Shah Alam, 20 Nov (Bernama) – Kerajaan Selangor bakal memperkenalkan syarat kepada pemaju untuk membina kawasan tadahan air ribut (OSD-On Site Detention) di setiap bangunan baharu mulai tahun depan. Exco Infrastruktur dan Pertanian Selangor Izham Hashim berkata syarat baharu itu akan memastikan setiap bangunan berstrata di Selangor memiliki OSD sendiri, yang sekali gus dapat mengawal banjir.

Beliau berkata konsep baharu itu diperkenalkan supaya air dapat diuruskan di tempat asal lagi, sebagai contoh air yang banyak turun di bangunan 20 tingkat, seharusnya dikumpul terlebih dahulu di OSD sebelum perlahan-lahan dilepaskan ke sungai atau parit.

“Cara paling baik adalah kita tahan air, dan lepaskan bila sungai sungai dan parit sudah surut,” katanya ketika
menjawab pertanyaan Noor Najhan Mohamad Salleh (PN-Sementa) berhubung ‘Amalan Terbaik’ ntuk mengatasi masalah banjir di Selangor.

Beliau berkata inisiatif itu akan dibuat secara formal dan teratur serta dijalankan serentak di semua kawasan pihak berkuasa tempatan.

‘Kita mahu tengok dari segi teknikal dan perundangan terlebih dahulu. Semua bangunan jenis strata, jika tiada kawasan lapang, boleh sediakan tangki besar,” katanya.

Sementara itu Izham berkata Selangor bakal membina empangan bersambung (barrage) di Sungai Kapar Kecil, dekat sini bagi mengawal air banjir.

Ketika ditemui di luar persidangan beliau menjelaskan pembinaan empangan yang melibatkan kos RM220 juta oleh
Kerajaan Persekutuan itu akan bermula tahun hadapan dan dijangka mengambil masa selama dua hingga tahun
untuk disiapkan,

‘Barrage ini memiliki pintu air yang bersambung, ia dibuat kerana kawasan muka air terlalu lebar, jadi kita buat banyak pintu air. Peruntukan telah pun lulus dan kita akan bina di Kapar terlebih dahulu,” katanya.

Shah Alam, 15 Nov: Kerajaan Negeri meneliti kaedah sesuai memastikan bayi yang tinggal di Selangor layak menerima inisiatif Iltizam Anak Selangor (ANAS) bernilai RM500 meskipun lahir di negeri lain.

Dato’ Menteri Besar berkata perkara itu tertumpu kepada keluarga di Sabak Bernam dan Sepang berikutan ada antara mereka terpaksa ke hospital negeri jiran berhampiran untuk proses kelahiran.

“Di dua lokaliti ini, ada ibu yang alami komplikasi bersalin dan terpaksa menyeberang ke Teluk Intan (Perak) dan Port Dickon (Negeri Sembilan).

“Jadi selain bina hospital baharu yang dikenal pasti di Tanjung Sepat (Sepang), Majlis Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri (MMKN) turut teliti bagaimana nak kenal pasti mereka layak walaupun secara teknikal mereka tidak layak kerana lahir di negeri lain,” kata Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari di sidang Dewan Negeri Selangor hari ini.

Menjawab soalan wakil rakyat Kuang Mohd Rafiq Mohd Abdullah, Amirudin berkata bantuan yang dirancang pentadbiran sememangnya tertumpu kepada anak-anak yang lahir di negeri ini namun tetap membantu keluarga yang bermaustautin lama.

“Contohnya Bantuan Kehidupan Sejahtera Selangor (BINGKAS) atau Iltizam Sihat Selangor (ISS) kerana kita sedari beberapa faktor yang bantuan juga perlu diberikan kepada orang dewasa,” katanya.

Menerusi belanjawan tahun ini, Kerajaan Negeri memperuntuk RM3 juta bagi menjayakan ANAS iaitu manfaat tabungan RM100 setahun sehingga penerima berumur lima tahun.

Inisiatif menyasarkan 30,000 bayi memasukkan terus nilai sumbangan ke dalam akaun Skim Simpanan Pendidikan Nasional (SSPN) Prime bagi membantu persediaan pendidikan.

Shah Alam, Nov 15 — The Selangor government will continue to draft and gazette enactments or by-laws for solid waste management and public cleansing to address illegal dumping in the state.

State Local Government and Tourism Committee chairman Ng Suee Lim said so far 57 active illegal waste dumping sites have been identified, with the Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ) area recording the highest number at 18 sites followed by the Hulu Selangor Municipal Council (MPHS) with 13 sites.

Ng said the existing act, which is the Local Government Act 1976, is not sufficient to control the operation of landfills which allows local authorities (PBT) to make by-laws.

“Enforcement for Selangor is currently limited under the authority of the Collection, Discard and Disposal By-law 2007. The fine for dumping garbage is a maximum of RM2,000 only. It also limits the actions that can be taken against operators of illegal waste sites.

“The state government is aware and has tried to improve the law related to garbage disposal activities by enacting the Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management Enactment in 2020. However, it did not receive a response from the Federal Government in 2019 and 2020,” he said at the State Legislative Assembly sitting, here today.

He said this in response to a question from Cheong Kian Young (PH-Kajang) regarding the effectiveness of the existing act and the list of active illegal waste dumping sites in Selangor.

Ng, who is also the Sekinchan assemblyman, added that the proposed drafting of the Collection, Disposal and Discard By-law 2007 to the Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing By-law will be tabled at the state executive council (MMKN) in December 2022.

“Most recently, MMKN last June considered and rejected the proposal to apply the Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Act 2007 for Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing in Selangor.

“MMKN agrees that the drafting and gazetting of enactments or by-laws continue under the provisions of the laws in force. Therefore, this proposed draft formulation is being reviewed and discussed again with all Selangor PBTs (local authorities) before being taken up for consideration by the state authorities,” he said. — Bernama

Exco Perumahan dan Kebudayaan, Borhan Aman Shah berkata, langkah awal seperti tindakan senarai hitam nama-nama ahli lembaga pengarah syarikat pemaju diambil untuk memastikan mereka bertanggungjawab melaksanakan projek mengikut masa ditetapkan.

“Kerajaan negeri mengambil tindakan ke tas pemaju bermasalah dan mengedarkan nama-nama yang disenaraihitamkan kepada semua pihak berkuasa tempatan (PBT) melalui sistem pendaftaran pemaju (SPEM) di Lembaga Perumahan dan Hartanah Selangor (LPHS).

“Sekiranya dikenalpasti nama-nama pemaju terlibat disenaraihitamkan, maka pemaju tersebut tidak akan dibenarkan untuk melaksanakan sebarang pembangunan di negeri ini termasuk membuat permohonan untuk pembangunan tanah walaupun cuma berperanan sebagai salah seorang pemilik saham di bawah nama syarikat pemaju lain,” katanya dalam Sidang Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) hari ini.

Beliau berkata demikian menjawab pertanyaan daripada Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Dengkil, Datuk Seri Jamil Salleh (PN) dalam Mesyuarat Kedua (Bajet) Penggal Pertama Dewan Negeri (DUN) Selangor Ke-15 2023.

Shah Alam, 14 Nov ― The Selangor state government expects the state’s revenue collection to increase by another RM100 million following the introduction of three new measures starting next year.

Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said this includes the sharing of dividends from state subsidiary companies which is expected to contribute around RM40 million.

A review of office fees under the Selangor Land Rules 2003 due to increased operating costs of the state land administration office in Selangor is expected to add RM50 million to its revenue collection.

At the same time, drainage contribution, which will be set at a rate higher than the current rate of RM10,000, is also expected to contribute around an additional RM10 million to the state’s coffers.

Amirudin said this in his reply to a supplementary question from Azmizam Zaman Huri (PH-Klang Port) regarding the estimated revenue increase based on the state’s new strategies.

He said that so far, land revenue sources such as land tax, premiums, land and mineral permits as well as land-related service fees account for as much as 80 per cent of the state’s overall revenue.

He said the state government is also studying other measures to boost the state’s revenue, including revising certain fee rates.

Meanwhile, in response to Opposition chief, Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali (PN-Hulu Kelang) who questioned the state government’s dependence on land revenue, Amirudin said that the state government is actively exploring green energy projects to add more value to the state’s revenue.

This includes the implementation of several projects by Worldwide Holdings Bhd (Worldwide), worth almost RM10 billion.

“Right now, the company has nine to 10 projects, including the construction of a power plant in Pulau Indah, Klang, in addition to exploring the solar power sector and also mini hydro and hydrogen production,” he said.

Amirudin added that the government has also engaged with stakeholders from Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates during their recent visits, and as a result of their meeting with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and the ministers, Selangor is poised to contribute a massive 1.0 to 1.5 gigawatts (GW) in renewable energy to power up the country’s electricity within the next couple of years.

This is part of the Malaysia-United Arab Emirates partnership, which aims to generate 10 GW of renewable energy capacity worth US$8 billion (RM37.76 billion) across the country by 2025. ― Bernama
