“We are focusing on the networks we have at the state, federal and unity government (component party) levels to connect with the voters,” he told reporters after the ‘Ziarah Kasih Bersama Pemimpin Berpengaruh’ programme in Sungai Duri here today.

Exco Belia, Sukan dan Keusahawanan Selangor, Mohd Najwan Halimi berkata, beliau difahamkan sudah lebih RM40,000 dapat dikumpulkan dalam tempoh kurang 48 jam selepas tabung itu dilancarkan pada Rabu.

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.
