Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari has highlighted that land encroachment in Selangor is no longer limited to small-scale settlements but now significantly involves commercial farming and illegal factories. Speaking on the state's enforcement challenges, Amirudin noted that these illegal operations often occupy prime state land, leading to environmental degradation and substantial revenue losses for the government. He emphasized that the state is shifting its focus to target these larger entities that exploit public land for private profit without any legal permits or safety oversight. 

The Menteri Besar pointed out that many of these illegal factories operate in sensitive areas, contributing to water pollution and soil erosion, which often result in costly disasters for the state to manage. He explained that some farms have been operating for years under the guise of "temporary use," but have expanded significantly without official gazettement or environmental assessments. The state government intends to take a firmer stance by issuing immediate evacuation notices and, where necessary, carrying out demolition exercises to reclaim and rehabilitate the affected land. 

Amirudin also called for better coordination between local councils and land offices to identify encroachment at an earlier stage before these operations become entrenched. He suggested that while the state is open to legalizing certain agricultural activities through proper channels, illegal factories will face zero tolerance due to the high risks they pose to public safety and the environment. This crackdown is part of a broader effort to ensure that land development in Selangor remains structured, legal, and sustainable for the long-term benefit of its residents.
