KUCHING (May 19): The phased implementation of Malaysia's e-Invoice system represents a vital step in the nation's digital transformation, moving beyond trend to necessity, said Batu Kitang assemblyman Dato Lo Khere Chiang.
Speaking at the 2nd e-Invoice Seminar hosted by the Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) Batu Kitang Youth section at SUPP headquarters yesterday, Lo highlighted the importance of inclusive collaboration between government, the private sector, and the wider community in facilitating the transition.
'For many small-and-medium enterprises (SMEs), hawkers, and micro-businesses, technology can appear daunting, but I believe after today's seminar, much of that fear will subside and their understanding of e-Invoicing will grow significantly,' he said.
The seminar attracted over 500 participants and was designed to equip attendees with the practical knowledge, tools, and guidance needed to navigate the full implementation of the e-Invoice confidently.
'Today's seminar is more than just a talk. It's a bridge connecting government policy with the real-world needs of businesses, helping them to adopt and use digital tools like e-Invoices effectively,' he said.
He also commended the SUPP Batu Kitang Youth for their dedication and proactive approach in organising the event.
'Their efforts not only simplified a complex subject but also introduced what was once an intimidating policy to grassroots businesses and the general public in an accessible and engaging manner.
'Whether you are a large corporation or a roadside vendor, we are here to support you,' said Lo.
'The insights shared today will not only help you remain compliant and avoid penalties but also ensure your operations run smoothly in the digital era.' digital transformation e-invoice lead Lo Khere Chiang
