Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Ismail
Sabri Yaakob said the scheme was handled by Bank Rakyat, which provided
financing facility from RM1,000 to RM50,000 as working capital or for
purchase of equipment.
"This scheme gives priority to participants who carry out the 1Malaysia
People's Menu business," he told reporters after launching a 1Malaysia
Traders Programme, here, Sunday.
He said those keen to apply could fill up a form which they could
obtain from any Bank Rakyat branch by bringing along a copy of their
identity card and Malaysian Companies Commission business registration.
"The process of approval for complete applications will only take five
to 10 days," he said, adding that the government had allocated RM50
million for the micro financing scheme.
