IPOH: The Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Ministry\u00a0(KUSKOP) is optimistic that the implementation of the 185 programmes\u00a0proposed in the Budget 2023 can have a positive impact as well as drive the country’s development in line with the \u2018Malaysia Madani\u2019 concept.\u00a0
\nIts minister Datuk Ewon Benedick said all of those programmes\u00a0are generally\u00a0aimed at empowering the development of micro, small and medium enterprises\u00a0(MSMEs) involving various groups.
\n\u201cI am very confident that based on previous engagement sessions with the\u00a0Finance Ministry (MoF), the proposals (programmes) that have been submitted have been taken seriously and hopefully included in the budget this time.
\n\u201cThere are also additional (programmes) that we recommended to the Finance Ministry. Among the new programmes that we are asking for allocations include the development of social enterprises, development programes for\u00a0hawkers and petty traders as well as the graduate entrepreneur programme,\u201d\u00a0he said.
\nEwon told reporters this after attending a meet-and-greet session with the Perak Orang Asli community at the\u00a0Simpang Pulai\u00a0Orang Asli Educational Excellence Centre near here today.\u00a0
\nIt was reported on Jan 17 that KUSKOP had submitted a proposal for a RM666 million allocation, involving 185 programmes, to MoF for Budget 2023 which will be re-tabled on Feb 24.\u00a0
\nIn another development, Ewon said the\u00a0Cooperatives Commission of Malaysia (SKM) has approved a loan repayment moratorium for a period of three consecutive months starting from Jan 1 until March 31\u00a0this year to any cooperative affected by the flood disaster from Dec 9 to Dec 31, 2022.
\nHe said applications for the moratorium can\u00a0be submitted directly to SKM for further action.
\nOn today\u2019s programme, he said it was a platform to gather feedback on how to\u00a0improve the well-being of the Orang Asli community, especially from the economic development\u00a0point of view.
