The Selangor government has rolled out a series of relief measures under the RM209.26 million Selangor Resilience Strengthening Package Phase 2, including a 30% reduction in rental rates for traders operating at local council-owned premises.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said the initiative, backed by a RM4.5 million allocation, will benefit 21,234 traders across the state.
He said the rental reduction, which will be implemented automatically without requiring applications, will be available for six months from July to December.
“Traders renting shops and stalls at local authority premises are frontliners of the people’s daily economy. This measure is aimed at helping them continue operating without passing higher costs on to consumers,” he said.
In addition, the state government will maintain rental rates under the Smart Sewa Selangor scheme, where monthly rents currently range between RM450 and RM1,300.
To ease financial pressures on tenants, Amirudin announced a three-month rental moratorium from October to December for all 1,012 Smart Sewa tenants. The initiative, which will be managed by the Selangor Housing and Property Board (LPHS), involves an allocation of RM2.22 million and will be subject to applications.
The state government is also extending support to civil servants through a RM2.54 million housing loan repayment moratorium.
The three-month moratorium, running from October to December, is expected to benefit 2,333 state civil servants repaying housing loans under the State Government Housing Loan Scheme.
The package forms part of Selangor’s broader efforts to cushion the impact of rising living costs and strengthen economic resilience among businesses, households and public sector workers
