YOUNG entrepreneurs in Putrajaya who plan to start their own business will get 10 new kiosks to rent this month. In conjunction with the Federal Territory Day celebrations last month, Putrajaya Corporation (PjC) added six kiosks in the Precinct 9 food court and four more at Souq in Precinct 1.

The initiative is part of the Young City Entrepreneurs programme by Federal Territories Ministry and PjC to encourage youths to start their own businesses when the Covid-19 pandemic started in 2020 and many were struggling to get a job.
