KOTA KINABALU: There is a need to align Sabah’s small business registration framework with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) to unlock access to federal funding, boost business credibility, and ensure fair economic inclusion with Peninsular Malaysia.
In making the call for this alignment, the Sabah Association of Professional Accountants (Sapa) President Datuk Tan Kok Liang said currently, many micro and small enterprises in Sabah operate solely under municipal-issued trading or operating licences.
