“The total number of educators and schools involved will be known after the PTRS 2024 Workshop is held later,” he said to SelangorKini.

“Jumlah keseluruhan tenaga pengajar dan sekolah terlibat akan diketahui selepas Bengkel PTRS 2024 diadakan nanti,” katanya kepada Selangorkini.

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.
