Selangor plans amendment to natural disaster trust fund enactment for enhanced disaster mitigation


SHAH ALAM: The Selangor government plans to amend the enactment governing the Natural Disaster Trust Fund (Taba) to allow for easier utilisation of the fund in state disaster management efforts, particularly those involving slope-related infrastructure.

Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said Taba currently holds RM90 million but has never been utilised since its establishment in 2011, as any disbursement must first be tabled and approved at the State Legislative Assembly, making immediate response measures difficult to execute.
