Menteri Besar Selangor, Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, berkata negeri itu berada di tempat ketiga dengan pelaburan sebanyak RM12 bilion pada suku pertama tahun ini, selepas berada di kedudukan kedua keseluruhan dengan meraih pelaburan RM55 bilion untuk setahun penuh 2023.

Its chief executive officer Datuk Mahmud Abbas said the residences, to be built in Petaling Jaya and in Section 13, Shah Alam, will be pilot projects, marking a new goal for the state entity in the six decades since its founding.

The state government, Amirudin said, had established the Selangor Rice and Rice Regulatory Authority (KSPDS) to handle issues related to shortages of stock in shops and markets.

"Namun, hasrat kerajaan negeri ini merupakan pelaksanaan yang membabitkan satu dasar besar dan memerlukan sokongan kewangan daripada kerajaan Persekutuan, selain kelulusan serta kebenaran daripada pemilik tanah berkaitan," katanya.

Amid reports of delays in Selangor over the land acquisition for the project, Amirudin said the matter was under a special committee comprising state and ECRL representatives.
