KOTA KINABALU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor reiterated the
State Government’s commitment to support the growth of entrepreneurship in Sabah.
“Our state is full of potential, and we are eager to collaborate with like-minded
organisations such as the Malaysia Entrepreneurs’ Development Association (PUMM)
to further develop a vibrant, sustainable, and inclusive economy,” he said at the Malaysia
Role Model Enterprise Awards 2024 and PUMM installation and gala dinner at SICC last
night.
The Chief Minister’s speech was delivered by the Minister of Industrial Development and
Entrepreneurship, Datuk Phoong Jin Zhe.
“I believe entrepreneurship is more than just building businesses, it is about creating
opportunities, uplifting communities, and driving sustainable economic growth,” he said.
The award gala dinner’s theme, “Role Model Recognition”, is of great significance as it
highlights the importance of exemplary leadership and the power of setting a positive
example for the next generation of entrepreneurs, he said.
“As we look to the future, I am confident that your Association will continue to play a
pivotal role in shaping Malaysia’s entrepreneurial landscape. The challenges of the 21st
century, from technological advancements to global competition, present both
opportunities and obstacles.
“However, with the leadership of PUMM and the entrepreneurial spirit of its members, I
have no doubt that we will rise to these challenges and seize the opportunities before
us,” he said.-pr/BNN
