PENAMPANG: The Kadazandusun Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) has expressed alignment with the Federal Government’s ongoing targeted subsidy rollout, emphasising that plugging leakages is vital for long-term economic resilience.
The Chamber, however, urges swift, agile adjustments to the current administrative mechanisms to protect East Malaysian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) from severe operational disruptions.
KCCI President Datuk Ladislaus Maluda said while the strategic intent behind the national policy is sound, the focus must now shift to smooth execution on the ground.
“In an era defined by global economic volatility, KCCI supports the national objective of moving away from unsustainable blanket models toward prudent, targeted spending. Ensuring public funds directly benefit local citizens is key to national growth. However, because our SMEs are the primary engine of this growth, the Government must take immediate heed of grassroots feedback regarding how these changes are being enforced at the ground level,” he said.
