If Selangor Fails, Malaysia's Economy Will Collapse: MB
Selangor cannot afford to fail as it is the heartbeat of the national economy, Menteri Besar Dato' Seri Amirudin Shari said today, in highlighting the importance of the state to Malaysia.
马来西亚的梦想之州雪兰莪是国家经济的中枢，首席部长拿督斯里阿米鲁丁今天表示，雪州不能承受失败的后果。
He said Selangor's massive contribution to the country's gross domestic product (GDP) today meant the federal government is heavily reliant on the state for the nation's continued prosperity."If our economy fails, the federal economy will collapse, and the effects will be felt by the whole society," he said in his speech.
他表示，雪州在国内生产总值（GDP）方面的巨大贡献意味着联邦政府在国家的持续繁荣中非常依赖该州。他在讲话中说：“如果我们的经济失败了，联邦经济将崩溃，其影响将被整个社会感受到。”
On July 2, the Statistics Department released its report showing Selangor remained the main contributor to the national economy, pushing 25.9 per cent to Malaysia's 2023 GDP.
7月2日，统计部门发布了报告，显示雪兰莪州仍然是国家经济的主要贡献者，为马来西亚2023年的GDP推动了25.9%。
The state was also the primary economic powerhouse in recent years, with a GDP contribution of 23.7 per cent in 2018, 24.1 per cent in 2019, 24.3 per cent in 2020, 24.8 per cent 2021, and 25.5 per cent in 2022.Selangor's impressive performance has also seen the state achieving high-income status, according to recent data from the World Bank.
在近年来的经济发展中，雪州也是主要的经济强国，在2018年贡献了23.7％的国内生产总值，在2019年贡献了24.1％，在2020年贡献了24.3％，在2021年贡献了24.8％，在2022年贡献了25.5％。根据世界银行的最新数据，雪州的表现也使其成为了高收入国家。
Despite this, Amirudin said the state cannot afford to rest its laurels by rinsing and repeating old formulas and expecting different results.
尽管如此，阿米鲁丁表示，该州不能依靠重复的老套路而沾沾自喜，必须适应变化并积极应对。
"We need to adapt to changes and be hands on. Which was why, when I took over the administration in 2018, I introduced economic clusters that focus on activities based on the uniqueness of specific localities and regions."
他说:“我在2018年接管行政工作时，推出了以特定地区和地区特色为基础的经济聚集区。”
Amirudin said this drive to always be on top was among the reasons the First Selangor Plan was launched in July 2022, a document he described as a direct response to pressing issues then, including the rapidly changing global market, the Covid-19 pandemic, and the nation's political instability."We focused on four strategic themes — strengthening the economy, ensuring social inclusivity and well-being, driving environmental sustainability and providing good and effective governance."
阿米鲁丁表示，这一始终保持领先地位的推动力是推出第一个雪兰莪计划的原因之一，该计划于2022年7月发布，他将其描述为对当时紧迫问题的直接回应，包括快速变化的全球市场、COVID-19大流行病和国家政治不稳定。我们专注于四个战略主题——增强经济、确保包容性和福祉、推动环境可持续性和提供良好和有效的治理。”
Today, he said, the main challenge Selangor faces is its growing population, due to migration from other states.
今天他说，雪州面临的主要挑战是人口不断增加，这是由于来自其他州的人员迁移引起的。
The menteri besar noted that while Selangor's population stood at 4.8 million people in 2008, this figure has ballooned to about 7.4 million today.
首席部长指出，雪州的人口从2008年的480万人增长到了今天的约740万人。
Coupled with the state's ageing population, Amirudin said the administration must find solutions to these new challenges and maintain productivity.
阿米鲁丁表示，在面对这些新挑战并保持生产力的同时，政府必须找到解决方案。
