SHAH ALAM, Nov 13 — Approximately 2,201 projects under the community-focused Kita Selangor Penyayang development initiative have been approved over the past five years, the Selangor State Legislative Assembly heard today.
Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari said the projects costing RM129.3 million cover all 56 state constituencies to ensure no area is left behind.
“These included 464 projects to upgrade roads, drains and ditches, 352 projects involving sports and recreational facilities, 175 projects involving schools and religious education institutions, and 434 projects involving places of worship and religious facilities.
“In addition, 79 projects worth RM34.3 million to repaint low-cost apartments were approved across 44 state constituencies to improve the quality of the people’s living environment,” he said when tabling the 2027 Selangor Budget.
The projects also include rural and Orang Asli communities, with 17 development projects implemented in Orang Asli villages.
“The reported project completion rate of 99.4 per cent reflects the state government’s ability to ensure that development allocations translate into tangible outcomes that benefit the people,” Amirudin said.
The state government is committed to continuing and strengthening the initiative next year, focusing on maintaining and upgrading public amenities, developing community infrastructure, and addressing grassroots needs.
Accordingly, the state government will continue the Kita Selangor Penyayang initiative with an allocation of RM20 million.
Meanwhile, Amirudin said the state will allocate RM9 million next year for the maintenance, repair, and upgrading of government assets, including repairs to dilapidated government quarters.
“This will not only extend the lifespan of existing assets but also prevent more serious damage, reduce the need for new construction and generate long-term savings,” he said.
As of October this year, 47 sub-districts have benefited from the initiative, with implementation progress reaching 94 per cent at an estimated cost of RM7.74 million.
