KUALA LUMPUR, June 29 (Bernama) -- Federal Territories Minister Hannah Yeoh today congratulated former prison officer S. Thiyagaraj on his appointment to the Kuala Lumpur City Advisory Board.

In a statement, Hannah said she hoped Thiyagaraj would carry out his duties with dedication for the benefit of city residents.

"All the best in carrying out this trust with full integrity, professionalism and commitment.

"I am confident he will properly execute his role as a Kuala Lumpur City Advisory Board member, providing views and advice to the Mayor for the benefit of city folk," Hannah said.

The minister had earlier witnessed the Mayor of Kuala Lumpur, Datuk Seri Fadlun Mak Ujud, presenting Thiyagaraj with the appointment letter.
