SHAH ALAM, 13 November 2026 — Selangor has set aside RM3.3 billion for 2027, with money earmarked to keep flood-mitigation works moving and a special year-end payment for state civil servants, Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said when he tabled the state budget on Friday.
Of the total, RM1.9 billion, or 57.6 per cent, is for operating expenditure and RM1.4 billion, or 42.4 per cent, is for development, Bernama reported from the Selangor State Legislative Assembly.
“To address various current challenges more effectively and swiftly, this administration proposes the Selangor 2027 Budget with an allocation of RM3.3 billion,” Amirudin said, according to Bernama.
For residents who have lived through repeated flooding, one of the clearer near-term items is a RM36.45 million allocation for 47 flood-mitigation projects under the irrigation and drainage department next year, he said. Of that, RM9.15 million is for the Sungai Klang basin and RM7.35 million for the Sungai Langat basin, with further works covering the Sungai Buloh, Sungai Selangor, Sungai Bernam and Sungai Kapar Besar basins, as well as design, surveying and land matters.
Amirudin also said the disaster warning system linking state and district operation centres with agencies on the ground would be improved, Free Malaysia Today reported.
State civil servants are to receive special financial assistance equivalent to two months’ salary as a token of appreciation, he said. The payments, to be drawn from this year’s allocations and disbursed by 21 December 2026, have a total financial implication of RM100.31 million, according to Free Malaysia Today.
The state government has projected revenue of RM2.85 billion for 2027. Land premiums are expected to contribute more than RM1.1 billion, or 39 per cent of the total, land tax RM653.82 million, or 23 per cent, and Federal Government grants RM292.70 million, or 10 per cent, Amirudin said.
He told the assembly that the Selangor State Government Consolidated Fund reserves stood at RM4.736 billion as at 31 December 2025, and had risen by RM384.84 million to RM5.121 billion as at 11 November 2026. That comprised RM1.713 billion in the Consolidated Revenue Account and RM3.408 billion in the Consolidated Trust Account.
“By consistently adopting a prudent spending approach, the state government’s financial performance recorded a surplus of RM422.40 million as at 11 November 2026,” he said, according to Bernama.
Revenue collection for 2026 has already exceeded its target, reaching RM2.957 billion as at 11 November, including RM767.30 million in tax revenue, RM1.912 billion in non-tax revenue and RM277.34 million in non-revenue receipts, he added.
Media Selangor, the state media outlet, reported that the 2027 budget is organised around five pillars, including climate change and infrastructure, people’s well-being, artificial intelligence and the state’s economy, lifelong education, and better public services.
