KUALA LUMPUR — The Selangor state government will place vulnerable and marginalised groups at the centre of its 2027 budget planning, marking a continued commitment to social welfare initiatives.
The state's fiscal direction reflects growing recognition of the economic pressures facing lower-income households and those requiring additional government support across the region.
Details of specific programmes and allocations are expected to be unveiled as the state government finalises its budget framework. The announcement comes amid broader efforts across Malaysia to address cost-of-living concerns and improve targeted assistance to citizens in need.
Selangor, as the nation's most economically developed state, has positioned itself as a model for integrated social spending that balances development with welfare provisions.
