MDEC disburses RM5.5mil grants to 45 recipients

“The new grant framework builds on our input-output-outcome-impact model. These grants are executed with ease of access and transparency in mind – all information of our grants are made public through the mainstream media and our social media, ensuring that we cover everyone from Perlis to Sabah. “What matters is the know-how, not the know-who,” said MDEC chairman Datuk Wira Dr Rais Hussin Mohamed Ariff.(pic)
