Tanah rizab Melayu Selangor meningkat 1084.55 hektar sejak 2018

Menteri Besar Selangor Amirudin Shari revealed that the total land area of Tanah Rizab Melayu in the state has increased by 1,084.55 hectares since 2018. This significant rise has raised the overall Tanah Rizab Melayu land area in the state from 162,161.98 hectares (400,711 acres) to 163,246.54 hectares (403,391 acres) under his administration's management. Amirudin made this announcement while discussing issues surrounding the status of Tanah Rizab Melayu in Sabak Bernam.

The increase in Tanah Rizab Melayu land area is attributed to two key developments. Firstly, 22.41 hectares (55.401 acres) of land in Hulu Selangor was recently registered as Tanah Rizab Melayu, replacing a previously registered 22.41 hectares (55.401 acres) of land in Tanjong Karang. This land swap was made to ensure a balance between local development and the interests of Tanah Rizab Melayu.

Secondly, the Sabda development project in Sabak Bernam contributed to the growth, as part of the Selangor government's initiative to create an eastern corridor for the state to boost food security and promote agro-tourism along the western coastal region. This project, managed by the state-linked company, will create job opportunities for local residents, including fishers, entrepreneurs, and academics.
