  "account": "Selangor has expanded its RM30 monthly public transport subsidy to include KTM Komuter services, starting immediately. This expansion, unveiled by State Investment, Trade and Mobility Committee chairman Ng Sze Han, is part of the Selangor Resilience Package, a government initiative aimed at reducing living costs for residents. The subsidy, previously limited to Rapid KL On-Demand and Kumpool services, now benefits more than 90 percent of recipients, with the majority being aged 26 to 35. By adding KTM Komuter, the government hopes to encourage wider use of public transport in Selangor. The initiative, managed by RMSB in partnership with transport providers and a digital payment platform, will operate until December 2026, with 50,000 subsidy quotas available. Eligible applicants, who must be registered voters in Selangor, can apply via the Nine application and receive the RM30 monthly subsidy directly in their Nine e-wallet, which can be used to purchase tickets or travel passes through KTMB Mobile or KITS Style applications.",
