KUALA LANGAT, May 20 — The state government has recorded RM1 billion of revenue in the first quarter of this year, says Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari.
Based on the current performance, Amirudin said he is confident that Selangor would be able to hit its revenue target of RM2.05 billion this year.
Following that, the Menteri Besar expressed his appreciation for the efforts and sacrifices made by all civil servants, departments and the community who had worked hard to develop the state.
“Hopefully, the relationship between all parties and the community will become closer. Every allocation and policy made by the state government will be channelled back to all the people,” he said when delivering his speech during the state-level Hari Raya Aidilfitri open house programme at Jugra Stadium, here last night.
Last year, the Selangor government managed to collect RM2.23 billion in revenue, surpassing the initial target of RM2.2 billion.
However, this year’s target was lowered to RM2.05 billion due to the prolonged Covid-19 pandemic that started in March 2020.
