KUALA LUMPUR: With over 10,000 shops nationwide serving as merchant partners for the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (Sara) initiative, the government may allow smaller traders and grocery stores to be involved, says Deputy Finance Minister Liew Chin Tong.
"The government will continually review the requirements to become a Sara Merchant Partner to ensure that local grocery shops and small traders are also directly involved, in line with the Prime Minister’s New Year Address on Jan 5, which aims to include an additional 10,000 small operators in 2026," he told the Dewan Rakyat on Wednesday (Jan 28).
