“Keputusan perbincangan kemungkinan dimaklumkan akhir tahun ini kerana prosesnya agak rumit selain banyak isu perlu dilihat satu persatu,” katanya ditemui selepas merasmikan pusat obstetrik dan ginekologi Hospital Assunta di sini, hari ini.

State executive councillor for poverty eradication V. Papparaidu said the programme, aimed at the underprivileged and low-income groups across all 56 state constituencies, involves an allocation of RM7.51 million.

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.
