“Experiences like these must be recorded for the reference of future generations who are interested to learn about past experiences on economics, social and politics, and the way Selangor was developed to become among the most progressive state.
“The transitional era started in 2008 and they had certainly faced a crisis management environment effectively,” he said when inaugurating the Majlis Makan Malam Anugerah Jasamu Dikenang (AJD) Pentadbiran Setiausaha Kerajaan Selangor 2016 at Holiday Villa Hotel & Suites, on December 14.
