SHAH ALAM, June 1 — The First Selangor Plan (RS-1) announced in July last year outlines over 200 long-term development projects, said Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari.
He said the five-year plan also includes welfare initiatives to strengthen the service delivery system for the people.
Amirudin also expressed the wish to make Selangor a sustainable state, so as to balance development and guarantee social security.
“As the nation’s most developed state, Selangor has outlined 262 projects via RS-1, which also includes welfare, empowerment, and sustainability initiatives.
“We should start digitising government services, so the people receive benefits and civil servants can be assisted with the use of technology,” he said during the engagement session on the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP), earlier today.
Meanwhile, Amirudin said the Sabak Bernam Development Area (Sabda) initiative to transform the district into a logistics and smart agriculture hub will be launched sometime next week.
“As such, I hope some of RS-1’s aspects can be applied in the 12MP half-term study, which is being worked on,” he said.
Sabda, a part of RS-1, encompasses the development of high-value crops over an approximate 1,317 hectares of area, which is expected to yield up to RM248 million annually.
Several of its main projects include the development of the Sekinchan fish landing complex, the construction of rest and treatment (R&R) centres, and the soft drink (air manis) business centre.
