Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari has expressed his readiness to defend the Gombak parliamentary seat in the next election, provided he receives the mandate from the party leadership.
He made this declaration during his speech at the 2026 Gombak PKR Branch Annual General Meeting.
Amirudin stressed that his firm stance stems from a commitment to continue the mandate entrusted to him by the electorate.
He reminded party members and leaders that their current success is the result of a long struggle dating back to 1998, emphasizing that positions of power must be translated into public confidence through consistent service rather than personal interest.
Resolving long-standing housing and infrastructure issues
Under the Madani agenda, the menteri besar stated that the government’s primary focus remains on resolving persistent local grievances.
He highlighted positive developments regarding housing and settlement issues in areas such as Kampung Fajar, Kampung Barisan, and Kampung Perpaduan.
Furthermore, Amirudin gave his assurance that abandoned projects, including the Dunia Hijau project in Gombak Setia which has been stalled for over a decade, will be fully resolved within this year.
He noted that the state government is also actively upgrading infrastructure in older settlements and finding solutions for flat construction in Keramat, including rerouting roads to improve resident comfort.
Defending federal policies and sovereignty
Addressing political criticism from opponents, Amirudin hit back at those he accused of distorting national issues for personal gain at the expense of national sovereignty. He specifically touched upon the targeted diesel subsidy, clarifying the regional consumption differences.
He explained that while diesel consumption in Sabah and Sarawak is significantly higher than in Selangor, residents in the state continue to benefit from petrol prices that remain among the most affordable in Southeast Asia.
He urged the party machinery to work as a unified team and set aside internal differences to protect the welfare of the people.
Amirudin concluded by stating that the administration led by party president and Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, alongside the state government, is a responsible one that prioritizes action over empty election promises.
