It has been two years since Pakatan Rakyat was sworn in as the Selangor State Government. Thepast two years have been rewarding as we have introduced new policies and programmes rangingfrom the Merakyatkan Ekonomi Selangor (MES) programme and the Economic Stimulus Package tomeasures ensuring greater transparency and public accountability. Administrative reform is notoften easy but I am proud to assure our rakyat in Selangor that indeed we are well on our way tobecoming a more efficient and effective state government.

“Governing Selangor: Policies, Programmes and Facts” is a collation of more than 20 policy factsheets that captures the many key achievements of the Selangor government over the last two years. Every portfolio as carried by each of our Selangor Executive Council members has beendetailed in a concise fashion for our readers. It provides an easy snapshot of highlighted policiesand programmes we have initiated. I welcome you to examine these achievements with us.

I would like to thank every member of the Selangor State Government for all their hard work overthe past two years in contributing to our success to date. I am grateful for the encouragement andclose co-operation that we have managed to establish. Although there may be moments of disagreement, I am humbled by the ability of all parts of the bureaucracy to make a strong commitment to working together ultimately for the benefit of the rakyat. I also thank members ofthe business community, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in civil society, trade commissions, departments and agencies, community organisations, and the media – all as stakeholders in society without whose valuable contributions through consultations the Selangorgovernment would not run as smoothly.

Selangor continues to be the most vibrant state in Malaysia, the urban centre that contributes more than 20 percent to the national economy. A thriving economy and business hub; sustainabledevelopment; a caring society; a green, clean and safe environment to live in, and an educatedand critical thinking people; equal opportunities for all alike; a culture of meritocracy and excellence; are all aspirations of the Selangor government.

We envision a society that is engaged with the state government, as we believe all people havethe right and responsibility to contribute to nation-building. We envision a better quality of life forour people in all aspects, and as such all our programmes are crafted toward that end in mind.

I am confident that with the successful implementation of such fresh policy initiatives and programmes, Selangor will continue to be the pride and joy of the nation at large. I invite you to join us in this exciting journey ahead, 2010 and beyond.

Thank You for your support.


Foreword by Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Abdul Khalid bin Ibrahim,

Dato’ Menteri Besar Selangor


On behalf of Pakatan Rakyat, I would like to thank the people of Selangor for the mandate andtrust given to Pakatan Rakyat. This trust vested in us, we accept with humility.

The responsibility to govern a state as complicated and diverse as Selangor is far more challengingthan to be elected in the first place. Fortunately, the state leadership and wakil rakyats have showncommendable focus to go through the steep learning curve to do justice to the trust given by thepeople.

The State Government, under the leadership of Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim, has remained true to the very foundation that had brought PKR, PAS and DAP together in PakatanRakyat – that is to put the people as the utmost priority. This was translated into a comprehensivepro-people programs under the banner of ‘Merakyatkan Ekonomi Selangor’ (MES) that havetouched the lives of so many people in ways that had not been done before.

As at 31 December 2009, the total funds that have been distributed and returned to the people by the State Government through MES is RM248 million. There are about 1.5 million peoplein Selangor who benefitted directly through the Free Water Scheme while funds have been provided to help senior citizens, new parents and students who are qualified to receive funding assistance from the State Government. At the same time, the state economy continues to growand attract investments; enabling such pro-people programs to be continued in the future.

I have no doubt that the State Government will continue to improve and serve the people better.This success is especially due to the civil servants; without whose support Pakatan Rakyat would nothave been able to implement the programs smoothly.

With the combined efforts and focus shown by everyone thus far, Selangor will remain a modelstate where economic progress goes hand in hand with people’s welfare.

Klang River Basin Rehabilitation project

Efforts to clean the Klang River have been unsuccessful inthe past. The Selangor government today envisions a future where its rivers are clean and pristine, its riverbanks contributing to an environment of sustainable development,and most importantly centred upon the community. The 3stages are in Klang; Shah Alam, Subang Jaya and PetalingJaya; and finally in Ampang Jaya. We believe this will restorethe pride we have in our natural resources.

Mutiara) Kuala Selangorii. Bukit Botak, Selayangiii. Villaria, PJS 5, Petaling Jaya

Urban renewal

Selangor being an urbanised state has many urban centresin need of renewal and revitalisation. Target areas are agedand dilapitated areas, as well as those facing congestionand over-population. By providing a vision towards sustainable living, the Selangor government takes a holisticapproach in providing a green lung to its cities.

• A two-pronged objective to increase income of farmers and to move toward technology-based agriculture.

• 5 year plan to increase yield in Kuala Selangor and Sabak Bernam.

Public transportation usage has declined significantly from35% in 1980 to 16% at present. As a result, private car usageincreases traffic congestion, the Klang Valley being a casein point. Selangor envisions a state with smooth traffic flowwith at least 60% public transport usage, an integrated service between rail and bus services. Through co-operationwith the to-be-formed Land Public Transport Commission, Selangor hopes to form a Klang Valley Transport Council toenhance efforts at the local and state government levels.

Restructuring of Selangor Water Services Industry

As part of a national initiative, Selangor and the FederalGovernment have been in talks to restructure the state’swater services industry. The objective is to reverse past privatisation gone wrong, where some water concessioncompanies were unable to deliver their services efficiently or with high quality.

• Past problems: i. Privatising water services so the state was no

longer in chargeii. Not all companies had the right expertise nor

capital iii. Capital had to come from Federal Government

• Selangor aims to achieve a water services industry that has the following features: i. A holistic water services industry ii. Water industry run by the Selangor governmentiii. Low water tariffs for the benefit of the rakyativ. A highly efficient industry with high quality and

good services• Selangor gave an original offer to the concession

companies that was reasonable and with sufficient returns to investment.i. Accepted by SPLASH and ABASS, rejected by

PUNCAK and SYABASii. This holistic model is ideal

• Selangor government is still in negotiation with the Federal Government to emerge with a solution that can resolve the numerous problems faced by the water services industry.




TRANSPARENT AND ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNMENT

The Pakatan Rakyat government in Selangor is committed to governance based on the principlesof competency, public accountability and transparency. Its policies and programmes have beencarefully crafted in accordance with these standards. The Selangor government believes that access to information empowers people to make decisions and ultimately allows them to keepgovernments accountable in a system of check and balance. We continue to being committed inimproving transparency in our administration and all decision-making processes, and as such arewelcome to receiving public feedback to further enhance our governing of Selangor.

Key Achievements

1. Selangor Select Committee on Competency, Accountability and Transparency (SELCAT)

The Selangor State Legislative Assembly formed the Select Committee on Competency, Accountability and Transparency (SELCAT) for the purpose of holding public hearings on alleged discrepancies in the running of the state. Established under existing provisions in the Selangor constitution and assembly standing orders, it investigates complaints that are received, requests documents and sworn statements from those involved, and then issues summonses to them to appear before it, including members of the public and civil servants where relevant.

o The Contempt of the House Enactment 2008 was also passed, making it compulsory for those summoned to attend SELCAT hearings. It provides for a fine and jail term for non-compliance.

o Prosecution is only upon consent of the Attorney-General and under jurisdiction of the police. o SELCAT consists of both Pakatan Rakyat and Barisan Nasional state assemblymen, with the Assembly Speaker as

Chairman. o Investigations: o Dissolution of Balkis, the Wives of Elected Selangor Representatives Welfare Organisation and its expenditureso Investigation into RM500,000 allocation of funds to state assemblymen

2. Public Declaration of State Executive Councillors’ Assets

The decision was made to conduct public declaration of the State Exco members’ assets, including the Menteri Besar. Allassets obtained and disposed of since assuming their positions in the state government from March 2008 onwards are now published on the official Selangor state government website on www.selangor.gov.my.

o Public declaration of assets includes incomes drawn, donations and benefits in kind and bank loan agreementso Reason for limiting to assets after March 8th 2008: to ensure Exco members are not to misuse their positions for

wrongful gain while in office.


3. Declassification of Information under the Official Secrets Act (OSA) 1972

The Official Secrets Act (OSA) 1972 prohibits the dissemination of classified information. However, the Menteri Besar is able to declassify information under his powers of Section 2A of the OSA, which has been utilised over the past two years.

o State information that has been declassified to date: o Bukit Botak Housing Development project, accompanied by a white papero Bukit Ceraka Housing Development projects (Alam Perdana and Alam Mutiara projects respectively with white

papers)o Reforestation Development Project under the Selangor Agricultural Development Corporation (PKPS)o Yayasan Basmi Kemiskinan (YBK) Issue o The Selangor government also successfully pressured the Federal Government into declassifying the Bukit

Antarabangsa Landslide Report for the benefit of the victims and their families.

4. Open Tenders

In the past, negotiated tenders was the norm of the state government. However, in a move to enhance competitivenessand quality of products and services, the Selangor government has gradually opted for the practice of open tenders. Amongst which are:

o Projects under the State Economic Stimulus Package o Past negotiated contracts that expire will come under open tenders in time to come

5. Freedom of Information (FOI) Enactment

In order to overcome the restrictions posed by the OSA, the Selangor government formed a Taskforce to work towards the formation of a Freedom of Information (FOI) Enactment. During its celebration of the World Press Freedom Day in May 2009, the Selangor government committed to tabling it in the Selangor State Legislative Assembly. This is expected to be done in the first sitting in 2010. The FOI Enactment would apply to all state-level agencies and departments.

o Steps towards the FOI Enactment:o Formation of FOI Taskforce headed by a State Excoo Drafting of the FOI Enactmento Tabling it to the State Legislative Assembly o Formation of a Select Committee on FOI at the State Legislative Assemblyo FOI Select Committee to study the draft FOI Enactmento FOI Select Committee to conduct public consultations with key stakeholderso FOI Enactment to be tabled for second and third readings at State Legislative Assemblyo FOI Enactment enacted by the State Legislative Assembly and passed as law

6. Selangor Legislative Assembly Service Commission Enactment (SELESA)

The Selangor Legislative Assembly Service Commission Enactment (SELESA) has been proposed for discussion in an attempt to practice separation of powers between the Executive and Legislature at the State level. This would ensure the Selangor State Legislative Assembly has its own administration, budget and structure. However, this is still under discussion.




Better Financial Management

The National Audit Department commended the Selangorgovernment on its financial performance in 2008 as its revenuesincreased and debts owed to the state were successfully reduced,which the state considers an achievement. The Selangorgovernment has since continued to introduce measures onimproving its financial management.

• The Ops Kutip initiative started in July 2009 o With the co-operation of the Selangor Land

Office (PTG), ICT Department and all District LandOffices throughout Selangor.

o A “Knock-Door Policy” where land-owners of premises that have not paid their land premiums are requested to make payments immediately

o Incentives to reduce fines for late payments from individuals and companies of up to 50% have been introduced to increase land premium collection

o Reductions of up to 100% are determined by the Land Office.

o All fine reductions are subject to strict terms and conditions.

• District Land Offices’ collections contribute up to 70%of the State revenues. o Incentives for District Land Offices’ performance

will be given subject to success of their collection.o RM100,000 to be given to the successful District

Land Officeo Such incentives provide the motivation required

to expedite collection• Other proposals to increase state revenues;

o Speed up the process of title-application to increase premium collection

o Increase land premium collection through e-payment online, increase payment counters

o Increase land premium collection by providing incentives to land-owners to extend their leases after 99 years

o State government to acquire land if sand-stealingactivities are found on their property

Debt Recovery

The Selangor government for the first time has successfullyrecovered the debts that belonged to several state-ownedcompanies. The objective of this debt recovery exercise is toincrease state revenues. More importantly, people nowhave full access to the status of the money they indirectly in-vested in these companies as tax-paying rakyat to the Se-langor government. This allows them to constantly monitorand keep the government accountable to the contributionsthey have made over the years.

Details of the Talam Debt Recovery Project:

o Talam Corporation Bhd. (Talam) is a developer that has managed projects involving state-owned companies

o Talam owes three state-owned companies debts totalling RM391.99 million altogether.

o The three companies are Kumpulan Hartanah Selangor Berhad (KHSB), Universiti Industri Selangor (PIYSB) and Permodalan Negeri Selangor Berhad (PNSB).

o The debts of more than 10 years were never paid norrecognised by any of the related parties.

o Summarised Process of Talam Debt Recovery:o Formation of Talam Debt Recovery Taskforceo Strategy to recover debt owed by Talam determinedo All steps in accordance with the law and corporate

governanceo The process involved the State government, Selangor

Investment Corporation (SIC, a state-owned company) and Menteri Besar Incorporated (MBI, a state-owned company).1 RM392 worth of debts was confirmed and

crystallised from the books of the three companies, all validated through Board of Directors’ resolutions respectively

2 The Selangor government took over the debts through an agreement, again validated through Board of Directors’ resolutions.

3 SIC bought over the debts and transferred it to MBI, who paid for the debts through a grant from the state government worth RM392 as passed by the Selangor State Legislative Assembly in November 2009.

4 MBI is now responsible for the debt collection of RM392 million from Talam

5 The process of negotiations have begun to recoup these debts owed to the state

6 Talam’s assets are estimated at RM1 billion consisting of land, shares, property and other assets.

7 After negotiations, an estimated RM50 million of the RM392 million has been agreed to be immediately recovered.

8 Legal fees amounting to RM700,000 were paid aspart of the exercise. No other fees were made as no external consultants were used.

• Benefits to the State governmento The Talam Debt Recovery Project is a case study,

one in which the Selangor government has successfully managed to crystallise debts that were previously unaccounted for and tucked away within a complex of company accounts.

o Ultimately, RM392 million worth of previously unrecognised debts will be recovered to the state government.

o No efforts were previously made to recoup these debts

o Tax-paying Selangor residents are able to monitorthe status of debts oweing to the state

Selangor State Budget 2010

The Selangor 2010 budget is RM1.3 billion, which is areduction of RM100 million or 7.14% compared to the 2009budget totalling RM1.4 billion. Selangor aims for a balancedbudget, and this year it is no different.

STATE FINANCES

The Selangor government stresses the need for value for money in managing its finances at all layers: state, local and municipal levels. This is such that no unnecessary wastage of the rakyat’s money takes place, and all people get the mostoptimum return on their taxes paid. We emphasise the need for responsible financial management in a transparent and accountable manner and have implemented measures to recoup state debts, increase state revenues and cut costs for amore efficient and lean government. Providing full information about our state finances is also a way to keep the state government accountable (please refer to the Transparent and Accountable Government Factsheet).



State Revenue

The estimated revenue for 2010 is broken up

into three parts: tax revenue of RM460,020,000

making up 35.39% of the budget, a reduction

of RM2,980,000 or 0.64%; non-tax revenue of

RM422,679,000 making up 32.51%, a reduction

of RM107,321,000 or 20.25% and other revenue

of RM417,301,000 making up 32.1%, an increase

of RM10,301,000 or 2.53% compared with 2009.

The reduction in the Selangor revenues is due

to the global economic downturn that had an

effect upon the Malaysian economy as a

whole.

Since Pakatan Rakyat became government on March 10, 2008, Selangor has achieved the:

• Highest number of industrial projects in both 2008 and 2009

• Highest number of jobs created in both 2008 and 2009

• 2nd highest* in total capital investment in both 2008 and 2009

*Although Sarawak led all states in total capital investment in both 2008 and 2009, this achievement was due to massive in-vestment into a single aluminum smelting project in Bintulu worth over USD 2 billion (approximately RM7 billion). Such a proj-ect is not suitable for Selangor due to its highly polluting and power-hungry nature. If this aluminum smelting project isexcluded from consideration, Selangor would be the top state with the highest total capital investment in Malaysia for both

2008 and 2009.

Selangor continues to be committed in attracting investment, promoting a business-friendly environment and meeting regu-larly with industry players in order to ascertain improvements to trade and industry developments in Selangor. Please see Se-langor Investment Statistics for 2008 and 2009 at the end of the Factsheet.

NON-MUSLIM AFFAIRS

The Selangor government believes in the constitutional right of all Malaysians to profess and practise their respective religions freely. We are committed to ensuring that adherents of all faithsreceive the proper care and attention, and that their concerns are dealt with in a compassionate,reasonable and transparent manner. Hence, one of the first important steps taken after PakatanRakyat took over Selangor was the revamping of the Selangor Non-Muslim Council. Apart from this,the Selangor government has also met with the Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and Taosim and intends to make such meetings regular.



Selangor Non-Muslim Council

In the revamping of the Selangor Non-Muslim Council, nu-merous consultations with representatives of all major reli-gious groups/bodies took place. As a result the followingamendments were made to the guidelines of the SelangorNon-Muslim Council. It is also important to note that the es-tablishment of these guidelines is significant as it marks atransparent and clear method of dealing with non-Muslimplaces of worship, which was non-existent previously.

Patients In 2009 the Selangor State began a programme where selected poor patients (poverty guideline of RM 1500 and below) were given RM 60 per dialysis treatment.However in 2010 the policy for haemodialysis assis

tance has been modified to give each patient a

one-off subsidy of RM 2000. This is to enable more

people to receive aid.

o Cataract surgery

The Selangor State initiated a program where the State would pay for intraocular lenses used in Cataract surgery. The basis of this policy is that many poor patients

avoid going for Cataract Surgery because they can

not afford to pay for the lenses which cost

approximately RM 400-600, even though the surgery

itself is free in Public Hospitals.

o Minor surgery

Minor surgeries that cost below RM 2,000 are subsidised for selected poor patients. However if the surgery costs more than RM2000, aid is capped at RM 2000.

Key Achievements

1. Theatre

“Teater Menunggu Kata Dari Tuhan” or “Awaiting the Word from God” by Dinsman is one of the successful performances to date. This performance not only lives up to edutainment as it has educational contents, but it has also been performed internationally amongst the grassroots. It changes the perception that theatre is for the elite alone.

2. Theatre Buildings and Gallery

As in Tasik Shah Alam, the Shah Alam Cultural Gallery has been constructed, expanding facilities within each district to encourage theatre activities and community interaction. We successfully launched such a programme in Hulu Selangor in early 2010. We expect three more such facilities to be built this year.

3. Walking Festival

This is a people’s festival held twice a year. All kinds of games are watched and played, including:

• Teng-teng• Batu seremban• Congkak• Sepakraga bulatan• Martial arts - Silat, Silmbau and Wushu• Gasing• Champuling• Gamelan• Jurugudur (india)• Galah Panjang

CULTURE

The present Selangor government has injected new life into the portfolio on culture, giving it a

much needed redefinition, translated into programmes that are widespread and targeted to the

public. Culture as we understand it is not limited to merely dance and song, but is really a part of a

community’s everyday living, including the socialisation process and language. Costumes and

food are hence natural manifestations of culture. We focus on content through edu-tainment in-

stead of mere entertainment.



4. Cultural Interaction with the Rakyat

An annual event ala telematch is held to increase the cross-cultural interactions between the city and village folk. Amongst the games played are as follows:

• Coconut-scraping • Cycling• Tug of war

These are efforts to restore a community of culture that has been lost. We desire for the youth and new generations to embrace cultural values for the future. Other activities are such as:

• Mari Bercerita, or Let’s Tell Stories

Programmes such as Kisah Benar that is a cultural norm amongst school-going children have been introduced to the communities. These programmes will be introduced at school and public libraries in time to come.

• Mari Menulis, or Let’s Write

We hope that writing becomes a cultural norm of young children and teenagers in society, which cultivates a spirit of inquiry. Writing stories and eventually following the news, instills good cultural values.

• Mari Membaca, or Let’s Read

This programme will also be based on the facilities of libraries. We have introduced Idola Kanak-Kanak, or Children’s Idol to start reading sessions, important to encourage our young to enthusiastic about reading. The average Malaysian should be given sufficient motivation to read and expand their knowledge in all facets of life.

5. Bicara Tokoh, Discourse Amongst Leaders

These experts and leaders’ discourse sessions are efforts to pay appropriate respects to our artists, writers and cultural leaders in society and introducing them to the rest of the Selangor community. These events will be held continuously once every two months.

MODERNISATION OF AGRICULTUREWe acknowledge that farmers, fishermen, and breeders are part of those contributing significantlyto the economy of Selangor. In return, we are committed toward providing them with what theyneed, to make a better living for themselves whilst contributing to our economy as a whole. The Selangor State Government is committed towards greater modernisation of agriculture throughincreasing use of high-end technology and research.



Increasing paddy yield (part of the Economics Stimulus Package)

The Selangor government initiated the project of enhancing paddy yield in the South-western region of the state. With a

combination of factors that requires technical precision, a unique formula is applied to all areas, resulting in incredible

increase of paddy yield. This allows farmers in the area to enhance their income levels significantly.

• A two-pronged objective to increase income of farmers and to move toward technology-based agriculture.• National average of paddy output is 4 tonnes per hectare, with Selangor having the highest of 5.1 tonnes per

hectare. We aim to increase this average even further. • 5 year plan to increase yield in Kuala Selangor and Sabak Bernam.• Expectations:

o Yield of 7.5 tan/ha from 4.5 tan/ha (increase of RM 110m/year) o Per-capita income of famers raised from RM 14,475 to RM 20,475 per season.

• What is being done:

o Implementation pioneer projects at Sabak Bernam and Kuala Selangor.o Provision of technical, motivational, and hands on training.o Improvement of water management system.o Introduction of new paddy plantation technologies and good practices.o Results:

• 19.4% increase in Pancang Bedena.• 23.9% increase in Pasir Panjang.• 7.3% increase in Sawah Sempadan.

o The 10 important factors that determine good paddy yield results are: • Paddy Variety• Valid seedlings • Appropriateness of soil• Preparation of the paddy field• Variety of the paddy • Field’s infrastructure• Water management• Planting plots• Monitoring of pesticides• Fertilisation• Harvesting

o The success of the programme depends on precise and accurate ‘rice checks’ that are carefully done. Issues such as non-level fields, careless seed growth and harvesting must be monitored.

• What will be done:

o Expansion of efforts to all paddy areas.o Increase land coverage of 16% (2009), 37% (2010), 62% (2011), 87% (2012), and 100% (2013). o Paddy Plantation Project in 2010

• A continuation of the paddy enhancement project as part of the Economic Stimulus Package, the project will involve 4,622 farmers in an area of 6,098.5 hectares (5,088 lots). This is expected to increase paddy yield from 5.5 tonnes per hectare to 5.9 tonnes per hectare, resulting in an increase of 36,000 tonnes per season. In its completion in 2013, the project is expected to successfully involve an area of 18,960 hectares in total.

3. Skills training from INPENS International College

Every year the Selangor State Government sponsors approximately 50 Indian students who have completed SPM. to study Level 1 & Level 2 of the Certificate Courses at INPENS International College. These Indian students are selected based on their interest to pursue skills training and are not academically inclined. The aim of this policy is to give these students a chance to break out of the poverty cycle. The State collaborates with the Education Welfare and Research Foundation (EWRF) to select these students.

In February 2010, a total of 67 students were registered for courses.

Revival of Abandoned Projects

With more than 140 abandoned projects in Selangor, this has become a major eyesore for Selangor residents. In the

past, numerous developers failed to bring their projects to completion. With the dedication of the Selangor government

today, we focus on several key projects and are confident we can revive these with the co-operation of all stakeholders.

• Project considered abandoned if failed to be completed according to schedule, that is, more than 2 years. • As of 31 December 2009:

o 135 cases involving 48,623 unitso At an estimated value of RM 5 billion. o 18 cases revived involving 15,128 units.

• Abandoned Projects Taskforce establishedo To identify consultants responsible to research and make suggestions.o To list possible “rescue contractors” that will revive the projects.

• 2010 target:o State to use methods of land acquisition and confiscation of lands to resolve large scale projects.

• Section 3(1)(a) of the Land Acquisition Act 1950 (Act 486):• Alam Perdana, Mukim Ijok, Kuala Selangor• Bukit Botak, Selayang, Gombak• Kampung Melayu Rasa, Ampang Pecah.

• Section 100 KTN on failure to land tax and Section 129 KTN on breach of condition of land. • Alam Perdana, Mukim Ijok, Kuala Selangor• Alam Mutiara, Mukim Ijok, Kuala Selangor• Bandar Baru Sg Buaya.

Building Management

The objective of setting up the Joint Management Body (JMB) and the Management Corporation (MC) is to manage the

transparency of accounts and expenditure on maintenance fees of strata properties. The Selangor government believes

in strong corporate governance and management.

• Joint Management Body (JMB) and Management Corporation (MC) established.o Parties involved: Contractors and owners.o Method: Owners pick management agents who are then responsible for the collection of service fees for each unit.o Number of JMBs: Of 3931 developments in Selangor, 1659 are known to have set up the mandatory JMB. o The remaining developments have yet to set up a JMB as the developers have yet to have a first meeting with the

owners.o Establishment of JMB monitored by the Commission of Buildings at each local council and enforced by the Taskforce

Act 663.


HOUSINGAs the State government, we yearn to see our citizens have a place they can call home. Housing – having a place to live comfortably in – is a basic and essential right that governments are responsible in fulfilling. Living conditions should also be clean, with access to amenities as water,electricity and good infrastructure. We have since taken the effort to ensure that abandoned projects are completed, housing developments are well-managed, and urban squatters no longer living in deplorable conditions.



Lift and Commmunity Centres

The Selangor government has also focused its efforts on repairing numerous dilapitated low-cost flats and other housing

development areas, specifically to do lift and paint repairs. This improves the living conditions of the residents.

• Objective: To improve living standards of residents in low-cost flats. • Repairing of lifts in 10 housing developments that have an established JMB.• 2010 targets:

o To start lift repair works by February.o To provide community centres for 5 developments

Water Migration

Part of the Selangor government’s social policies is to ensure free water for all Selangor residents for their first 20m3 of

usage. However, this free water scheme has not benefited those in the strata property. This programme of water

migration is to ensure all receive the benefits of the state government equally.

• The State government’s scheme to provide free water for the first 20 m3 of usage has not benefited those in strata property.

• Objective: To convert bulk meters to individual meters in strata properties. • Number of conversions to date: 213 applications out of 363 housing developments. • 2010 target: All strata developments have bulk meters converted to individual meters.

Management of Urban Squatters

Urban squatters is still a problem faced in Selangor today, but with better management, the Selangor government

hopes to improve the situation. This ensures better quality of life, better access to amenities and healthcare. All

Selangor residents should be made to feel they are home, and should be given roofs and a home to live in.

• Objective: To relocate urban squatters to low-cost apartments in low-rent areas.• Squatters will be offered the opportunity to purchase low-cost apartments.• Number of squatters as of 31 December 2009: 50,431.• Number of squatters relocated: 46,409 (92.1%).• 2010 target:

o At least quareter of the remaining squatters to be relocated by the end of the year. o To curb new squatter settlements.



NEW VILLAGESAfter more than 60 years, the land ownership issue affecting thousands of families in hundreds ofnew villages across Malaysia has not yet been resolved. Selangor has 42 new villages, categorisedas kampung baru (6), kampung bagan or fishing villages (19) and kampung tersusun or planned villages (17). New villages are remnants of the Emergency in 1948-1960, set up at the time to quellcommunist activities.

The land upon which many new villages sit has now become prime land for development. Many new villages still await landtitles, but the current Selangor government is committed to ensuring the issue is resolved quickly by providing land ownershiptitles. New villages’ infrastructure is also an area we are committed to improving constantly.

Key Achievements

ILLEGAL FACTORIES

When the Pakatan Rakyat government took over in 2008, there were about 2,000 illegal factories inthe state of Selangor. Their existence can be attributed to past corrupt practices. Illegal factoriespose problems because they do not contribute taxes and do not adhere to regulations such assafety, environment, health, and employment laws. However, the Selangor government’s policy isto work with them and encourage them to apply to be legalised, since doing illegal business is notin line with the state’s principles of transparency and public accountability. Legalising the factoriesalso ensures the companies follow state and federal laws.
