  "account": "Selangor anticipates surpassing RM100 billion in investment value by 2026, according to Chief Minister Amirudin Shari. Currently, the state has recorded approximately RM70 billion in investments by mid-year, with a promising trend. Initially targeting RM80 billion, similar to 2025's performance, the state surpassed the goal and reached RM70 billion by mid-2026. Amirudin expects the state's investment performance to continue improving, potentially reaching over RM100 billion if the current trend persists. This growth is attributed to Selangor's strategic focus on international investment missions, such as those in France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, and South Korea. The development of new industrial areas, including the NCT Smart Industrial Park (NSIP) and a third port on Carey Island, is expected to further boost investment activities in the region. Additionally, the East Coast Rail Link's successful operation is anticipated to enhance investment opportunities in northern areas of Selangor. Regarding the NSIP, over 200 factories are projected to commence operations with most being local enterprises. This state-led initiative is part of the First Selangor Plan (RS-1), a project not only on paper but actively being delivered with pride from both government and private sectors. The NSIP spans approximately 368.26 hectares of prime land, with a total gross development value of RM10.2 billion.",
