COMMUNITY projects worth RM14mil will be rolled out in Selangor starting next month.
State Secretary Datuk Dr Ahmad Fadzli Ahmad Tajuddin said only four months remained to implement the “Projek KitaSelangor Penyayang” (KSP) 2026, compared to around 11 months previously.
He said the programme was delayed amid uncertainty over fuel prices and project costs arising from the Middle East conflict.
The shortened period meant constituency offices, district and land offices, local councils, the Selangor Housing and Property Board and technical agencies would have to step up their game.
“All agencies need to shift into fifth gear from the outset,” he said at a KSP engagement session in Shah Alam.
It was attended by assemblymen, district officers, mayors, local council presidents as well as officers from various agencies.
The RM14mil allocation covers all 56 state constituencies, with each able to propose one or more projects worth up to RM250,000 in total.
Ahmad Fadzli said a constituency could use the entire sum for one project, provided it met the approved scope and could be completed within the stipulated time period.
He said proposals must be technically feasible, provide value for money and deliver lasting benefits to residents.
He added that project proposals and completed bills of quantities must be submitted from Aug 3 to 17, with district-level committees finalising approvals from Aug 18 to Sept 1.
Funding and procurement will follow, while physical works are scheduled from Sept 28 to Nov 10.
Ahmad Fadzli said the state was developing an online platform that would allow the public to view the locations and progress of KSP projects, including photographs of completed works.
When met at the engagement session, Seri Kembangan assemblyman Wong Siew Ki said elected representatives had already planned their projects at the start of the year.
“Most of us have already submitted our project proposals, so we only need to complete the confirmation process before proceeding,” she elaborated.
Wong planned to divide her constituency’s allocation among smaller projects – about five – of between RM20,000 and RM50,000 each.
The proposals mainly involve upgrades to public parks, playgrounds and sports facilities.
Wong proposed that the state expand the programme’s scope to allow internal roads at low-cost flats to be resurfaced.
She said some roads were badly deteriorated, while joint management bodies (JMB) lacked sufficient funds for repairs because of poor maintenance fee collection.
