Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has been urged to explain why its mobile app KLCares, which was allocated RM1 million, appears to be defunct now after only one and a half years since its launch.

"I want the mayor, the person in charge, to come clean.

"What happened to this app? Why is it so expensive? Why is (the cost) so high and why is it not working anymore?" Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng said in a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.

He said he has been trying to contact DBKL on this matter since Wednesday, with little success.
