BERA: The setting up of Malaysian Family Digital Economy Centres (PEDi) can help create and empower small entrepreneurs and improve the socioeconomic status of the people, especially rural folk, says the Prime Minister.

Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the micro, small and medium-scale enterprises (MSMEs) sector has been the pillar of the national economy, making up almost 1.2 million or 97.2% of total businesses as at the end of 2020.
