Yesterday, I attended a seminar at The Light Hotel in Seberang Jaya. Originally, I was invited just to make up the numbers, as the organisers were unsure how many would attend. However, it turned out that more than 100 people filled the audience, all of whom were small and medium-sized business owners.
This half-day seminar was tailored specifically for SMEs by Samenta Northern Region, a trade association representing small and medium enterprises. The agenda featured speakers discussing a range of topics relevant to these businesses, including ESG, halal certification, halal entrepreneurship, export opportunities through Matrade and highlights from the latest Budget.
Missing from the picture below is my wife who, in the inexplicable absence of the branch trade association’s chairman and deputy chairman, worked tirelessly to bring this seminar to a successful conclusion. I had witnessed first-hand her dedication in coordinating the programme, holding countless online meetings with the Samenta committee, speakers and government agencies to ensure everything ran smoothly.
