Upon reading the article, Khalid ordered DBKL to act on the request for a People’s Housing Project unit that V Kunasegaran submitted in 2014.

“I have asked the mayor to give him a house for rent,” he told FMT. “God willing, it will be handled swiftly.”Kunasegaran maintained the iconic Sultan Abdul Samad clock tower at Dataran Merdeka for more than 40 years until his retirement in 2016.When he was hired in 1975, his take-home salary was RM146 a month. By his retirement, this had increased to RM2,700.

Two weeks before he was due to retire, he received a promotion that came with a salary increment of RM10.After getting a notification that his application was under consideration, he received no further communication from DBKL.
