“To apply for the scheme, visit http://mikrokredit.selangor.gov.my/ or contact our financing officers at the 20 branches across the state.

“All Selangor people are eligible for the programme, especially women who are in charge of their households and meet the set requirements,” the agency said on Facebook.

Apart from NaDI, other schemes under Hijrah include i-Bisnes, Zero to Hero, Go Digital, i-Lestari, i-Agro and i-Bermusim, all of which aim to empower Selangor’s business community.
