TAWAU: The Madani Government’s grassroots-level initiative, Program Madani Rakyat (PMR), has opened new avenues for local entrepreneurs in Sabah to access information on various government entrepreneurship programmes.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said the initiative boosts local product visibility and supports the growth of domestic tourism and the economy.
He added that Sabah has already benefited from multiple entrepreneurship programmes under the Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Ministry (Kuskop), impacting over 50,000 micro, small, and medium entrepreneurs.
These include rural market projects, digitalisation support via Tekun TikTok Shop, RM800 million in financing, and SME Corp’s micro-enterprise hubs, along with targeted poverty alleviation efforts through the ehsan@Kuskop initiative.
Hajiji emphasised that Sabah’s post-pandemic economic recovery is on track, with GDP improving yearly, and that continued Federal-State cooperation is vital in achieving the broader goals of a just and prosperous Madani society.
