Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Deputy Minister R Ramanan has described those accusing the Madani government of neglecting the Indian community’s economy as “insane”.
He said various forms of assistance to empower the Indian community’s economy were introduced by the government, with over 10,000 individuals receiving and benefiting from them.
Among the initiatives provided were the Skim Pembiayaan Pemerkasaan (Spumi) Goes Big, Prosperity Empowerment and A New Normal (Penn), Bank Rakyat Indian Entrepreneur Financing-i (Brief-i), and the Business Accelerator Programme for Indian Small Business (I-BAP).
“There has been a very encouraging response to various programmes to assist the Indian community.
“However, there are still individuals and groups (in the opposition) claiming the government is not helping the Indian community; they continue to question where the assistance for the Indian community is.
“There are two or three ‘insane people’ claiming the PM (Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim) does not care about the Indian community, even though a lot of aid has been provided.
“If you want to criticise, do so rationally, not by fabricating false accusations,” he said.
Ramanan was speaking after opening the 73rd Annual Delegates Conference of the Malaysian Associated Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (MAICCI) for 2024 in Kuala Lumpur today.
He said to further empower the Indian community’s economy, his ministry will introduce a new programme called Empowering Indian Entrepreneurs to train entrepreneurs from the community.
He added that MAICCI will be the ministry’s strategic partner in implementing the initiative, which will focus on training participants in the fields of business, entrepreneurship, and the use of AI technology.
