SELANGOR is now fully migrating its parking system and allowing the public to exchange any available paper-based coupon into Smart Selangor Parking (SSP) application credits.

Users who still have unutilised and unexpired coupons can transfer the coupons’ values into their SSP accounts starting March 26, 2022.

Exco for local government and public transport, Ng Sze Han (picture) said this decision is to address the public concern after the state’s announcement to abolish the paper-based coupon system to SSP instructing all municipalities to replace it into digital method starting April 1 this year.

“The Selangor government acknowledges people’s worries that their unused coupons would be deemed invalid due to this migration.

“We assure the public that any unutilised amounts and unexpired coupons are safe and transferrable into user’s SSP accounts,” Ng said.

Paper coupon holders are required to download and install the SSP app available in Google Play store, Apple App Store or Huawei Store, and register as an SSP user to exchange the coupons, to enable this process SSDU Innovations Sdn Bhd will organise three series of exchange programmes for parking coupons at multiple locations to alert the citizens to transfer their coupon credits into their SSP accounts.

“At these programmes, all coupons from different local councils will be accepted for transfer,” he said.

The Selangor state government will use the Smart Road Asset Management System (SRAMS) for the quicker and more efficient monitoring, identification and repairing of damaged roads in the state, the Selangor Journal wrote.

The technology used by the system is developed by state-backed subsidiary Selgem, and combines artificial intelligence, detection and light expansion, according to the Selangor Journal. The equipment deployed includes smart drones and 360-degree cameras, and is aimed at facilitating the process of identifying road damage – such as potholes – automatically, and to digitise workflow and processing of complaints, it said.

SRAMS will also help government agencies analyse the condition of highway assets which have been affected by the major floods that occured in Selangor late last year, said Selangor MB Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.

“Through this system, user can not only file reports on a road’s quality and the shape of the ground surface, but also include [reports of] other accessories such as lights, traffic lights and road dividers. The system is very efficient, hence why we requested [that] it be combined with IRS, whereas before reports were made by the public through Waze,” Amirudin said.

All local authorities (PBTs) in the state will use the system by June, in order to standardise assets and road maintenance, he added. “We will see how it goes, perhaps by the middle of the year we will combine the system with all PBTs, as for the time being it is still with the Selangor public works department,” the Selangor MB said.

SERI KEMBANGAN, 28 JAN: Selangor menyasarkan pencapaian 46 peratus bagi inisiatif pelaksanaan Negeri Pintar (Smart Selangor) menjelang hujung tahun ini, kata Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari.

Dato’ Menteri Besar berkata 12 domain yang dikendalikan oleh Smart Selangor Delivery Unit (SSDU) sejak 2016 itu dilaksanakan berperingkat.

“Sehingga November tahun lalu, pencapaian Selangor ke arah Negeri Pintar mencapai 26 peratus dan kita menjangkakan mencapai 46 peratus hujung tahun ini.

“Usaha pelaksaaan 12 domain termasuk e-tunai, pengurusan alam sekitar, ekonomi dan pentadbiran negeri itu dilaksanakan berperingkat sejak 2016,” katanya ketika ditemui media selepas Majlis Perasmian Penutup Program Perkampungan Menara Gading Selangor di Universiti Putra Malaysia.

Belanjawan Selangor 2020 memperuntukkan RM50 juta dengan tumpuan pembangunan ‘Selangor Gigabit Network’ (SeGNet) dan ‘Hybrid Data Centre’ yang bakal memperkenalkan penggunaan jaringan intranet kerajaan berkelajuan tinggi dan menerajui penggunaan teknologi pengkomputeran awan untuk tujuan pemulihan data ketika bencana.

KERAJAAN Selangor bercadang mengenakan caj RM1 kepada warga asing sebagai bayaran menggunakan perkhidmatan Bas Smart Selangor mulai tahun depan.

Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari bagaimanapun berkata, bagi warganegara Malaysia perkhidmatan bas itu kekal percuma.

“’Smart Selangor Delivery Unit’ akan menyediakan sistem ‘Tap To Ride’ pada semua Bas Smart Selangor bagi membolehkan warganegara menggunakan kad pengenalan untuk menaiki bas itu secara percuma.

“Manakala kutipan caj terhadap perkhidmatan itu daripada warga asing pula digunakan untuk menyelenggara serta menambah jumlah laluan Bas Smart Selangor pada masa depan,” katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian ketika membentangkan Belanjawan Selangor 2020 yang bertemakan ‘Selangor Negeri Unggul, Kehidupan Bermartabat’ pada persidangan Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) di Shah Alam hari ini.

Beliau berkata, pada masa ini, Bas Smart Selangor mempunyai 41 laluan membabitkan 11 kawasan pihak berkuasa tempatan (PBT).

Justeru katanya, PBT disaran mengambil pendekatan untuk menilai laluan bas itu agar lebih terhubung dengan jajaran dan stesen pengangkutan awam seperti Stesen Transit Aliran Massa (MRT), untuk memberi lebih manfaat kepada rakyat.

“Kerajaan negeri juga memberi jaminan akan mengekalkan kelangsungan perkhidmatan itu dengan peruntukan RM30 juta tahun depan,” katanya.

Persidangan DUN ditangguhkan ke Isnin ini.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 23 — The Selangor government aspires to be South-east Asia’s premier Smart State by 2025, by leveraging on smart technology and innovations.

Mentri Besar Amirudin Shari said under the Smart Selangor initiative, it would provide solutions to the needs and problems of the people, as well as enhance the state’s socio-economic prospects and create more high-value opportunities for business and investments.

“Smart Selangor is unique in the sense that it is the only one in the world to take the concept beyond established urban hubs.

“The goal of Smart Selangor is to ensure that everyone in Selangor from city dwellers to kampung folk, from white-collared executives to fisherman and farmers can reap its benefits,” he said in his keynote address at the Selangor Regional Powerhouse forum, here, today.

The Smart Selangor initiative started in late 2015 with the vision of being ranked in the top 20 smart cities in the world, with an idea to leverage on the Internet of Things (IoT) solutions to improve the quality of life for all its people.

It has listed 12 domains under the project’s master blueprint such as Smart Waste Management, Smart Digital Infrastructure, Smart Governance and Smart Education.

Amiruddin said Selangor has come a long way over the years and was proud to be the most advanced state in the country, and it was time for the state to take the next step up to a higher level.

“When it comes to digital infrastructure, our high-speed Internet penetration rate is 60 per cent this year, and under the Smart Selangor initiative, we aim to increase it to 100 per cent by 2025,” he said.

Amiruddin said Selangor had long been Malaysia’s economic champion with a gross domestic product (GDP) of approximately US$80 billion last year and contributed almost a quarter of the national GDP.

Moving forward, Amirudin said the state government was also increasing its focus on various clusters such as aerospace, automotive, agriculture and agro-technology, maritime, education and eco-tourism to further add value to Selangor’s economy.

“Selangor has become a hub for a number of industries including aerospace-related ones which have brought in investments worth RM25 billion, as well as life sciences which generated investments worth RM13 billion,” he said.

Selangor Regional Powerhouse is a one-day forum which ropes in 500 global dignitaries comprising policy makers and industry leaders to discuss investment opportunities in Selangor and how the state government and industries could work together for mutual benefit and in optimising the state’s ideal ecosystem and infrastructure. — Bernama
