00:00Maimunah Shariff, the self-described kampung girl from Negeri Sembilan, intends on leveraging
00:08on her wealth of experience as a councillor and six-year stint with the United Nations
00:13as Kuala Lumpur's new mayor.
00:15Having spent her childhood in a rural area where her parents worked as rubber tappers,
00:20the town planner says her humble beginnings have shaped her thinking when it comes to
00:24urban development, namely one that puts people, inclusivity and sustainability first.
00:30In an interview with FMT following the announcement that she has been appointed the Kuala Lumpur
00:35mayor from today, Maimunah said it is a major recognition, especially for one coming far
00:40from a life of poverty.
00:43Maimunah recounted that she had to do her homework under a kerosene lamp as a child
00:48and helped her parents tap rubber at dawn before heading out to school.
00:52Asked about her immediate plans for the capital, she responded that she could not say as she
00:57would only be briefed by her colleagues today when she clocks in.
