The Selangor Budget 2027, worth RM3.3 billion, was tabled in the state assembly on Friday (Nov 13), with RM1.9 billion, or 57.6%, for operating expenditure and RM1.4 billion, or 42.4%, for development.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said the state expects to collect RM2.85 billion in revenue next year. Land premiums are projected to make up more than RM1.1 billion, or 39%, land tax RM653.82 million, or 23%, and federal grants RM292.70 million, or 10%.
Amirudin announced the Kita Selangor special financial aid for the state’s civil servants, worth two months’ salary or allowance with a minimum of RM1,000. It covers state personnel, including those whose salaries are paid by the federal government, as well as teachers of KAFA religious classes. The payment, drawn from this year’s allocations, will be made by Dec 21 and will cost RM100.31 million.
He also said the monthly allowance for 7,245 KAFA teachers would rise by RM200 to RM1,700 from January.
For water supply, the budget sets aside RM559 million to replace old water pipes, RM120.8 million to reduce non-revenue water, RM209.2 million to link up the state’s water grid and RM479 million for the second phase of the Labohan Dagang water treatment plant. The Skim Air Darul Ehsan, which gives eligible households 20 cubic metres of free water a month, gets RM20 million.
On flood mitigation, Amirudin said RM36.45 million had been allocated for 47 immediate projects under the Drainage and Irrigation Department in 2027, including RM9.15 million for the Sungai Klang basin and RM7.35 million for the Sungai Langat basin. The disaster warning system linking the state and district operations centres with agencies on the ground will also be improved.
Other measures include RM300 a month for 30,000 families with at least two children under 18 under the BINGKAS programme, RM100 a month in vouchers for 5,000 e-hailing riders, free meals twice a week from April for 100,000 students under the NutriSel programme, and a RM30 monthly public transport subsidy for 13,000 users.
On the state’s finances, Amirudin said its reserves stood at RM5.121 billion as of Nov 11, up RM384.84 million from RM4.736 billion at the end of 2025, and that the state had recorded a surplus of RM422.40 million as of the same date.
Selangor is Malaysia’s most populous state, and the water and flood spending comes as parts of the state deal with repeated floods this month. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim told agencies in Selangor on Nov 12 to map high-risk areas and clear clogged drains, after the number of evacuees in Kuala Selangor passed 1,000 earlier in the week.
