SHAH ALAM, Aug 23 — Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari today renewed his electoral pledge to deliver five cash incentives within the first 100 days of his second term in office if the Pakatan Harapan-Barisan Nasional unity pact won the August 12 state election.

He said the incentives were to tackle the challenges faced by Selangor residents, particularly for workers struggling with rising living costs in the current economy.

One of them is to provide 5,000 working mothers in the state RM1,000 each to help reduce their childcare costs.

He said the other four offers that will be fulfilled in 100 days include the exemption of assessment rates for village houses, and low-cost houses; 1,000 students in Selangor will receive Kita Selangor book vouchers worth RM200; increment of allowances for imam, bilal and siak; and RM1,000 incentive for 500 farmers, paddy farmers and fishermen through the Kita Selangor agriculture and fishery incentive.

“I am committed to making Selangor the most successful state, not only in Malaysia but in the region.

“This prosperity is not limited to economic success but encompasses high-paying job opportunities, innovative solutions to climate change, inclusive economic development, a people-centric approach, an expanded welfare program, and educational initiatives to empower the youth and women, ensuring fair compensation for their efforts,” he said.

He had earlier chaired the first meeting of the Selangor government for the 15th term at the foyer of the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Building here this morning.

Among the offers that Amirudin had announced previously include 200,000 units of Kita Selangor Homes priced at RM250,000 and below.

In the Selangor PH-BN offers, the unity alliance also pledged to reduce traffic congestion in the state, particularly on state roads and within local council areas.

These offers were part of the PH-BN’s Tawaran Kita Selangor: 'Five Determinations for Five Years'.
