Govt aims to produce 600 bumi entrepreneurs in timber, furniture industry by 2025, says Wee Jeck Seng


PUTRAJAYA: The government is aiming to produce 600 bumiputra entrepreneurs in the timber and furniture industry by 2025 through several initiatives that include training, incentives and providing loans, says Deputy Primary Industry and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Jeck Seng (pic).

According to Wee, this was because bumiputra participation in the timber and furniture industry is low, as there are only 471 bumiputera entrepreneurs in the industry at present.
