SHAH ALAM: The announcement of the construction of 38 new schools, including nine in Selangor, under Budget 2026 reflects the government’s commitment to ensuring equitable access to quality education in line with the state’s rapid population growth.
Residents in fast-growing areas such as Puncak Alam and Setia Alam described the move as a long-awaited relief, following years of coping with overcrowded classrooms that have, in some cases, forced parents to send their children to schools located far from their homes.
