She said the programme, namely the E-Commerce Campaign for MSMEs and Shop Malaysia Online, which was mobilised under the National Economic Recovery Plan , managed to achieve online sales of RM1.2 billion in a short period of time. “The figures prove that we are on the right track and it is not impossible that the good performance of e-commerce will continue while benefitting the people of various groups, as well as empowering the people digitally as spelled out as MDEC’s core,” she said.
