Malay reserve land in Selangor increased to 403,391 acres, says MB
Amirudin Shari says in 2018, Malay reserve land stood at 400,711 acres.
Shah Alam: The Selangor Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, announced today that the 55.401-acre Malay reserve land in Tanjong Karang, Sabak Bernam, set aside for the Sabak Bernam Development Area (SABDA) will be replaced with an equal-sized tract in Hulu Selangor. This decision aims to balance development requirements with the conservation of Malay reserve land.
The 55.401-acre plot in Tanjong Karang was officially gazetted for SABDA on September 3. SABDA is a Selangor state government project aimed at enhancing food security, promoting agro-tourism, and generating more employment opportunities for locals in the northern part of the state. The initiative is spearheaded by the state government-owned Menteri Besar Selangor Incorporated (MBI), involving local communities including fishermen, entrepreneurs, and academics.
Amirudin also noted that the total Malay reserve land area in Selangor has grown by 2,680 acres since 2018 under the current administration. The Malay reserve land has expanded from 400,711 acres to 403,391 acres.
