Cable thieves targeting streetlight infrastructure have cost Selangor millions of ringgit last year. On road maintenance, Izham said the state was modernising its approach following the success of the jet patcher system intro­­duced as a pilot project last year. He added that Selangor allocated RM10mil annually for these studies on local authority roads. Under the new KJP, Selangor has allocated RM125mil annually from 2026 to 2030 for state road maintenance. The new assets include two excavators, three backhoe loaders, two 18m-skylift lorries and four tipper trucks, which will be used for road maintenance, traffic lights and emergency mobilisation during landslides or floods.
