Establishment of the JPP is an initiative taken by the Federal Government to implement the transformation of urban management as it is currently almost 70% of the country's population lives in the city. With the establishment of the JPP, the Federal Government can assist the State Government and the Local Authorities (PBTs) to interact directly with the residents and bring any issues to be dealt with together. This is because there are municipal issues whose jurisdiction lies under the control of Federal Government agencies such as health, transportation, security, housing, environment and others. Indirectly, the establishment of JPP can reduce the burden and responsibility of the Local Authorities in the area of ​​urban well-being and enable them to focus more on other major affairs.

Establishment of the JPP will provide opportunities and encourage participation of people in program and development programs in urban areas to enhance neighborhood sustainability. Hence, the people have the opportunity to engage in the views and problems faced by the local community for action by the Government.

Three (3) main objectives of the establishment of JPP are as follows:

1. Encourage community participation in local program and development;
2. Assist in addressing City's well-being issues and further enhancing Government service delivery systems; and
3. Establishing good relationships between communities in local neighborhoods

The roles and functions that JPP can play are as follows:

1. communicate information to locals on the policies, laws, guidelines, regulations, initiatives, programs and activities of the authorities;
2. creating unity among urban residents through the active participation of the population in self-help activities;
3. cooperate with the authorities to monitor the security of the neighborhood;
4. assisting the authorities in addressing hygiene, health and environmental issues;
5. assisting the authorities in planning, implementing and monitoring the implementation of infrastructure projects, public utilities and urban socio-economic; and
6. channeling information, feedback, complaints, problems, requests or needs from grassroots level to improving service delivery system.

JPP is administered by the Chairman and assisted by the Secretary and eight (8) committee members as follows:

• Women's Development Bureau
• Youth and Sports Bureau
• Economic and Financial Bureau
• Social Bureau and ICT
• Complaints and Welfare Bureau
• Security Bureau
• Education Bureau, Human Capital and Spirituality
• Bureau of Hygiene, Health and Environment

The establishment of RT is based on the application submitted to the National Unity and Integration Department (JPNIN) while the RA is based on the application submitted to the Department of Registry of Malaysia and limited to certain housing areas. On the other hand, JPPs are set up in each zone that covers the entire area within the zone of each PBT. The RT and RA functions only focus on security issues, unity, community welfare and racial harmony in certain housing areas and monitored by JPNIN only (for RT) without direct involvement with PBT.

Through the establishment of JPP, community participation in PBT governance can be improved in addressing urban well-being issues such as planning, landscape management, environmental pollution, crime rate increase, squatter settlements, social phenomena, vandalism and other municipal issues.

These societies or associations focus only on certain aspects such as religious and social security. The distribution is randomly and involves only certain areas. Population associations are only active in their residential area and less interact with PBT.

Through the establishment of JPPs, establishments or associations moving in the PBT area can also be adjusted to ensure that the programs implemented do not overlap with each other and PBT can take a comprehensive and collective action to address the issues of urban well-being raised by the population.

The main roles of MPP are as follows:

1. coordinate the implementation of urban well-being programs in each JPP zone in PBT;
2. get feedback on urban well being issues; and
3. review and discuss development program proposals and projects at the JPP level.

1. Malaysian citizens aged between 21 to 65 years of age;
2. Academic qualification of at least Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) and its equivalent;
3. Priority is given to residents who are actively involved in establishments, associations or charitable works;

7. The selection of JPP candidates from among civil servants and professionals should be encouraged to open minds and implement Urban management;
8. Chairman's election should be among influential opinion leaders

10. Other terms set forth from time to time by KPKT.
