SHAH ALAM, Nov 14 (Bernama) -- Tertiary students undergoing industrial training at any Selangor government agency or subsidiary will receive an allowance of RM1,500 per month starting next year.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said the new rate also applies to any student undergoing industrial training at the Offices of State Executive Councillors, as well as state assemblymen, with an allocation of RM1.5 million provided for this purpose.
He said the existing allowance for internship programmes in the market is viewed as low for students and graduates, where some only receive between RM800 and RM900 per month.
"The state government will top up the difference according to the existing rate so that 500 Selangor graduates and students undergoing practical training receive a more appropriate allowance of RM1,500 per month," he said when tabling the Selangor 2026 Budget at the Selangor State Assembly here today.
Amirudin also announced an allocation of RM17.378 million for the implementation of the Education Fee Subsidy under the Selangor Government's Higher Education Institutions for next year.
He said the state government will bear 50 percent of the tuition fees for 4000 children of Selangor who are furthering their studies at the Universiti Islam Selangor (UIS) and Universiti Selangor (UNISEL) for the September 2026 intake.
