ISKANDAR PUTERI, June 28 (Bernama) -- The Buy Malaysian Goods Campaign (KBBM) 2025 themed 'Jom Beli Lokal' has received a positive response from traders and visitors at the Southern Zone Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) Carnival Tour held here.
A Bernama check found that most visitors and entrepreneurs welcomed the initiative, viewing it as a timely move to strengthen demand for local products and benefit micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
Café owner Roslinda Basir, 51, said the campaign has opened more opportunities for small-scale entrepreneurs to promote their products directly to consumers.
'At this carnival, I'm selling nasi ambang with a variety of homemade side dishes and sambal. The response over the past two days has been very encouraging.
'With continued support from the government, more Malaysians will get to know and have confidence in products made by local entrepreneurs,' she told Bernama at her booth today.
Kuih keria seller Mohamad Riduan Sukiman, 41, also welcomed the campaign, describing it as part of the government's ongoing efforts to empower local industries.
'I hope efforts like this can be extended to rural areas too, because our local products are high quality. We just need to maintain momentum and ensure continuity to reach wider markets,' he said.
Visitor Noraini Md Yusof, 32, described the campaign as a timely move to help stimulate the economy of the people in the post-pandemic period.
