SIBU: More Sarawakians have been urged to shift and venture into online business.
Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) Deputy Minister Chong Chieng Jen said online business is used worldwide and is growing faster than traditional businesses in supermarkets or shopping malls.
“In this era of industrial revolution, we have to adjust our business capital and our mindset to adapt to this changing time.
“That is why we need to move from traditional business to e-commerce which is now showing a growth of up to 10 per cent,” he said during a Chinese New Year gathering between the KPDNHEP with various non-government organisations (NGOs).
Also present were KPDNHEP deputy secretary (consumer and management) Datuk Rostam Affendi Datuk Salleh, KPDNHEP Sarawak director Datuk Stanley Tan, Sibu MP Oscar Ling, Lanang MP Alice Lau, Pelawan assemblyman David Wong, Bukit Assek assemblywoman Irene Chang, Temenggung Datuk Vincent Lau and Temenggung Stanley Geramong.
In the meantime, Chong who is also Stampin MP, said various achievements have been achieved in the country under the leadership of Pakatan Harapan (PH) government.
“During the 18 months of administering the country, Malaysia’s ranking in the International Corruption Perception Index showed an increase from 61 to 51 from over 180 countries.
“This is a positive development of the government under the leadership of PH and demonstrates that the PH government is a transparent and serious government in the fight against corruption in the country,” he said.
Chong also stressed that the country is on the right track despite hearing many complaints.
