KUALA LUMPUR, – Allocations and various initiatives through Budget 2027 are deemed to be able to strengthen the ecosystem and increase the competitiveness of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (PMKS) in facing the current economic challenges.
Senior Lecturer at the School of Business Management and Entrepreneurship, Faculty of Economics and Management, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Prof. Associate Dr. Shifa Mohd Nor said that assistance includes grants, easy financing facilities and tax incentives to potentially help local entrepreneurs expand their businesses.
According to him, the special grant for halal certification is one of the important initiatives that needs to be fully utilized by the business community.
“The biggest opportunity that caught my attention was the halal certification grant for PMKS amounting to RM5,000 for the first time application.
“The halal aspect is very important in Malaysia because it provides added value, guarantees well-being and ensures syariah compliance. This grant indirectly facilitates business for entrepreneurs,” he said when interviewed at Wisma Berita, today.
