IPOH: The expansion of the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (Sara) programme to include 10,000 small traders and sundry shop operators in villages is expected to strengthen the micro-economy while improving access to essential goods in rural areas, says the Perak Malay Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Its president Amirudin Tajudin said the initiative will make it easier for locals to buy essential goods, which in turn will help boost sales for small traders.
