KOTA KINABALU (April 30): Entrepreneurs and business owners in Sabah are urged to register as a vendor directly and obtain the Ministry of Finance (MoF) certificate. Through the Hari Bertemu Pembekal eP: Daftar & Lulus programme, all companies have the opportunity to secure immediate approval within the same day. However, approval is subject to the complete submission of required documents. On April 24, Hari Bertemu Pembekal was held at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), Kota Kinabalu, and was attended by 122 companies. Sabah Federal Finance Officer, Tuan Norali @ Ag Norali Ag Damit acknowledged that the program provided significant benefit to industry players, particularly for companies registering for the MoF certificate for the first time. For a fee of only RM450 charged by the Ministry of Finance, companies are able to participate in government tenders during its three-year validity period. 'For first-time users (of the eP system), you may encounter certain difficulties and this programme is certain to help ease the process. 'The impact (of this programme) is to prevent third parties from taking advantage of companies seeking to register with the ePerolehan system by charging unnecessary fees, despite the registration process already being fairly straightforward,' said Norali in his statement on the ePerolehan Malaysia and commercedotcom Facebook pages. Hari Bertemu Pembekal eP: Daftar & Lulus in Sabah was the second in the series for this year involving the support of eight officers from the Sabah Federal Treasury (PMSabah) and 11 officers from commercedotcom (CDC). This one-day programme offered direct assistance to companies in completing their MoF certificate registration before proceeding to the review and approval process. 'I had been wanting to register with ePerolehan for a long time, but I've only been approached by external agents. I found that using middlemen made the application process more complicated. Today, I attended this programme and manage to succesfully obtained the MoF certificate myself,' said Fadli Faris, a business owner. In addition to this programme, Norali stated that PMSabah has also started the 'Sanang Saja Bah Daftar eP' initiative, which shares the same objectives but targeted to all the districts across Sabah. 'For example, we are targeting Paitan, Sabah, which is a newly established district (with full district status), where the number of companies registered with eP is still low. Therefore, this area will be one of the target locations where we will implement the 'Sanang Saja Bah Daftar eP' programme,' he said. The upcoming programme 'Sanang Saja Bah Daftar eP' is scheduled on 14 and 15 May 2025 in Tawau, from 9:00 a.m to 1:00 p.m. Additional information is available on the official PMSabah website. However for both of these initiatives, the immediate approval does not apply to registration applications for Special Category (Bidang Khas) and Bumiputera status. ePerolehan, a Government Electronic Procurement system for products and services, developed and managed by CDC, is the only system used by the Federal government that provides a virtual marketplace for both government agencies and businesses nationwide.
