He said with the presence of such a platform, the 1Azam programme can be
implemented more effectively with participants of potential from the
poorer group, to produce successful entrepreneurs.
"In the context of the Cost of Living Assistance to Fishermen, it
clearly proves the concern and commitment of the government in
appreciating the contribution of fishermen to the fisheries and food
sector," he added.
Musa said this in his speech while officiating the handing over of the
LKIM Cost of Living Assistance and launch of the IAzam Entrepreneur
Community as well as the Sabah Young Agro Businessman Award at the
Institut Kemahiran Mara, Sepanggar, near here today.
The text of his speech was delivered by the State Assistant Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry, Datuk Musbah Jamli.
Musa said the Cost of Living Assistance can not just reduce the burden
of families but also encourage fishermen to continue working hard.
"I am also proud that after the launch of the Sabah YAB in April last
year for graduates of the Institut Skill Tech, the pioneer group has
succeeded in harnessing MyAgrosis, Agro Bank funds of about RM1 million
with the total number of borrowers at 20," he added.
He said this made Sabah YAB the first and biggest as well as the best MYAgrosis group in Malaysia.
The launch of the 1Azam Entrepreneur Community for the Karambunai state constituency is the first in the country.
