In 2014, Malang City successfully won the Adipura Kencana Award. In 2015, the city known as the City of Education is trying to maintain the award in the field of cleanliness and environmental management.

Some time ago, the jury team had conducted an assessment to Malang City. According to the Mayor of Malang, H. Moch. Anton, his party is optimistic that they can win the Adipura Kencana award again in 2015.
"We from the Malang City Government have tried our best, and given our best when the assessment was carried out. We ask for the support of all Malang City residents so that Adipura Kencana can be brought back this year," hoped the number one person in the Malang City Government, Saturday (23/5).
The verification results from the jury team, added the man who is often called Abah Anton, have been very good so far. He hopes that on June 5, Malang City can win Adipura Kencana again. "Without the support of all citizens, it is impossible for Malang City to win any awards, especially in the field of cleanliness," he added.
"For the success in waste management, namely through Bank Sampah Malang (BSM) for one, it will be broadcast on a national television later, and also Blitar City for its forest management. With this maximum effort, we hope to win the Adipura Kencana award again this year," concluded Abah Anton. (say/yon)
