SHAH ALAM, Oct 1 — The Selangor state government hopes that the federal government would give a special allocation to upgrade roads around the Port Klang area here, in Budget 2020.

"Pulau Indah is a port area that plays a big part in the economic development of the country, and we see that the roads need to be upgraded and repaired,” said Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari to reporters when asked about his hopes on the budget which would be tabled by Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng on Oct 11.
