Question

Accepted Answer

The Selangor special state assembly sitting is not linked to any election preparations
Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said the Selangor special state assembly sitting beginning Friday is not linked to the dissolution of the state assembly or any state election preparations. He added that the three-day sitting on June 19, 22 and 23 will focus on the Selangor Resilience Strengthening Package Phase 2, which is aimed at reinforcing the state’s economic and social support measures.
The sitting dates and what it will cover
The special state assembly sitting will run for three days, on June 19, 22 and 23. Amirudin stated that the focus is on the Selangor Resilience Strengthening Package Phase 2 rather than any election-related agenda.
Amirudin Shari’s direct statement on election links
Amirudin said the sitting has nothing to do with the state election and that there is still “a long way to go”. He also rejected the idea that it is related to election preparations, stating directly that it is “not related”.
What Phase 2 is intended to do
Phase 2 is described as a programme to reinforce Selangor’s economic and social support measures. This sits within the wider resilience package framework that the state is rolling out in phases.
How Phase 1 was framed and rolled out
Amirudin said Phase 1 began implementation this month and was developed through engagement sessions with experts in economics, industry, energy and geopolitics to assess the impact of global economic uncertainty. He said Phase 1 is primarily aimed at easing cost-of-living pressures while strengthening food security, and he referenced the announcement in April that set out the implementation mechanism and disbursement schedule for initiatives under the package.
