SHAH ALAM, Nov 13 — Selangor will allocate RM100 million to continue implementing Bantuan Kehidupan Sejahtera Selangor (BINGKAS), targeting 30,000 beneficiary families next year.
Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari said the state government will also enhance its implementation through the phased introduction of MyKad as a transaction medium.
“This will make it easier for beneficiaries to access their allocated benefits while reducing reliance on e-wallet-based transaction methods.
“For 2027, the state government will allocate RM100 million to continue the implementation of BINGKAS, targeting 30,000 beneficiary families,” he said when tabling the 2027 Selangor Budget during the Selangor State Legislative Assembly sitting today.
Under BINGKAS, families with at least two children under the age of 18 will receive a RM300 allowance.
“For the vulnerable individuals category, an allowance of RM150 per month will be provided for each eligible individual, targeting 10,000 beneficiaries.
“The execution of BINGKAS will be strengthened through a more targeted approach, based on household composition and specific needs,” Amirudin said.
Under this new approach, BINGKAS benefits will be directed toward families with dependent children and vulnerable individuals.
“This approach represents a step toward ensuring that social assistance in Selangor serves not merely as a safety net, but also as a catalyst for enhancing the resilience and social mobility of families.
“The state government remains committed to ensuring that Selangor’s social protection network continues to safeguard families in need, particularly in the face of rising costs of living and household expenses,” he said.
