AS past recipients of a government grant, entrepreneurs Noorasikin Jailani and Suriati Sudin, both 30, welcome any additional aid to keep their businesses afloat.
The two, who run stalls selling homemade products from their fellow residents at the Damansara Bistari flats, are keen to apply for aid under the People and Economic Strategic Empowerment Programme (Pemerkasa) stimulus package in hopes of expanding their business besides helping their community.
“Having more capital will allow us to recruit more women entrepreneurs and market our products online, thereby supporting more families as many of us started business ventures to supplement our household income, ” said Noorasikin, who sells cookies and cakes.
