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.

Amirudin berkata, PBT akan melaksanakan terlebih dahulu kerja baik pulih itu sebelum memohon bantuan pusat di bawah Kementerian Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan (KPKT) yang menyediakan peruntukan RM35 juta bagi selenggara rumah kos rendah di Selangor dan Kuala Lumpur.

“The state economy contracted by -5.2 per cent in 2020 and recovered strongly by plus five per cent in the following year. We opine Selangor’s resiliency lies in the strength of its diversified manufacturing sector and huge consumer demand,” it said.

Ahmad said a total of 850,000 padi farmers, rubber smallholders and fishermen would each receive RM200 and this would involve financial allocation of RM170 million.
