More funds for small businesses


By JOY LEE

BUDGET 2018 maintained a strong emphasis on SMEs as industry observers note a bigger allocation for the sector compared with 2017. However, many also note that a cut in corporate tax was sorely lacking.

“I think there is more allocation than 2017. There were some good moves by the Government such as the RM7bil allocated under the Skim Jaminan Pembiayaan Perniagaan (SJPP), and more funds given for export activities.
