Mixed reaction to digital mall expansion plan

Mara digital malls offer cheaper rent and provide a platform for bumiputra IT entrepreneurs to market their products. – HAFIZ SOHAIMI/THESUNWhile entrepreneurs have lauded Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s intention to help bumiputra businesses through the expansion of his Majlis Amanah Rakyat Digital Mall project, some question why he is not taking a more inclusive approach in pushing his Keluarga Malaysia national agenda.

“Not many non-bumiputra visit my shop. We have to promote national unity through the Keluarga Malaysia concept, which is in line with Ismail Sabri’s agenda.” “Because space at existing digital malls in Bukit Bintang and Petaling Jaya is almost fully taken up, rental there is extremely high, and bumiputra entrepreneurs cannot afford it. But with the Mara Digital Mall project being expanded, we will be able to afford rent and lower the prices of our products.”

On Monday, after a surprise visit to the Mara Digital Mall in Kuala Lumpur, Ismail Sabri announced that Mara has been instructed to continue with the Mara Digital Mall project to open up more opportunities for bumiputra youth to venture into the IT business.
