Need business help? Go to Nadi, says minister

Entrepreneur development and cooperatives minister Steven Sim has encouraged entrepreneurs to visit Nadi centres for assistance with loans, licences, and government programs. Minister Sim believes that entrepreneurs should turn to the National Information Dissemination Centre (Nadi) instead of elected officials when seeking help.

The new PRIME service at the 222 Nadi centres across Malaysia aims to serve as a one-stop resource for small businesses, traders, and hawkers. The PRIME initiative, led by the National Entrepreneurial Institute in collaboration with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), will provide trained officers to answer entrepreneurs' questions, particularly about applications and assistance.

The government anticipates that between 30,000 and 50,000 entrepreneurs will take advantage of the PRIME service by the end of the year.
