SHAH ALAM, June 17 — Phase 2 of the Selangor Resilience Enhancement Package (SREP) will be tabled at a three-day special Selangor State Legislative Assembly sitting starting Friday, said Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari.
He added that this phase would focus on companies and economic subsectors affected by the West Asia conflict.
According to Amirudin, allocations for Phase 2 are larger than the first stage as it involves direct aid for certain companies and industries, though exact figures are still being discussed.
“The second phase package is expected to involve a bigger cost than the first phase because it covers certain exemption recommendations and contributions to affected companies,” he told a press conference on Monday after launching SREP at the State Secretariat Building.
Amirudin said the special assembly sitting would see assemblymen debate, study and give input on various initiatives designed by the state government.
“This sitting will be held for three days to give assemblymen enough room to discuss proposed recommendations and improve planned policies,” he explained.
RM131 million was allocated for SREP Phase 1, which took effect on Monday, to face challenges from the West Asia crisis. Selangor is the first Malaysian state to launch such an initiative.
When announcing SREP on March 16, Amirudin said it is aimed at boosting food security and controlling the inflation rate.
SREP provides targeted aid to vulnerable groups using funds under the 2026 Selangor Budget, which has been reallocated to meet current needs.
On May 7, the menteri besar said SREP execution was simplified to ensure aid is channelled quickly without burdening people in need.
Amirudin asserted that this is important so recipients of agriculture, voucher, and public transport subsidy aid aren’t subject to complicated procedures.
Allocations under Phase 1 of the SREP
RM50 million for the Selangor Food Warehouse (GMS) — Resilient food supply ensures prices of fresh ingredients don’t spike too high even when food imports decrease.
RM30 million in Kita Selangor vouchers — RM100 is distributed in voucher form to 50,000 residents per month for six months to ensure no one falls under the hardcore poverty line even if they lose their jobs this year.
RM25 million for farmers’ fuel and agricultural input costs — 180,000 padi farmers receive RM500 per hectare of land for one planting season, fishermen get RM300 per month for six months, and farmers/livestock breeders/aquacultivators get RM450 per month for six months.
RM14.4 million for free breakfasts — About 120,000 students in 965 schools will benefit from this scheme, to kick off in August.
RM10.4 million for public transport subsidies — RM30 is disbursed to 50,000 residents per month for six months to reduce costs of taking demand-responsive transit (DRT), buses, and trains.

RM6 million in entrepreneurial aid — Under Koperasi Hijrah Selangor (KOHIJRAH), retail and logistics cooperatives receive aid to reduce operational and equipment costs. Platform Selangor (PLATS) has been expanded so more local entrepreneurs may enjoy its benefits.
