The six strategic missions under the Second Selangor Plan, also known as the Rancangan Selangor Kedua (RS-2), are the state government’s commitment to elevate Selangor as a national and regional economic powerhouse of South-East Asia.
Unveiled by Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari (pic) on Aug 7, this ambitious five-year economic blueprint spans from 2026 to 2030.
The RS-2 is a strategic compass for the state’s mid-term development to generate RM600bil in economic value by 2030.
It succeeds the First Selangor Plan (RS-1), shifting the state’s focus from post-Covid-19 recovery to rewriting its future economy.
At its core, the goal is to reach RM600bil in economic value through six core missions with 25 focus areas, 98 initiatives and five focus industries aligned with the policy framework.
The six missions are as follows:
> Driving Selangor’s Economic Leadership: This mission focuses on Selangor’s position as Malaysia’s primary economic engine, targeting an average gross domestic product growth rate of 6.1% annually.
> Balanced Development and Equitable Opportunities: Geographical economic disparities will be eliminated by spreading development across all districts, ensuring rural and semi-urban areas share the wealth generated in metropolitan hubs.
> Building a Caring and Liveable State: This prioritises social welfare, affordable housing, healthcare accessibility and improving the overall quality of life for Selangorians.
> Developing a Productive and Inclusive Workforce: This initiative focuses on human capital by enhancing talent development, education and upskilling programmes to build a highly skilled workforce.
> Advancing a Sustainable, Resilient and Strategic State: This centres on climate resilience, environmental conservation and water security, considering future environmental challenges.
> Establishing an Effective, People and Business-Friendly Government: This initiative aims to transform public service, improving governance and simplifying bureaucracy to encourage a thriving business environment.
To realise these goals, Selangor has identified five high-growth focus sectors to anchor its industrial development toward 2030 – namely electrical and electronics with a heavy emphasis on semiconductors, aerospace, automotive (including smart manufacturing), digital economy, and creative economy.
High-impact regional projects introduced under RS-1, such as the Sabak Bernam Development Area (Sabda) and the Integrated Development Region in South Selangor (Idriss), will be further expanded under this new framework.
Furthermore, infrastructure improvements under RS-2 place a significant emphasis on expanding public transport connectivity, particularly through the development of the Selangor rail network to link the northern and southern districts.
What sets the Selangor Plan apart from broader national blueprints like the Rancangan Malaysia is its targeted approach, specifically coordinating development across state-owned enterprises, local authorities and district offices.
Through strong public-private partnerships, RS-2 ensures sustainable financing and robust governance.
RS-2 is not just a plan to grow numbers but a comprehensive master blueprint designed to translate Selangor’s immense economic power into meaningful, sustainable improvements in daily life for every resident.
