KUSKOP to hold 23-series nationwide E-Invoicing Seminar tour
Ewon gives thumbs up to the event.
PENAMPANG (July 22): The Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Ministry (KUSKOP) will implement 23 series of the MADANI Entrepreneur e-Invoicing Seminar nationwide this year, targeting the participation of 20,000 Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) entrepreneurs.
Its minister, Datuk Ewon Benedick, said the initiative is in line with the government's efforts to accelerate the adoption of the e-Invoicing system among entrepreneurs, which is an early step towards the scaling and modernisation of MSME operations in the country.
'In the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), which will begin in 2026, KUSKOP will place strong focus on the MSME entrepreneur scaling agenda, that is, to develop micro enterprises into small enterprises, and small enterprises into businesses that can be listed on Bursa Malaysia.
'This agenda begins with the early step of MSME entrepreneurs adopting the use of e-Invoicing in their businesses. I hope entrepreneurs view this as a potential to scale up their businesses.
'That is why KUSKOP, through its agency the National Entrepreneurship Institute (INSKEN), is organising 23 series of e-Invoicing seminars nationwide this year. In addition, SME Corp is also working together with the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) to support the adoption and implementation of e-Invoicing among MSME entrepreneurs,' he said.
He said this while officiating the MADANI Entrepreneur e-Invoicing Seminar at the Sabah Cultural Centre here on Tuesday.
Also present were INSKEN Board of Trustees chairman Haji Mustaffa Kamil Ayub, INSKEN Chief Executive Officer Viviantie Sarjuni, INSKEN board members, and heads of agencies under the Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Ministry.
Ewon said the seminar is part of the ministry's initiative to empower entrepreneurs through understanding and compliance with digital systems, particularly the e-Invoicing system.
'In line with the digitalisation trend and the Malaysia MADANI aspiration, the implementation of e-Invoicing is an important step in increasing business operational efficiency and ensuring transparency and integrity in transactions.
'KUSKOP remains committed to strengthening the national entrepreneurial ecosystem, including expanding access to knowledge, technology, and business support,' he said.
