Selangor: All local authorities (PBTs) in Selangor are required to reach and maintain a 95 per cent score under the PBT Star Rating System (SPB-PBT) by the year 2030, as announced by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari. This initiative is part of the Second Selangor Plan (RS-2) and aims to ensure optimal service delivery to the citizens of Selangor.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, Amirudin emphasized that this target is indicative of the state government's dedication to delivering high-quality public services across all regions of Selangor. The plan is to equalize the standard of public service delivery, ensuring that all citizens benefit from the improvements. A key component of this initiative is the push towards digitalization, with a goal of achieving 85 per cent End-to-End Digital Government Service Sharing, which will facilitate more efficient digital data sharing and public services.
Amirudin highlighted the necessity for PBTs to enhance their service delivery and efficiency, making quality service provision a top priority. He insisted that all complaints and information received, whether through social media or direct channels, should be promptly addressed. This was articulated during his presentation of RS-2 at the Selangor State Legislative Assembly.
Furthermore, Amirudin noted that the strategic alignment between government-linked companies (GLCs) and state programs would be reinforced to optimize the impact of public investments. He pointed out the current dependency on land premiums and land rents for revenue, which poses a structural risk to the state's economy. To mitigate this, RS-2 proposes diversifying revenue sources through innovative financing, enhancing GLC and private sector involvement, and optimizing the governance of state entities.
The establishment of a fully integrated State Investment Holding company is also on the agenda, aiming to improve coherence, cost efficiency, and returns for the state. Amirudin stressed that aligning GLCs would prevent the duplication of functions among subsidiary companies, allowing them to pursue new targets and align with the state's focus on technology and service-based economic sectors.
