Sementara itu Timbalan Setiausaha Kerajaan (Pembangunan) Dato’ Johary Anuar yang merasmikan program berkata festival menjadi titik tolak untuk semua pihak menggembleng tenaga dan idea bagi mengembangkan lagi industri seni dan sastera negeri.

Selangor Sports Council executive director Mohamad Nizam Marjugi said all athletes and officials, including coaches, were listed for the biennial Games before the registration deadline on July 5.

Program bagi membantu usahawan memperkenal dan mengembangkan produk turut diserikan dengan pelbagai aktiviti menarik antaranya klinik usahawan Selangor, fiesta kopi, cabutan bertuah dan SELBIZ Run 2023.

He said this is to ensure that development, especially in the country’s major infrastructure aspects such as ports, highways and so on, is integrated with private sector initiatives, not just in the form of privatisation but through joint ventures with government planning.

Meanwhile, Amirudin also hoped that the government would look into the future of Malaysia Plans and shift its focus from not only infrastructure development projects by the government but also combining efforts with the private sector and companies.
