Khir, who also addressed the court, said Selangor had **progressed under his eight-year stewardship as MB.**

The former MB said he had developed the state to international standards which had been recognised by the International Monetary Fund, where in his eight years as MB he had pulled in **annual investments of RM13.8 billion in 2008 alone, compared to RM6 billion in 2000.**

"The investments had created between 30,000 to 40,000 new jobs annually," he said, adding that he resolved the squatter problem issue and helped improve zakat (tithe) collection to RM250 million from RM40 million previously for it to be distributed to the poor.

Khir also said he **formed a special fund for the Indian community to address social problems.**
