Deputy Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister R Ramanan has proposed for the government to increase the RM30 million allocation of the Indian Community Entrepreneur Development Scheme (Spumi) under the Tabung Ekonomi Kumpulan Usaha Niaga (Tekun) Nasional in line with current challenges.
He said Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister Ewon Benedick has promised to bring the matter to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
“At the same time, Ewon also asked me to look at other needs that could benefit the Indian community, especially under the SME Corporation Malaysia (SME Corp), the Cooperative Commission of Malaysia, and other agencies under the ministry.
“I understand that many entrepreneurs need support and assistance. We will help them the best way we can,” he said in a Facebook post yesterday.
On Tuesday, Ramanan (above) met with Ewon to discuss various programmes and the direction of the ministry for this year.
He said the meeting was the commitment to cooperate and maximise the ministry’s functions and roles in efforts to advance the entrepreneurial and cooperative sectors, adding that it reflected a collaborative spirit that will be the key driver for the country’s growth in economy and entrepreneurship.
Ramanan said he hoped he could provide strength and support in driving the ministry to continue serving the community and contributing to the country’s growth.
