Selangor Launches First Phase Of Silp Worth RM500 Mln
SEKINCHAN, June 28 (Bernama) -- The first phase of the Selangor Integrated Landing Port (SILP) project, aimed at strengthening the state's fisheries sector, was launched today with an investment of RM500 million. Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said the project, expected to begin by the end of 2026, will also complement the state's food security initiatives, such as the Selangor Food Warehouse. 'The first phase will involve the construction of a centralised jetty, about 30 to 40 fishing boat parking bays and serviced apartments. 'Subsequent phases will include facilities for boat repairs, maintenance and construction, followed by the development of tourism zones,' he told reporters after the launch of the SILP project here today. Amirudin said the project is expected to boost the state's agricultural output by five per cent, positioning Selangor's west coast as a long-term economic growth hub. He said that SILP is also intended to serve as a model for effective fisheries ecosystem management for other states, similar to the padi cultivation system practised in Sekinchan. 'At present, agriculture, including fisheries, contributes only one per cent to Selangor's economy. 'Together with the approved prawn farming ponds in Sabak Bernam and Kuala Selangor and the agricultural development areas being planned by the Selangor Agricultural Development Corporation, we project a five per cent increase in the upcoming Selangor Plan, either the second or third plan,' he said. The first phase of the SILP project, spanning 33.9 hectares and expected to be developed over a five-year period, will include a fish auction hall, a commercial fish market, a tide-adaptive dock, a logistics hub for seafood distribution and maritime services, as well as shoreline upgrades.

Selangor to distribute livestock worth RM6 mil for Aidiladha under state contribution programme
SHAH ALAM: The Selangor state government has allocated RM6 million to provide 700 cows and 1,000 goats for sacrificial rites (ibadah korban) to mosques and suraus throughout the state in conjunction with the upcoming Aidiladha celebration next month. Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said the livestock will be distributed to eligible recipients, including senior state government officials, mosques, and local community groups. "The Selangor State Sacrificial Contribution Programme (PSKNS) is a state government initiative managed by the Selangor Agricultural Development Corporation (PKPS), now in its seventh consecutive year. "It is funded through the Selangor State-Owned Companies, Statutory Bodies and Government Agencies Contribution Trust Fund (TASASBA)," he said. "PKPS, as the implementing agency, will oversee all procurement, administrative, and financial aspects of the programme under the close supervision of the PSKNS Steering Committee, chaired by Selangor Infrastructure and Agriculture Exco, Datuk Izham Hashim," he added. Amiruddin's remarks were delivered by the Selangor State Secretary, Datuk Dr Ahmad Fadzli Ahmad Tajuddin, during the Launch and Voucher Handover Ceremony of the PSKNS held at Dewan Raja Muda Musa, yesterday. Meanwhile, the PSKNS organising body was told to ensure that the cows and goats donated meet the proper religious criteria for a valid sacrificial offering. Amiruddin stated that each animal donated must comply with the conditions stipulated under Islamic law, including being free from defects, healthy, and having reached the appropriate age of maturity. "We want to avoid last-minute issues, such as the animals failing to meet the necessary requirements, which would force the organisers to return the livestock to the supplier. "I urge all parties, especially mosque and surau committees, to carry out early inspections to ensure that all aspects of the sacrificial process proceed smoothly," he added. –Bernama
