Wan Junaidi said the Cooperatives Commission of Malaysia (CCM) would assist these cooperatives by providing them guidance and financial aid to help them to resuscitate their businesses.
“Some cooperatives did not submit full reports on their movements, including in terms of management. Efforts to help these inactive cooperatives are important because some are still in business but have not submitted a report,” he told reporters after presenting assistance to cooperatives in a ceremony held at Universiti Sains Malaysia Hospital in Kubang Kerian, here Saturday.
