THE Rural Development Ministry aims to produce 20 millionaires from among entrepreneurs from rural areas by the end of next year, said Minister Rina Mohd Harun.
She said such figures will inspire other rural folk to follow in their footsteps.
“When people see someone succeeding in a particular field, it motivates them to make effort to achieve the same level of success. For example, selling products like fried onions and love letters (a type of traditional biscuit) can be a lucrative business.
“The ministry’s target is to produce at least 20 millionaires from among rural entrepreneurs by the end of next year,” she told reporters at a meet-and-greet session in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
She said initiatives to boost rural folk’s socio-economic status involve various parties, including the private sector and civil society groups.
“To develop rural areas, the ministry needs support from all quarters.” – Bernama, November 6, 2019.
