Karachi Nazim, Mustafa Kamal placed among top-three world mayors

Here you go: http://www.foreignpolicy.com/story/cms.php?story_id=4509&page=3

I can't believe it when I saw vulgar comments from this unknow person for Aamir.  I don't know if one could go that far beyond the limits of ethics.  We need our beloved Nabi's (SAW) teachings for our society.  He tought love and how to take care of humanity.  He tought patience even for one's enemy, judgement when it comes to your own relationship.  Please Mr. ABC ask for forgiveness from Aamir, because your dirty comments can be seen all over the world, otherwise you will be held responsibel on judgement day.  Personally, I am not in favour of MQM, but when it comes to the efforts of City Mayor, he has done a great job, which was not done in decades for Karachi.  I remembered the time of Mr. Abdul Sattar Afghani, he was mayor twice but I haven't seen much development that Mr. Kamal has done so far.  I wish that we chose mayors like him for our all major town in Pakistan.

The Mayors of the Moment

No city globalizes on its own. But with shrewd investments and smart urban planning, a mayor can help turn a regional player into a global powerhouse. Here’s how three of the world’s top mayors are climbing the ladder:

---

1. Klaus Wowereit Mayor of Berlin (#17)

The concept of the global city isn’t lost on Klaus Wowereit. Since taking office in 2001, the popular, 55-year-old mayor of Berlin has tied his fate to rebranding the city as a glamorous, artistic model of urban renewal. And Berlin’s reputation has thrived as a vibrant, tolerant, creative metropolis under his watch. Wowereit cites the construction of a gigantic international airport, the successful 2006 World Cup, and a cultural festival called “Asia-Pacific Weeks” as landmark accomplishments. His critics claim that he focuses more on the city’s image than its crumbling infrastructure or budget shortfalls. “We are poor but sexy,” admits Wowereit. A fun fantasy it may be, but Berliners will probably only be willing to play the starving artist for so long.

2. Syed Mustafa Kamal Mayor of Karachi (#57)

The new mayor of Karachi is an unlikely poster child for innovative urban planning. The 36-year-old Syed Mustafa Kamal governs a city that’s more often in the news for religious violence than cosmopolitan ways. But the hard-charging Kamal is looking to change all that. He’s courting foreign investment, encouraging international ties, and boosting the city’s tourism. Kamal isn’t shy about his goals: He has said he wants to turn Karachi into the “next Dubai.” His Green Karachi project aims to plant thousands of trees in the city. No stranger to Karachi’s bare-knuckled politics, Kamal isn’t letting anything stand in the way of his grand plans: He has threatened to arrest anyone who tries to cut down the new saplings.

---

3. Wang Hongju Mayor of Chongqing (#59)

Think Michael Bloomberg has his hands full? Wang Hongju is mayor of the fastest-growing city on the planet, one whose metropolitan area is already bursting at 32 million—more than the population of Iraq. But Wang isn’t letting China’s urban revolution happen under his feet. He has been known to collect advice from citizens (for cash rewards), from mayors of sister cities such as Toronto, and even from the works of Thomas Friedman. Wang has sought heavy foreign investment, which his administration says has topped a whopping $3 billion in the past five years. In 2005, he claimed his antipoverty programs had helped 3 million Chongqing residents rise out of poverty in the previous eight years. Wang rarely shies from reporters’ questions, even about hot-button topics such as Tibet or SARS. His approach, a stark departure from Communist Chinese officials of old, has made the 63-year-old Wang the face of a new breed of Chinese mayors.

جناب مصطفی کمال صاحب آپ نے جس طرح ہمارے شہر کراچی کو ترقی کے اس حد تک پہنچایا ہے جس کا کوءی جواب نہیں ہے کراچی روشنیوں کے شہر کی رونق دوبارہ آپ نے بہال کرکے دکھاءی جس کا ثبوت کراچی کا بچہ بچہ دے سکتا ہے روڈ کشادہ سے کشادہ تر ہوگءے، انڈر پاس ہوگءےجس کی وجہ سے ٹریفک کا نظام بہت بہتر ہوگیا اوراس کے علاوہ پارک وغیرہ تو لاجواب ہیں جس کی وجہ سے شہر کراچی کی شان میں بہت اضافہ ہوگیا ہے اللہ تعالی آپ کو اس کا اجر عظیم عطا کرے کہ آپ ہم غریبوں کے بارے میں سوچ رہے ہیں ورنہ کءی حکومتیں آءیں اور چلیں گءیں لیکن ایسا کام دیکھنے کو نہیں ملا جس طرح آپ نے کر کے دکھایا ہے میری اس پاک پروردگار سے دعا ہے کہ وہ آپ کو اسی طرح محنت کرنے اور لوگوں کی بھلاءی کرنےکی ہمت عطا کرے اور اس کا اجر ہم جیسے غریبوں کی دعاءیں قبول کرنے کی صورت میں دے۔ 

جناب مصطفی کمال صاحب میری آپ سے ایک گزارش ہے وہ یہ کہ آپ نے کراچی میں اتنا کچھ کیا بہت اچھا کیالیکن ایک چیز کی کمی ابھی بھی موجود ہے وہ یہ کہ ہمارے ملک میں بے روزگاری بہت ہے پڑھے لکھے افراد بہت ہیں لیکن نوکریاں نہیں ہیں ڈگریاں لءے ہاتھ میں گھوم رہے ہیں لیکن روزگار کے مواقع ملتے نہیں ہیں آپ نے شہر کراچی کو اتنا اچھا کیا اتنا خوبصورت کیا سب ہمارے لءے کیا لیکن بے روزگاری بھی تو ختم کرنی چاہیے ہر چگہ لوگ بڑے بڑے اپارٹمنٹ بنا رہے ہیں بڑی بڑی بلڈنگ بنا رہے ہیں لیکن اس چیز کا کیا فاءدہ کیا لوگوں کے لءے صرف رہنا ضروری ہے صرف انہیں رہنے کے لءے چھت چاءیے نہیں جناب انہیں چھت سے پہلے زندہ رہنے کے لءے کھانے کو چاہیے اس کے لءے آپ نے کیا کیا ہم جیسے لڑکےکبھی ترقی نہیں کرسکتے ہیں وہ اس لءے کہ والدین ہم کو بڑی مشکل سے میٹرک کی تعلیم دیتے ہیں اس میں کتابوں کا خرچہ فیس اور اگر کوءی پراءیویٹ امتحان دینا چاہے تو کم سے کم جو میٹرکے کی داخلہ فیس کا خرچہ ہے وہ کم سے کم 1000کے قریب آجاتا ہے اس کے بعد ایڈمٹ کارڈ کے چکر ،بورڈ آفس کے چکر لگا لگا کر وہ تنگ آجاتا ہے بتاءیں ہم کس طرح اس کو مینچ کریں اگر کسی کی آمدنی 5000ہزار روپے ماہانہ ہے اور کمانے والا بھی ایک ہے وہ کس طرح آج کے دور میں 1000 آفورڈ کرسکتاہے آپ ہم سے بہتر جانتے ہیں کوءی بھی حکومت آتی ہے وہ سب سے پہلے روڈ بناتی ہے، بلڈنگ کھڑی کرتی ہے لیکن اس مسءلے کی طرف نہیں جاتی جس کی ہم سب کو ضرورت ہے کیا ہم لوگ اسی طرح دھکے کھاتے رہیں گے پیسے نہ ہونے کی وجہ سے پڑاءی سے دور ہوجاءیں گے اورپھر وہ ہی مزدوری بزرگ کہتے تھے کہ دن میں کام کرو رات کو پڑھو مجھے آپ بتاءیں گے کہ یہ کیسے ممکن ہے میں اور میرے جیسے کتنے لڑکے ہیں جو صبح کام سے گھر سے نکلتے ہیں اور رات کو گھر جاتے ہیں جنہیں پورا گھر چلانا ہوتا ہے وہ سارا دن دھیاری پر کام کرتے ہیں اور رات کو صرف اسلءے دیر سے جاتے ہیں کہ سو سے ڈیرھ سو روپے کی دھیا ری بن جاءے اتنا کام کرنے کے باوجود وہ صرف اتنا ہی کما سکتے ہیں کہ ان کا گھر چل سکے اور اتنے تھکے ہوءے ہوتے ہیں کہ بس چھوڑیں اس کو لیکن پڑھاءی کر سکتے ہیں میں مانتا ہوں اس چیز کو لیکن بغیر کسی استاد کے کیسے پڑیں جتنے بھی ٹیوشن استاد ہیں ان کی فیسِیں ہمارے مہنے بھر کے خرچے سے بھی زیادہ ہے مجھے بتاءیں کے ہم کیا کریں کیا کسی نے بغیر استاد کے بھی تعلیم حاصل کی کوءی بھی اپنی ماں کے پیٹ سے سیکھ کر کوءی چیز نہیں آتا اس کے لءے کوءی نا کوءی سکھانے والا ہوتا ہے بچہ اگر بولنا بھی سیکھتا ہے وہ بھی اسے سکھایا جاتا ہے میری آپ سے گزارش ہے کہ آپ کچھ ایسے ادارے بناءیں جہاں تعلیم کے ساتھ ساتھ لوگوں کو روزگار بھی فراہم ہو گا اگر ہم جیسے لوگ کارخانوں میں کام کرسکتے ہیں بڑے بڑے تاجروں کا کام کرسکتے ہیں جو اس ملک میں صرف کمانے کے لءے آتے ہیں تو کیا حکومت ایسے کارخانے قاءم نہیں کرسکتی جس سے مکمل طور پر حکومت کو منافع پہنچے اورروزگار کے مواقع بھی زیادہ سے زیادہ ملیں جب لوگ اپنے روزگار سے ستفید ہوں گے گھریلو پریشانیوں سے دور ہوں گے تب ہی آپ کے بناءے ہوءے پارکوں میں جاءیں گے کچھ ایسے ادارے بناءیں جہاں لوگوں کو روزگار کی فراہمی ممکن ہوسکے اور اگر ہوسکے تو بڑے بڑے جو بزنس کرنے والے ہیں انہیں بھی کہیں کے کچھ ایسے ادارے قاءم کریں جس ہمارے لوگوں کو بھی ٹیکنالوجی فراہم ہو ہم جیسے کام کریں گے تو ان کا بھی فاءدہ ہو گا اور ہمارا بھی ۔ اگر آپ غور کریں تو یہ بہت اچھا ہے جو کام باہر سے کروانے پڑتے ہیں وہ کام اگر ہمارے ملک میں ہی شروع ہوجاءیں تو اس سے ہمارے ملک کو کافی فاءیدہ ہوگا جس طرح چاءنا ہمارے ملک میں ہر چیز تیار کرکے بھیج رہا ہے اس طرح کیا ہم لوگ نہیں کرسکتے ہیں صرف سوچ کی بات ہے ہم لوگ کیا ان کی طرح سوچ ہیں رکھ سکتے یا صرف سیاست میں لڑتے جھگھڑتے رہیں گے بتاءیں سر ایسا کب تک چلے گا کیا غربت پاکستان کا پیچھا نہیں چھوڑے گی یا خدانخواستہ پاکستان ہی نہیں رہے گا یہ سچ ہے کہ ہم غریبوں کی وجہ سے پاکستان چل رہا ہے ہم لوگ محنت کرتے ہین تو پاکستان کے بڑے بڑے لوگوں کو منافع ہوتا ہے اور جب ہم جیسے غریب ہی نہیں رہے گے تو پھر کیا ہوگا کیا امیروں کے لاڈلے بچے مزدوری کریں گے مشینوں پر کام کریں گے کسی روڈ کے کسی مکینک کی دکان پر کام کریں گے کبھی نہیں کرسکیں گے اس لءے زرا سوچءے اس بارے میں روڈ بنانے سے کچھ نہیں ہوگاہمیں روڈ نہیں روزگار چاءیے جس کی وجہ سے ہم اپنا گھر چلا سکیں اور پیٹ بھر کھانا کھا سکیں۔   شکریہ

Mustafa Kamal's award of best Mayor is Fake

Reference : http://www.worldmayor.com/contest_2008/world-mayor-2008-results.html

The 2008 top 11 mayors
While the total numbers of votes cast for the mayors in the top eleven exceeded 85,000, the number of votes received by individual mayors did not have a significant bearing on the decisions by the judging panel of editors. They were primarily influenced by the passion and persuasiveness of testimonials bestowed to mayors. As some city leaders in the top eleven represent communities of several million people while others are mayors of cities of less than 500,000 residents, the City Mayors panel of editors was of the opinion that basing judgement on numbers alone would unfairly disadvantage mayors from smaller cities.

1	Helen Zille	Cape Town	South Africa

I agree with Mr.Sohail

there is nothing on the internet in any foreign website that our Nazim has won that award .. only pakistani journals and website reflecting the image...

ITS FAKE...

We realized that Mustafa Kamal has done a great job in these years which no other Nazim had done before. We respect him ( Not MQM). below is the link of the survey conducted by washington post.

The 2008 Global Cities Index

The Mayors of the Moment

 

http://www.foreignpolicy.com/story/cms.php?story_id=4509&page=3

Assalam Walaikum,

Why our people don't feel proud on our people. We should rate him as number one mayor of the world beacuse we dont know and interested in the world. Our whole world is our beloved country. We are not seeing what is developing in the cities of the world, we have to see what is going in our country and in our KARACHI.

I think we should be at least POSITIVE now. If you cannot accept MUSTAFA KAMAL as number one mayor, we dont care of you. We as Pakistani and Karachites proud on him on his work and efforts.

WEL DONE MUSTAFA KAMAL

Apart from where he belongs to...he has done an outstanding job. He is very much devoted to his people and city, that is what a quality of good leader. Because he is a borned Karachiite, he knows his city better than anyone else. I have been to Karachi recently and it was really shocking that the whole city has changed alot. Its nothing to do with any politics as the benefits are being enjoyed by every citizen equally. All we need is a good choice of well-educated people, and obviously thanks to MQM for bringing such a nice talented person who is doing his job sincerely. KEEP IT UP.

Please see the website http://www.foreignpolicy.com/story/cms.php?story_id=4509&page=3 carefully and you will notice that he is ranked 2nd among the top 3 positions. The number (#57) infornt of his name  denotes the city ranking of Karachi according to business activity, human capital, information exchange, cultural experience and political engagement.

Look same is with the number one mayor Klaus Wowereit Mayor of Berlin (#17). Here (#17) denotes his city ranking that is Berlin.

I hope everybody will now undestand. Cheers.

 

Agar Koi Gandee Aur Ghaleez Zabaan Istemaal Karta Hai To Woh Apne Under Chupee Huee Ghilaazat Ko Zaahir Ker Deta Hai. Aisee Zabaan Se Woh Apnee Nasal Zaahir Kartaa Hai. Yaad Rakho Keh Chaand Kee Taraf Munh Kae Ke Thooko Gey To Tumhara Thook Tumhara Apne Chehray Per Hee Aaye Gaa.........Syed Mustafa Kamal Ke Bemisaal Kaarnamon Se Kitabein Likhee Jaa Saktee Hain.Yeh Sapoot Fakhr-e-Pakistan Hai. Poori Qaum Ko Iss Aizaaz Per Fakhr Karnaa Chaahiyey. Aur Syed Mustafa Kamal Ko Apnee Kaarkardagee Mazeed Behter Bananee Chahiyay.  

 

Dear All,

 

I have seen most of cmments those are not accepting the Hard work, planing, city services of Mr. Mustafa Kamal, I reuqest all of them please read my comments religiously you will accept the truth,

 

Ranking #57 is for Karachi city not for Mayors selection, Its an other servey for economical / business / political ranking and only for city its not about the Mayor selection and his efforts / planning and services. its belong with ranking of city not for Mayor,.

 

Lets go 3 years back, No infrastructure  / no sewearge system / no civic sense / no call center / no bridges's nets / no under passes / no signal free coridores / Traffic jamed / No community police (they are doing good job to helps elders and citizens) / No lights on road and street / street cricket was disappeared from Karachi due to broken roads / No designated and beautiful bus stops / No parking Plazas / No Karachi ownership programm / No green belt / No communication with Residents of city of CDGK... etc (please think religiously you will found more). But all are now exist.

 

World Mayor, a project organised by the urban affairs think tank City Mayors, aims to raise the profile of mayors worldwide as well as to honour those who have made long-lasting contributions to their communities and are committed to the well-being of cities nationally and internationally. According to city residents from all continents, a great mayor must possess these qualities: leadership and vision, good management abilities, social and economic awareness, ability to provide security and to protect the environment as well as having the skill to foster good relations between communities from different cultural, racial and social backgrounds. The World Mayor Project was first carried out in 2004.

 

Methodology to select a Mayor for best,

 

The 2008 World Mayor Project was conducted over an 18-month period, starting in spring 2007. During 2007, City Mayors, the organisers of the project, invited a worldwide audience to submit nominations of mayors deemed worthy of being among the most outstanding city leaders in the world. More than 74,000 voters nominated a total of 820 mayors for this year's World Mayor Award. Some mayors received thousands of nominations while others collected only a handful. The organisers of World Mayor 2008 only considered those nominations which were accompanied by supporting testimonials.

 

I Thought you need to take some analytical and patriortic skills before sending this types of -ve propaganda and creating a bad impression of a good / dedicated person, Its not about MQM, its about dignity, integrity and dedication of his work,
