He said that as of December last year, 38.7 per cent or 3,562 out of 9,162 total Halal-certified companies were owned by Bumiputera, but almost all of these businesses operated from behind houses that did not meet halal certification requirements.“Business owners rely too much on self-funding to sustain their daily business activities. At the same time, we all know that the government, government-linked companies provide a lot of assistance.
At the same time, Ameer proposed the implementation of the Halal Business Transformation Programme through activities such as business readiness assessment and guidance, including the establishment of a tier system and green lane to facilitate the Bumiputera in obtaining halal certification.He also suggested providing special financing, such as crowdfunding or endowment funds, to improve Bumiputera enterprises.
