Selangor unveils framework for reforming governance
Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said RSTU serves as a crucial enabler for implementing state government policies. 'Our framework aligns with the Federal Government's Public Service Reform Agenda (ARPA) to create a more efficient, transparent, and impactful delivery system,' he said.
Amirudin emphasised that the RSTU signifies the state administration's dedication to progress and innovation. 'Selangor cannot be satisfied with merely being a developed state in terms of numbers. We need to advance our systems, work culture, and integrity. RSTU is our shared platform to make our government machinery more prepared, agile, and trustworthy,' he said at the state-level Fly the Jalur Gemilang campaign launch held at Dewan Jubli Auditorium in the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah building, Shah Alam.
The implementation of RSTU will concentrate on eight strategic focus areas. These include:
Communication Strategy: Enhancing quality delivery and establishing one-stop government service centres to streamline business operations.
Governance and Integrity: Strengthening corruption risk management.
Strategic Coordination: Encouraging proactive collaboration between departments and agencies to overcome siloed work structures.
Complaint Management Reform: Creating a responsive system that provides public feedback within 24 hours.
Critical Thinking Empowerment: Enhancing the capacity of the public service team and reducing dependency on external consultants.
Local Administrative Leadership: Empowering leaders from village chiefs to council members to act as responsible service delivery agents.
Programme Effectiveness Monitoring: Developing the Selangor Government Delivery Index for assessing state programme effectiveness.
Output-Based Implementation: Focusing on outcome-driven methods for all state policies and programmes.
At the event, coinciding with the monthly civil servants' meeting, Amirudin launched the Fly the Jalur Gemilang campaign.
He said the campaign aligns with the Merdeka and Malaysia Day celebrations, promoting patriotism and unity among Malaysians during the national month leading up to Malaysia Day.

Anwar questions double standards over water tariff hikes
KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has questioned the double standards of critics who remain silent when Opposition-led states raise water tariffs, but attack the Federal Government over similar policies. He said the Federal Government had no objection to the increases, as there were valid reasons behind them. 'The state governments wrote to the minister to seek approval to raise water tariffs. We didn't block them or instruct them — we had no objection. 'It's a state matter. Water is under state jurisdiction. All four states — Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu — raised tariffs, and others did too. But because these are Opposition-led states, no one makes a fuss. 'If it had been the Federal Government raising tariffs, we would be harshly criticised. But as the one responsible, I had no issue because there was a genuine need,' he said in the Dewan Rakyat, responding to Kuala Kangsar MP Datuk Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid's question on Tuesday (Aug 5). Anwar also pointed out similar criticism over the government's targeted subsidy reforms for fuel and electricity. 'It's the same with the RON95 subsidy targeting. Why the double standards? We've reduced subsidies for foreigners and the wealthy, while easing the burden on ordinary Malaysians and lower-income groups," he added. He mentioned the increase in electricity tariffs, which will only affect industrial sectors. "The public has received their July bills, and Opposition MPs claim the rates have risen. While tariffs increased, the actual payments were lower. "If anyone is paying more, I'm puzzled because the average reduction is between 8% and 14%. Electricity prices have decreased, as have fuel prices; that's the situation," he added.

Carey Island port development discussed at Selangor JBI meeting
SHAH ALAM: The development of a third port on Carey Island was among the key topics discussed during the Selangor Joint Committee for Industrial Coordination (JBI) meeting today. Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari stated that the proposal is still in early stages and requires further evaluation by the Economy and Finance Ministries. Amirudin said, '(The development of Carey Island) is part of the discussion scope (in the JBI meeting). A proposal was brought up, but we are just beginning and it's still too early. If it proceeds well, (the project) could serve as a significant leap and may be included in the review of the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) or the Second Selangor Plan (RS-2), which is expected to be tabled in June 2026.' The meeting, co-chaired by Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Aziz, also focused on investment commitments and development agendas. Three Selangor government proposals were tabled: industrial park development, waste-to-energy projects, and an aerospace hub. MITI presented papers on rare earth elements (REE) downstream and midstream development, as well as robotic mechanisation in cleaning operations. Discussions also covered efficient governance aligned with the Speed Selangor policy. Amirudin addressed Selangor's trade imbalance, noting high imports due to food and logistics reliance on Port Klang and KLIA's cargo terminal. He said, 'We import more than we export, but we aim to resolve this by boosting domestic production moving forward.' - Bernama

S'gor MB: Pulau Carey port development in preliminary stages
SHAH ALAM: Plans for a third port in Pulau Carey, Kuala Langat, are still in the preliminary stages, according to Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari. The topic was among matters discussed during a joint committee meeting on industry coordination between the Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry (MITI) and the Selangor government on Monday (Aug 4). Amirudin noted that discussions about the port's development are in their infancy and require further analysis. "We need to forward this to the Finance Ministry and the Economy Ministry for additional input and study," he explained. "If the project progresses well, it could be incorporated into the 13th Malaysia Plan 2026 to 2030 or the Second Selangor Plan (RS-2), which is set to be tabled in June 2026," he added, following a three-hour meeting at Dewan Jubli Perak in Bangunan Sultan Abdul Aziz, Shah Alam. The concept of a third port for Port Klang was initially suggested in 2010 as part of the Port Klang Master Plan, envisioning a mega port on Carey Island, Selangor. The proposed facility is expected to handle an annual container throughput of 30 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) and aims for completion by 2060. Amirudin co-chaired the Joint Committee Meeting with Investment, Trade, and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Zafrul Abdul Aziz. The meeting also covered topics such as the development of waste-to-energy projects, industrial advancements, and an aero park in Selangor. Additionally, MITI papers addressed the development of downstream and midstream rare earth elements (REE).
