The Selangor government will extend the RM200 book voucher to Form 6 students, with distribution expected before the end of this year.
Menteri besar Amirudin Shari said this is an extension of the Kita Selangor scheme, previously only available to university students born in the state.
“We will assess the number of students eligible for the voucher, based on Selangor education department data.
“Despite considerable demand, the voucher was previously given only to Selangor students through the Selangor Students Association.
“We plan to distribute the vouchers for Form Six students before October or the year end,” Bernama reported him as saying today in Shah Alam.
Amirudin also said the state had allocated RM400,000 for this year’s book vouchers, an amount to be increased and included in the 2026 Selangor budget.
He said this expansion will help ease the financial burden on Form 6 students, allowing them to purchase additional reading materials in preparation for university.
“Education remains a top priority for the state government and this commitment will be reflected in the largest financial allocation in next year’s budget,” he said.
