The Sabak Bernam Development Area (SABDA) is an economic push by Selangor state under the First Selangor Plan to realise the full potential of Sabak Bernam, while securing Malaysia’s food production and raising incomes for the local community.

The SABDA plan aims to attract investments up to RM1.9 billion to develop Selangor’s northern part, especially in the district, which amounts to roughly RM248 million a year until completion, according to Selangor Chief Minister, Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.

One year since SABDA’s launch, NIAGA SPOTLIGHT evaluates progress, challenges and the path forward with Zannifa Azura Ahmad, Head of Group Finance Division and Chief Financial Officer, Menteri Besar Selangor (Incorporated).
