SHAH ALAM, June 11 — The Ministry of Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives (Kuskop) today presented business grants and financing facilities worth more than RM64 million to 16 entrepreneurs in Selangor, in conjunction with the Madani Entrepreneurs and Cooperatives Tour (PJUKM 2023) programme.
All recipients are entrepreneurs under the guidance of agencies under Kuskop, including SME Corporation Malaysia, Amanah Ikhtiar Malaysia, UDA Holdings Bhd, Malaysia Cooperative Societies Commission, and Tekun Nasional.
Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister Datuk Ewon Benedick said the initiative will ensure the continuity and sustainability of the entrepreneurial community as well as cooperatives in facing the challenges in an uncertain global economic environment.
“We want the entrepreneurs and cooperatives that exist today to continue to succeed amid the mushrooming of new enterprises. This is what we are fighting for under the National Entrepreneurship Policy 2030, for Malaysia to become an outstanding entrepreneurial nation by 2030,” he said.
Ewon was speaking at the opening of PJUKM 2030 Selangor earlier today, which was officiated by Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari.
He also hopes the ministry and the state government will stay united in developing entrepreneurs toward upholding the concept of well-being under the Madani government, as aspired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
