SHAH ALAM — The Selangor government today tabled its 2027 Budget of RM3.3 billion, highlighting improvements for the state’s citizens in public transportation and resolution for repeated flash flood woes.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said of the total allocation, RM1.9 billion, or 57.6 per cent, has been allocated for operating expenditure, while RM1.4 billion (42.4 per cent) was allocated for development purposes.
Among the highlights he tabled today:
-RM24 million for public transport, with the aim of reaching 60 per cent usage next year.
Of the total allocation, RM12 million would go to improving the efficiency and optimisation of routes of the Smart Selangor Bus service, which would be rebranded as Bas Kita Selangor.
Amirudin said the state government would also introduce the SEL 30 Programme in 2027, with an allocation of RM5 million to provide a RM30 monthly public transport subsidy, expected to benefit 13,000 users. This would reduce travel costs for Selangor residents while encouraging more people to use bus and rail services.
To improve access to public transport, Amirudin said the state government, through local authorities, would build 35 kilometres of new pedestrian walkways across Selangor to facilitate access to key destinations, including public transport stations.
The Selangor Mobility Nexus, an integrated mobility data and information centre, will also be launched to make public transport information more accessible through a single system, thus reducing duplication among existing apps. A company, Rantaian Mesra Sdn Bhd, will support the development of the Selangor Mobility Nexus at a cost of RM1.5 million.
-RM36.45 million for 47 immediate flood mitigation projects under the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (JPS).
The projects span the Sungai Klang, Sungai Langat, Sungai Buloh, Sungai Selangor, Sungai Bernam and Sungai Kapar Besar river basins.
Amirudin said of the 47 projects, 30 are the continuation of existing projects. For the 17 new projects, one is at the design stage, 11 are in the process of appointing consultants and five are still at the planning stage.
RM19.38 million has also been allocated for 25 irrigation system projects, RM17.90 million for 16 river basin development and management projects, and RM6.63 million for nine environmentally friendly irrigation projects.
Other flood mitigation works under the total allocation include increasing river capacity and improve water flow at the Selangor Maritime Gateway Economic Development Zone.
The state government will also provide a public dashboard displaying project locations, implementing agencies and updates on implementation phases, from the appointment of design consultants and contractors to the progress of on-site works.
“With this information, residents can know the level of protection in their areas ahead of the rainy season and refer directly to the agencies responsible,” he said.
-RM559 million to replace aging water pipes.
Amirudin said more than 6,000 km of old water pipes needed replacing to ensure more stable water supply for consumers.
“The pipe replacement programme was first implemented in 2016, with an annual target of replacing 150 km of pipes. However, starting from 2024, the state government and Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) have increased the replacement rate to 300 km annually,” he said
The state government has also allocated RM120.8 million for the Non-Revenue Water (NRW) Reduction Programme to reduce the amount of treated water lost in the system before reaching consumers’ taps.
“The NRW rate is targeted to be reduced to 26.3 per cent this year and 25.8 per cent in 2027, compared with 26.8 per cent in 2025.
Meanwhile, RM101 million has been allocated to ensure clean water supply by protecting water treatment plant operations from disruptions caused by pollution.
RM3.5 million had been allocated for a study on the Selangor Water Master Plan 2025-2050 as part of long-term planning. The master plan will coordinate the management of raw water, treated water and wastewater with flood management and is expected to be completed in 2028.
Amirudin, who is also the Sungai Tua assemblyman, said the state government has projected revenue collection of RM2.85 billion for next year. This includes land premiums amounting to over RM1.1 billion, representing 39 per cent of the estimated total revenue.
Land tax was projected to contribute RM653.82 million, equivalent to 23 per cent of total revenue, while Federal Government grants were expected to amount to RM292.70 million, or 10 per cent.
On the state’s financial position, Amirudin said the Selangor State Government Consolidated Fund reserves stood at RM4.736 billion as at Dec 31, 2025, comprising the Consolidated Revenue Account and the Consolidated Trust Account.
He said the state’s revenue collection for 2026 had exceeded its target, recording RM2.957 billion as at Nov 11. Of this amount, tax revenue contributed RM767.30 million, while non-tax revenue amounted to RM1.912 billion and non-revenue receipts totalled RM277.34 million. – November 13, 2026
