substructure stage, superstructure stage and services
stage to get the approval of CCC. This all things are important in local authority to maintain
the building in the future.
