BERA: The setting up of Keluarga Malaysia (Malaysian Family) Digital Economy Centres (PEDi) can help create and empower small entrepreneurs towards innovative and competitive digitalisation and improve the socioeconomic status of the people, especially the rural community. "PEDi is a one-stop centre to bring the small entrepreneurs closer to the digital economy. "It is hoped that these small entrepreneurs will then be able to expand their business further with online access and by using e-commerce platforms. The ability of the small entrepreneurs to adapt to digitalisation and technological developments will enhance their efficiency and sustain their business in the long run,” he added. He said the small entrepreneur empowerment programme would be led by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) with the cooperation of the relevant agencies and industry players, with the target of getting 800,000 small entrepreneurs to benefit from PEDi by 2025.
