Sedcovest chairman Datuk Awang Sham Amit said the courses, based on
knowledge and skills to assist the Bumiputera community to succeed in
business, was implemented in 18 districts.
These included Kota Kinabalu, Tawau, Sandakan, Papar, Keningau, Pitas,
Beluran, Tenom, Sipitang, Beaufort, Lahad Datu, Kimanis, Ranau, Kudat
and Semporna.
"Sedcovest hopes the state government is able to increase the
allocation for advanced courses in entrepreneurship as these courses
are in high demand from those who had undertaken these courses before,"
he said.
Awang Sham said this in his speech at the closing ceremony of
Restaurant Food and Catering Course here today. The event was officiated
by Tanjung Batu State Legislative Member Datuk Hamisah Samat.
According to Awang Sham, since 1997 until now, some 20,000 people had
participated in skills courses organised by Sedcovest, and from Jan-Oct
2012, a total of 1,800 people had participated in the entrepreneurship
courses.
To that end, Awang Sham hoped the participants appreciated the state
government's efforts which not only provided assistance but also gave
them skills and knowledge in various fields to ensure their success as
an entrepreneur.
He said not many governments in the world provided such special
treatment to its people and this showed that the Sabah government is
utterly concern with the needs of the rakyat.
A participant, Yamas Nusi, 49, from Felda Umas said the course is very
beneficial to him as he acquired knowledge on recipes from other races
such as Chinese to expand his menu offerings.
