PENAMPANG: The 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) will prioritise helping micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) adopt digital tools like the e-Invoice system, said Entrepreneur Development Minister Datuk Ewon Benedick.
Speaking at the Madani Entrepreneurs Seminar in Penampang, Ewon stressed that digitalisation is essential for business resilience. The seminar, part of a 23-stop nationwide tour, has already engaged over 11,000 entrepreneurs.
Ewon said agencies like Insken and SME Corp are working with LHDN to prepare businesses for the e-Invoice rollout. He added that 13MP will also support inclusive business and social enterprise models for more equitable growth.
