Previously, it was announced that RM100 million would be allocated under Tekun with RM50 million for each programme. He expressed that these funds will benefit around 5000 Indian entrepreneurs this year, allowing them to expand their businesses.

Encouraging the Indian entrepreneurs to get this opportunity, Datuk Ramanan highlighted that applications can be made via Tekun website or the nearest Tekun office. Under SPUMI, eligible applicants can receive financing between RM1000-RM50,000. Whist, SPUMI Goes Big, provides funding between RM50,000 and RM100,000.

Datuk Ramanan, urged the Indian Community to utilize these resources to improve their economic standing and contribute to Malaysia’s economic growth. At the same time, he also said the need for responsible repayment by the entrepreneurs who received this financial assistance. Given that Tekun operates these initiatives using internal funds rather than new allocation, timely repayment is crucial to ensure that it can be continued to support the future entrepreneurs who need it too.
