"No point in having a world class city but the people are not happy. We can't fashion ourselves after Vancouver or Melbourne (because) there's just too great a disparity among KL folk. We have to address the disparity (first)," he told a group of bloggers over dinner tonight.br /br /The Minister's aware of the need to overhaul the KL City Hall to make it more efficient.
