The Selangor state government has officially tabled the 2nd Selangor Plan, setting a bold economic roadmap aimed at raising the median monthly household income for residents across the state—including communities in Puchong—to RM14,500. Tabled by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari at the Selangor State Assembly, the comprehensive five-year framework also targets driving the unemployment rate down to 2.2% as the state builds on the successes of its previous development goals.
Key highlights and community-focused measures outlined in the latest development plan include:
-
Affordable Housing Initiatives: Plans to develop 200,000 affordable homes, featuring innovative rent-to-own mechanics where 30% of monthly rents collected by the Selangor Housing and Property Board (LPHS) are returned to tenants as a homeownership down payment.
-
Enhanced Public Transport & Mobility: Upgrades via Selangor Mobility, including realigned demand-responsive transit (DRT) services to better connect commercial hubs to LRT and MRT stations, alongside new covered walkways and designated bus stops for Rumah Selangorku developments.
-
SME & Digital Support: Targeted assistance aimed at helping 150,000 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through business mentoring, digital skills training, and financial management strategies.
-
Expanded Education Aid: Broadening the state tuition programme footprint to benefit 200,000 students by the year 2030.
For residents living in high-density growth zones like Puchong, these state-level policies directly target local pain points—ranging from public transit connectivity to long-term cost-of-living adjustments and housing accessibility.
