MSMEs Want More Simplicity, Less Red Tape

The Twelfth Malaysia Plan targets to grow the economic contribution of MSMEs to 45% of GDP by 2025 from just under 40% currently. But do the policies at hand recognise the nuances of the MSME landscape, including those related to women entrepreneurs? To mark World MSME Day, we discuss these themes  with: Chin Chee Seong, National Secretary General of the SME Association and Gaya Subramaniam, co-founder of Bungalow18, a multi-space boutique featuring local and handcrafted products.

Produced by: Tun Hizami Hashim

Presented by: Shazana Mokhtar
