Good infrastructure and sustainable development are not good enough for Kuala Lumpur to be regarded as a 'world standard' city, according to mayor Datuk Mhd Amin Nordin Abd Aziz.
He said its residents must have first class mentality before KL city could reach that status.
"KL city dwellers must have a high sense of social responsibility or civic mindedness and discipline when it comes to obeying the law," he told Bernama in an interview in conjunction with Federal Territory Day on February 1.
Stressing a point, he said Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) issued more than one million traffic summonses yearly for traffic and parking offences.
"If dwellers here can only obey traffic, business, hygiene and all the other rules and regulations, maybe we will see our city achieving a status on par with those in developed countries like Tokyo and Australia," he said.
To this end, he said DBKL would no longer compromise with parties who flout the law.
"I aim to make Kuala Lumpur a progressive, clean, beautiful, orderly and cheerful city but the mentality of its residents must also be at level with city dwellers in developed countries," he stressed.
More than 10 programmes have been organised for the 12th federal territory day celebrations this year themed, 'Wilayah Ceria, Rakyat Sejahtera'.
Meanwhile, Mhd Amin Nordin said Kuala Lumpur was placed 18th in the World Bank Group's 'Feasibility of Doing Business 2015' report, which is two notches up from 2014.
He said Kuala Lumpur was placed 12th in the 'Dealing with Construction Permits' report, compared to 28th in 2013.
