DBKL – Jabatan Keselamatan Dan Penguatkuasaan

What do you feel when you enforcement officers from your local authority? Sense of guilt? Fear or safe? Well, surely everyone has some feelings upon having them in sight depending on your perception and/or past experiences with them. I caught up these two pictures of the enforcement officer from the Kuala Lumpur City Hall during the opening ceremony of the Blog4FT contest recently. These are people from the Jabatan Keselamatan Dan Penguatkuasaan DBKL. From my observation they look more like traffic wardens than other enforcement officers with the nature of their job that day. When I checked with DBKL’s website I found out that there no more such thing as traffic warden since the unit formed on 15th July 1975 to enforce the Traffic ordinance 1958 had been dissolved and merged into one single Enforcement Directorat in July 1982. On 15th May 2006 the name was officially changed to Jabatan Keseamatan dan Penguatkuasaan.
