Selangor sedia makanan percuma untuk calon SPM

Menteri Besar Selangor, Amirudin Shari, announced the provision of free food for approximately 70,000 candidates taking the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations throughout the state. This initiative, known as NutriSel SPM 2026, aims to ensure that all primary school students receive proper nutrition during the examination period.

The initiative is part of the broader NutriSel Program, which began in August, and is targeted towards the 104,640 students from low-income categories (B40), with a budget exceeding RM12.5 million. The budget includes RM7.82 million from local authorities and RM4.73 million from the State Economic Planning Unit. In addition to the free food initiative, the state government also distributes free bread and milk through the Mega Nutrisel program to 993,670 students in 962 schools across Selangor, in collaboration with strategic partners Farm Fresh and Gardenia.

The Mega Nutrisel program will continue until November 6 or 7, before the SPM examinations commence, and will be distributed to all students simultaneously. The budget for NutriSel goes beyond basic food assistance, as the aim is to celebrate all students, with Shah Alam alone accounting for nearly 125,000 students. Earlier, Amirudin and Fadzil were joined by Shahzihan Ahmad, the Chairperson of the Selangor Islamic Department, in distributing NutriSel Program kits to 1,321 students at Sekolah Rendah Agama Integrasi Seksyen 19, including 37 NutriSel recipient students.
