SUBANG JAYA, 23 SEPT: In the Selangor Budget 2014, the Government will increase the Children’s University Enrolment Gift limit of eligibility from a household income of RM1,500 to RM3,000 a month.

Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim said the state’s strong financial position enables pro-people empowerment programmes such as this.

“We are able to increase this incentive following the state’s reserves which has increased up to almost RM3 billion,” he said at the opening ceremony of the 2014 Budget Dialogue Ceremony at the Grand Dorsett Subang Jaya.

This scheme is part of Selangor’s People Based Economy (MES) agenda.

The prize worth RM1,000 is given to children of families in Selangor that earn RM1,500 and less, to assist their further education to government-accredited higher public/private institutions pursuing either a diploma or degree.

So far, RM35.7 million has been spent on approximately 35,722 participants who benefited from the programme.

“The response to this program is very impressive and it certainly benefits the people of Selangor,” he said.
