KUALA LUMPUR, June 27 (Bernama) -- Entrepreneurs facing difficulties in getting loans due to their blacklisted status on the Central Credit Reference Information System (CCRIS) can refer to SME Corp for assistance, says Minister of International Trade and Industry (MITI), Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed.

He said entrepreneurs who have already settled their loans but are still on the blacklist of CCRIS and the CTOS Credit Tip-Off Service could refer to SME Corp.

"We are giving second chance to the entrepreneurs whereby SME Corp will find a way to help and advice," he told reporters here today at the end of a networking and business opportunities session jointly organised for SMEs under a collaborative effort by MITI, Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) and Perbadanan Usahawan Nasional Bhd (PUNB).

Mustapa said this when commenting on the issue of the Finance Ministry requesting Bank Negara to find a way for a more better system for CCRIS and CTOS, so that help could be given to the SMEs to get loans.
