Major shift seen in SME landscape


PETALING JAYA: Small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) will need to reinvent the way they do business in light of the sector’s liberalisation, said SME Corp chief executive officer Datuk Hafsah Hashim.

“We are likely to see a major shift in the landscape, as the Government gradually liberalises the sector by 2015 in line with the obligations under the Asean Free Trade Agreement,” she told StarBiz.
