AMPANG, June 19 —The Selangor Penyayang roadshow, which took place at Taman Kosas in Ampang, drew almost 3,000 visitors of various ages and races from 7.30am up to noon today.
Aerobics activities, Mobile Legend e-sports competition, football competition for youngsters aged eight to ten, futsal competition while wearing batik, and floral arrangements were among the events held.
Aside from that, the crowd was entertained by well-known singer Datuk Nash and newcomer Iman Troye.
More people are expected to attend the programme, which runs until 5.30pm, and is aimed at promoting various welfare initiatives for the public with the support of 23 state government subsidiaries.
The initiative was made possible by a RM350 million commitment from Iltizam Selangor Penyayang to replace the Peduli Rakyat programme, allowing more residents to benefit from the state government’s initiatives.
This includes Bantuan Kehidupan Sejahtera Selangor (Bingkas), which has taken over from Kasih Ibu Smart Selangor (KISS), assisting up to 30,000 families instead of the previous 25,000.
The Selangor Saring programme, which costs RM1.5 million and serves 5,000 people, particularly those at risk, was also set up.
The programme’s opening ceremony was led by Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari, who then handed over the offer letter to the buyers of Rumah Selangorku, Land District Office assets for the District Disaster Operations Room, and prizes to the winners of the FPX Smart Selangor Citizen E-Payment campaign.
The roadshow is also scheduled to be held in Kuala Langat, Kuala Selangor, Petaling and Gombak.
