Selangor's PLATS programme records RM10mil in sales
KLANG: The Platform Selangor (PLATS) initiative, a digital entrepreneurship ecosystem spearheaded by the Selangor government, has recorded cumulative sales exceeding RM10 million.
Ahmad Azri Zainal Nor, Head of the Menteri Besar Selangor Incorporated (MBI) Foundation, said the figure reflects the success of various initiatives under the programme.
"Based on our data, the Agrobank PLATS Ramadan Bazaar alone generated around RM8 million in sales," he told a press conference yesterday.
"Additionally, data from the point-of-sale device system provided to our entrepreneurs shows nearly RM3 million in transactions."
To date, 88,000 entrepreneurs have joined PLATS, edging closer to the target of 100,000 set by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.
The programme primarily supports micro-entrepreneurs, including hawkers and small retailers, particularly in the food and beverage and service sectors.
Ahmad Azri added that the foundation is collaborating with the Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS) to help entrepreneurs expand into international markets.
"We'll be heading to Shanghai this November to explore opportunities for marketing our products there, as well as in the Middle East," he said. - BERNAMA
