History

[edit]

The history of Pasir Gudang City Council began on 1 July 1977, when Pasir Gudang Local Authority (Malay: Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan Pasir Gudang, PBTPG) a subsidiary of Johor Corporation (JCorp) was established. It was the first private local authority in Malaysia, although Johor Corporation is the investment arm of the Johor State Government, who entrusted the former to govern the local authority area for 31 years. The Local Authority's president was simultaneously Johor Corporation's own president.[1]

From 1 July 1985, the State Government administer the Local Authority under Section 7 of the Local Government Act 1976, replacing the usage of Town Council Enactment 1937 (No. 118).

This agency was granted municipal status on 1 July 2008 and named Pasir Gudang Municipal Council (MPPG; Malay: Majlis Perbandaran Pasir Gudang). During the transition to direct state government rule on 1 September 2009, two Johor Corporation officers were appointed as President and Secretary respectively, after which they were replaced by state civil servants entirely. 24 councilors were also appointed to represent the 24 zones of the municipality and to act as mediators between residents and the city council.[2][3]

On 1 July 2010, the municipal council was officiated by then Menteri Besar of Johor Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman. Its new logo and flag as well as new headquarters–the Aqabah Tower were also launched on that day.

In 2015, the administration area of Pasir Gudang Municipal Council was increased from 29,459.9ha to 31,732.24ha following the re-delineation exercise.[4] This made Masai and Bandar Seri Alam became a part of the Pasir Gudang Municipality.[5]

On 22 November 2020, the municipal council was upgraded to the Pasir Gudang City Council (MBPG; Malay: Majlis Bandaraya Pasir Gudang), but the declaration ceremony and the first mayor oath taking ceremony would not take place until 9 and 12 December 2021 respectively due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6][7]
