Its minister, Datuk Seri Rina Mohd Harun said to date only 27 per cent of women entrepreneurs were registered out of the total 83,969 entrepreneurs recorded. Rina said a total of 204 women who participated in Kemas courses had been assisted to register their business with SSM and received the Business Registration Certificate in the programme today.
Rina, who is also the Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia Srikandi chief, also advised women to remove the perception that they would not be eligible to receive assistance such as Cost of Living aid when registered with SSM as it was aimed to expand their entrepreneurship.
