SHAH ALAM, Aug 7 (Bernama) -- All local authorities (PBTs) in Selangor must achieve and maintain a 95 per cent score under the PBT Star Rating System (SPB-PBT) by 2030 to ensure the best possible delivery of services to the people, said Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.
He said the target reflected the state government’s commitment under the Second Selangor Plan (RS-2) to ensure that high standards of public service delivery were not limited to certain areas, but enjoyed equally by all Selangor citizens.
“We will also continue to drive digitalisation initiatives by targeting 85 per cent End-to-End Digital Government Service Sharing to ensure more efficient and responsive digital data sharing and public services, guided by good governance principles.
“PBTs must work harder to improve their services and efficiency, with the delivery of quality services to the people being the top priority of every PBT.
“ All forms of complaints and information received, whether through social media or directly, must be given due attention and addressed accordingly,” he said when tabling RS-2 at the Selangor State Legislative Assembly sitting here today.
Amirudin said the strategic alignment between government-linked companies (GLCs) and state programmes would also be strengthened to maximise the impact of public investments.
He said the state’s current reliance on land premiums and land rents, which accounted for about 75 per cent of its revenue, represented a structural risk that must be addressed.
“Through RS-2, we will diversify state revenue sources through innovative financing mechanisms, enhance the participation of GLCs and the private sector, and optimise the governance of state entities.
“The establishment of a fully integrated State Investment Holding company will enhance coherence, cost efficiency and returns for the state government,” he said.
Amirudin said the alignment of GLCs would also prevent duplication of functions and roles among subsidiary companies, while enabling them to pursue new targets and goals in line with the state’s focus on technology- and service-based economic sectors.
