PMKS MENUJU PEMULIHAN, KECEKALAN DAN PEMBAHARUAN MSME’s ROAD TO RECOVERY, RESILIENCE AND REFORM LAPORAN TAHUNAN 2021 A N N U A L R E P O R T PMKS MENUJU PEMULIHAN, KECEKALAN DAN PEMBAHARUAN MSME’s ROAD TO RECOVERY, RESILIENCE AND REFORM LAPORAN TAHUNAN 2021 A N N U A L R E P O R T RASIONAL REKA BENTUK Simbol anak panah adalah simbolik kepada kemajuan dan peningkatan yang selama ini telah dihasilkan oleh SME Corp. Malaysia dalam membantu perusahaan mikro, kecil dan sederhana (PMKS).
Pada tahun 2021, PMKS turut terjejas akibat daripada pandemik COVID-19.

Keadaan ini dapat digambarkan oleh kurungan merah – walaupun pandemik ini memberi kesan yang mendalam, namun PMKS terus berkembang dengan jayanya melalui bantuan yang disalurkan.

rumput di kedua-dua Kehijauan padang belah jalan melambangkan kejayaan di masa hadapan, jika kita terus tabah dan berdaya saing.

Peluang akan terbentang luas seperti jalan yang tidak berpenghujung.
DESIGN RATIONALE The arrow is a symbolic of the upward path that SME Corp. Malaysia has been maintaining over the years for the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

In the year 2021, the progress and forward movement by our home-grown MSMEs was hampered by the aftermath of COVID-19 pandemic.

As illustrated in the red bracket – while we were curbed in our movement, we progressed, albeit slowly.

There was always movement forward as the industries were assisted to adapt and adopt.
The green on both sides of the road would symbolise the green pastures ahead only if we were resilient and persevere.

Then the possibilities are endless just like the never ending road.

MALAYSIA DI BAWAH RMKe-11 PENCAPAIAN PROGRAM PEMBANGUNAN UTAMA BAGI TAHUN 2021 LAPORAN KEWANGAN 3 4 6 8 34 81 86 88 90 4 PERUTUSAN PENGERUSI Secara global, Perusahaan Mikro, Kecil dan Sederhana (PMKS) adalah tulang belakang serta teras pertumbuhan sebuah negara membangun.
Sebanyak 97.4% perusahaan di Malaysia adalah PMKS dan merupakan penyumbang utama kemajuan negara.

Namun begitu, PMKS juga mempunyai kekurangan di samping potensi yang tinggi dalam ekonomi, yang mana ianya dapat disaksikan apabila COVID-19 melanda landskap ekonomi Malaysia.
PMKS merupakan elemen penting untuk kemajuan ekonomi negara ini dan sudah pasti akan muncul hari yang lebih cerah jika berusaha bersungguh-sungguh dan menerima transformasi yang perlu sekiranya ingin berkembang maju semula….Insya-Allah kita pasti akan berjaya melakukannya.
SME CORP. MALAYSIA LAPORAN TAHUNAN 2021 PERUTUSAN PENGERUSI 5 Meskipun tahun 2020 mencatat sejarah sebagai tahun paling mencabar yang pernah dialami seluruh dunia dalam tempoh 100 tahun, namun pada tahun ini, setelah Negara beralih ke Fasa 4 Pelan Pemulihan Nasional (NRP) dan sekatan perjalanan yang ditarik semula, tahun 2021 telah menjadi permulaan bukan sahaja bagi pembinaan serta pemulihan perniagaan, malah memberi peluang kepada syarikat untuk meneliti dan menetapkan semula perniagaan mereka.
tahan, cekap serta kemampuan Sifat berdaya menyesuaikan diri dalam persekitaran norma baharu merupakan perkara yang penting dalam meneruskan kelangsungan PMKS.

Justeru itu, peranan SME Corp. Malaysia juga dilihat signifikan melalui halatuju yang jelas.

Pandemik COVID-19 telah memaksa usahawan untuk menyedari dan menghadapi beberapa ketidakcukupan dalam ekosistem PMKS yang mungkin tidak timbul sebelum ini.
Sebagai agensi yang telah diberikan mandat untuk menerajui pemulihan dan pengukuhan pembangunan PMKS, perkara ini dilihat sebagai peluang untuk mengkaji semula prasarana sokongan sedia ada dan mengubah landskap PMKS agar menjadikan mereka lebih bersedia di masa hadapan.

SME Corp. Malaysia amat komited bagi mengutamakan persediaan masa depan PMKS melalui keupayaan untuk mengadaptasikan diri dengan teknologi automasi, transformasi digital dan inovasi.
Bagi tujuan ini, SME Corp. Malaysia akan terus menyokong PMKS dalam hala tuju masing-masing melalui kerjasama dengan pelbagai agensi, pelaburan yang memberikan akses kepada program pendigitalan dan automasi, selain dari menyediakan bantuan pembiayaan.

Walaupun kejayaan jangka pendek telah terbukti melalui bantuan pembiayaan, pemulihan jangka panjang yang mampan bergantung kepada transformasi PMKS sendiri.
Kita masih belum sepenuhnya keluar daripada kemelut pandemik ini; meskipun ramai usahawan yang masih di dalam proses pemulihan tetapi terdapat juga usahawan yang masih bergelut untuk mengekalkan pertumbuhan dan menghadapi masa depan yang rapuh.

Prestasi PMKS menunjukkan masa depan yang memberangsangkan seperti yang dapat dilihat dalam pertumbuhan Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar (KDNK) sebanyak 1.0% berbanding dengan pertumbuhan negatif 7.3% (-7.3%) pada tahun 2020.
PMKS merupakan elemen penting untuk kemajuan ekonomi negara ini dan sudah pasti akan muncul hari yang lebih cerah jika berusaha bersungguh-sungguh dan menerima transformasi yang perlu sekiranya ingin berkembang maju semula….Insya-Allah kita pasti akan berjaya melakukannya.

Saya ingin merakamkan setinggi-tinggi penghargaan kepada semua pihak berkepentingan dalam SME Corp. Malaysia di atas sokongan dan sumbangan yang diberikan.
Ucapan terima kasih juga saya tujukan kepada Kementerian Pembangunan Usahawan dan Koperasi (KUSKOP) dalam memastikan kesinambungan kualiti perkhidmatan SME Corp. Malaysia serta Kementerian dan agensi lain, persatuan industri, dan rakan strategik, yang turut sama memainkan peranan penting bagi mengurangkan kesan COVID-19 yang telah melanda ke atas ekonomi Negara.
Kepada rakan sepasukan saya iaitu barisan Anggota Perbadanan, Pihak Pengurusan serta kakitangan SME Corp. Malaysia, tiada kata-kata yang dapat menggambarkan rasa hormat dan penghargaan saya kepada anda dalam usaha gigih anda untuk mengatasi cabaran yang kita hadapi sebagai satu pasukan - terima kasih.

Dato’ Sri Syed Hussien Al Habshee Pengerusi SME Corp. Malaysia 6 PERUTUSAN KETUA PEGAWAI EKSEKUTIF Pelbagai langkah diambil bagi kelangsungan perniagaan termasuk pelepasan hutang dan inisiatif kewangan.
Justeru itu, Pakej Rangsangan Ekonomi PRIHATIN dan Pelan Pemulihan PENJANA telah diperkenalkan bagi membantu PMKS menilai dan memikirkan semula kaedah perniagaan yang sejajar dengan norma baharu.

Tahun 2021 telah menyaksikan pemulihan yang kecil tetapi sangat ketara, yang mana ribut pandemik telah mula reda dan langkah bantuan khas yang dilaksanakan pada tahun 2020 bagi membantu PMKS membantu anjakan serta mengurangkan kekangan aliran tunai.
Sepintas lalu, bermula dari bulan Januari hingga Disember 2021, sejumlah RM120.9 juta dana telah diterima daripada pelbagai sumber dan sebanyak 644,905 PMKS telah mendapat manfaat daripada pelbagai inisiatif yang telah dijalankan oleh SME Corp. Malaysia.
Sejumlah RM163.6 juta dana telah dibelanjakan, di mana RM57.6 juta atau 35% dibelanjakan sebagai dana pembangunan 2021 dan baki RM28.1 juta atau 17% sebagai dana khas untuk program yang dilaksanakan dengan kerjasama Kementerian dan Agensi luar seperti Program Halal, Program Rel, Zonepreneur, Geran Usahawan Perak (GeRUP) dan Majlis Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan (MAIWP).

Selain itu, pencapaian program Pembangunan Utama 2021 menunjukkan bahawa capaian sebenar jauh melebihi jumlah yang disasarkan.
Sebagai contoh ialah program Penarafan dan Akreditasi PKS (SRA) telah mensasarkan 9,815 syarikat, manakala bilangan sebenar perniagaan Selama dua dekad yang lalu, SME Corp. Malaysia telah memberikan sokongan menyeluruh kepada Perusahaan Mikro, Kecil dan Sederhana (PMKS), yang menjadi tulang belakang ekonomi Malaysia.

Di antara inisiatif utama PMKS yang memfokuskan kepada automasi dan pendigitalan telah mendapat momentum semasa pandemik COVID-19 melanda.
SME CORP. MALAYSIA LAPORAN TAHUNAN 2021 PERUTUSAN KETUA PEGAWAI EKSEKUTIF 7 • Menjalankan projek rintis bagi Pusat Tindakan Kelestarian PKS (Action Centre for Sustainable SMEs - ACCESS) dengan kerjasama United Nations Global Compact Network Malaysia dan Brunei (UNGCMYB).

Matlamat utama SME Corp. Malaysia adalah mempersiapkan PMKS untuk menghadapi masa hadapan dan ianya hanya boleh dilaksanakan sekiranya tumpuan diberikan untuk menyesuaikan dan menerimapakai teknologi digital dan automasi.

Tahun ini ternyata merupakan tahun yang mencabar bagi PMKS dan dengan ini, saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada semua pihak di Kementerian Pembangunan Usahawan dan Koperasi (KUSKOP) serta rakan-rakan strategik yang turut bersama-sama SME Corp. Malaysia pada waktu yang genting ini.

82 Kisah Kejayaan FIRE FIGHTER Sdn.

Bhd.


Cik Michelle Hah merupakan salah seorang Pengarah Urusan Fire Fighter Sdn.

Bhd., amat menghargai hubungan kerjasama mereka dengan SME Corp. Malaysia dan agensi kerajaan sepanjang tempoh 12 tahun yang lalu.

Semuanya bermula apabila Firefighter Sdn.

Bhd., telah dianugerahkan pensijilan oleh SIRIM QAS International Sdn.

Bhd., sebuah badan pengujian, pemeriksaan dan pensijilan bertauliah di Malaysia.

Kejayaan ini membuka peluang kepada Fire Fighter Sdn.

Bhd.
Bhd.

memperolehi akses kepada pasaran yang lebih besar, di dalam dan di luar negara.

juga menyertai Persatuan Syarikat Jenama Malaysia yang membantu mereka mendedahkan potensi syarikat serta program Groom Big yang membuka banyak peluang untuk mengiklankan dan memasarkan produk melalui acara dan pameran yang disertai.

Pengauditan yang rapi dan ketat dalam proses pemilihan sebelum diberikan peluang menyertai mana-mana program ialah ciri-ciri yang dititik beratkan oleh syarikat.
ini Masih segar dalam ingatan Cik Hah satu pertemuan khusus kira-kira 10 tahun yang lalu bersama Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif SME Corp. Malaysia ketika itu, YBhg.

Datuk Hafsah Hashim yang mengunjungi reruai Fire Fighter Sdn.

Bhd.

semasa acara yang dijalankan di bawah agensi MATRADE.

Walaupun Datuk Hafsah kagum dengan produknya, beliau memberi pandangan yang bernas mengenai pembungkusan produk.

Hal ini memberikan kesedaran kepada Cik Hah berkenaan pentingnya peranan penjenamaan dan pembungkusan yang baik.
Fire Fighter Sdn.

Bhd.

kemudiannya memperoleh geran daripada SME Corp. Malaysia bagi mempertingkatkan mutu penampilan produknya.

Sebagai Pengarah Urusan wanita dalam industri yang didominasi oleh golongan lelaki, Cik Hah terpaksa menghadapi cabaran yang berganda.

Namun beliau berbangga kerana hasil dari bantuan dan sokongan daripada agensi kerajaan seperti SME Corp. Malaysia, Fire Fighter Sdn.

Bhd.
Bhd.

kini merupakan satu-satunya pengeluar alat pemadam api Malaysia yang mempunyai kedua-dua pensijilan ISO 9001 dan ISO 14001.

Bhd.

Palm Fiber Sdn.

Bhd.

telah ditubuhkan pada tahun 2014 bagi memfokuskan kepada bidang penyelidikan serta pembangunan hasil sampingan bagi sisa kelapa sawit.
Bahan utama yang digunakan ialah Batang Kelapa Sawit (OPT), yang dibakar sebelum penanaman semula, dimana bahan ini mengandungi jumlah serat makanan yang tinggi, sesuai untuk manusia dan haiwan.

Sebelum penubuhannya, banyak penyelidikan telah dilaksanakan terhadap gentian sawit, dengan kerjasama Prof. Dr. Ida Idayu dari UTM Skudai, sejak akhir tahun 1990-an.

Hasil kerjasama melalui penggunaan teknologi Jepun, terhasilah minuman tambahan kesihatan yang diberi nama EGT Fiber.
Pada tahun 2017, SME Corp. Malaysia telah memberikan bantuan serta khidmat nasihat kepada Palm Fiber Sdn.

Bhd.

dimana syarikat telah berjaya memperolehi penarafan 3 Bintang di bawah Program Penarafan Daya Saing PKS untuk Peningkatan (SCORE).

Bhd.


merupakan penerima Anugerah Enterprise 50 (E50) yang mengiktiraf 50 PKS yang berprestasi tinggi dan berdaya saing.

Syarikat berjaya muncul di dalam kedudukan 40 syarikat teratas, yang membuka peluang untuk mereka mengambil bahagian dalam sesi bengkel dan forum antarabangsa atas jemputan SME Corp. Malaysia.
Sesi padanan perniagaan yang dianjurkan oleh SME Corp. Malaysia seterusnya mewujudkan hubungan perniagaan serta interaksi dengan syarikat besar dan multinasional di seluruh dunia.

Pada tahun 2020, gangguan rantaian bekalan yang diakibatkan oleh pandemik COVID-19, menyebabkan Palm Fiber terpaksa menyesuaikan diri dengan perubahan bagi mengelakkan daripada terus mengalami kerugian.
Palm Fiber beralih daripada penghasilan minuman tambahan kesihatan kepada pembekalan bahan mentah OPT untuk pembeli yang berminat.

Strategi ini mengurangkan kebergantungan dan ancaman kepada persekitaran perniagaan yang tidak menentu semasa tempoh COVID-19.

Dengan ini Palm Fiber telah membuktikan bagaimana pemikiran yang kreatif berperanan dalam menentukan kejayaan sesebuah syarikat.

MSMEs comprise close to 97.4% of entities in Malaysia and possess the potential to be pivotal in the progress of this nation.

With this colossal potential comes their vulnerability too, as was witnessed in the rampage caused by COVID-19 on the economic landscape of Malaysia.

MSMEs are integral element to the economic progress of this nation and undoubtedly there are brighter days if we put our shoulders to the wheel and embrace the transformation that is necessary if we are to thrive again….
Insya-Allah we will succeed.

SME CORP. MALAYSIA ANNUAL REPORT 2021 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE 141 While the year 2020 will go down in history as the most disruptive year that the world has seen in the last 100 years, this year, with our country having transitioned to Phase 4 of the National Recovery Plan (NRP), and travel restrictions being lifted, the year 2021 will be the beginning of not only rebuilding and recovery, but also reviewing and resetting businesses.
Being resilient, agile and adaptive have become paramount in the survival of MSMEs in the pandemic period in Malaysia.

The role of SME Corp. Malaysia has never been more pertinent than now; as such, it is imperative that we be clear about the path forward.

The pandemic has compelled entrepreneurs to be aware of and reconcile with some inadequacies in the MSME ecosystem that may not have surfaced otherwise.
As the agency that has been mandated to spearhead the recovery and strengthen the development of the MSMEs, we must view this as an opportunity to review the existing support infrastructure and to transform the MSME landscape into one that makes them future-ready.

SME Corp. Malaysia is committed to prioritise the future preparation of the MSMEs through the ability to adapt to automation technology, digital transformation and innovation.
MSMEs show promising future as can be seen in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth of 1.0% as opposed to a negative 7.3% (-7.3%) in 2020.

MSMEs are integral element to the economic progress of this nation and undoubtedly there are brighter days if we put our shoulders to the wheel and embrace the transformation that is necessary if we are to thrive again….

Insya-Allah we will succeed.


I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to all the stakeholders of SME Corp. Malaysia for their support and contribution.
My gratitude goes to the Ministry of Entrepreneur and Cooperatives Development in ensuring (MECD) the continuity of our service quality, as well as to other Ministries and agencies, industry associations, and strategic partners, who have all in their capacity, played a significant part in mitigating the impact COVID-19 has had and still has on the economy.
Toward this end, SME Corp. Malaysia will continue supporting MSMEs in their respective paths forward through collaboration with various agencies, investing in access to programmes that focus on digitisation and automation, apart from providing financial assistance.

While the short-term relief is evident with financial assistance, the long-term sustainable recovery hinges on MSMEs transformation.
To my colleagues on board who are Members of the Corporation, the Management team, as well as the staff of SME Corp. Malaysia, words fail to describe the respect and appreciation I have for you in your relentless efforts to overcome the challenges we have faced as a team - thank you.

We are not out of the woods yet; while many are on the road to recovery, some are still struggling to sustain growth and face a fragile future.
The performance of Dato’ Sri Syed Hussien Al Habshee Chairman SME Corp. Malaysia 142 CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S MESSAGE Broad ranging measures including debt relief and funding initiatives rolled out at unprecedented speed as the top priority was to help protect and preserve lives and livelihoods of businesses.

This saw the introduction of the PRIHATIN Economic Stimulus Package and PENJANA Recovery Plan, as to helped MSMEs reassess and rethink the way business is conducted, in line with the new normal.
In the year 2021, we witness a small but significant recovery now that the pandemic storm has receded with the special relief measures put in place in 2020 to assist MSMEs which have gained some traction, alleviating the cash flow constraints many MSMEs faced.

At a glance, we will note that from the month of January to December 2021, a total fund of RM120.9 million was received from various sources and 644,905 MSMEs have benefited from the range of initiatives carried out by SME Corp. Malaysia.
A total fund of RM163.6 million was spent, with RM57.6 million or 35% was spent under the 2021 development fund and the remaining RM28.1 million for special funds implemented in collaboration with the Ministry and Agencies such as Halal Programme, Rail Programme, Zonepreneur, Geran Usahawan Perak (GeRUP) and Majlis Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan (MAIWP).

Achievements of Key Development programmes of 2021 will show that the actual reach far outnumbered what was targeted.
One instance For the past two decades, SME Corp Malaysia has been providing comprehensive support to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSMEs), catering to the range of businesses from the core which have been the backbone in the Malaysian economy.

Flagship initiatives focussing on automation and digitalisation were gaining momentum when the COVID-19 pandemic hits.
SME CORP. MALAYSIA ANNUAL REPORT 2021 CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S MESSAGE 143 would be the SME Rating & Accreditation (SRA) programme where targeted numbers were 9815 companies while the actual numbers of businesses rated were 14,051 companies.

This was the general trend for all the programmes which reflects the gaining demand by MSMEs to want to rebuild their businesses.
For year 2022, a total of 28 key programmes and activities will be carried out by SME Corp. Malaysia under the following six (6) focus areas: • Economics, Coordination and Facilitation; • Access to Markets; • Sectoral, Innovation and Digitalisation; • Access to Financing; • Bumiputera Development; and • Inclusive Development.
Focusing on the financial assistance, the following five (5) programmes in the form of grants and loans will be provided namely: • Business Accelerator Programme (BAP) 3.0; • Bumiputera Enterprise Enhancement (BEEP) 2.0; • Working Capital @ BAP; • SME Revitalisation Financing; and • SME Emergency Fund 2.0.
SME Corp. Malaysia will implement the following four (4) new initiatives in 2022, of which three (3) are mandates from Ministry of Entrepreneur and Cooperatives Development (MECD): • Publish a Corporate Governance Toolkit for MSMEs; • Conduct a study to appoint a Commissioner for payments to MSMEs in a timely manner and act as a mediator in resolving payment disputes; • Conduct a study on amendments to the Small and Medium Enterprises Corporation Malaysia Act (Act 539) to ensure the functions and roles of SME Corp. Malaysia are still relevant and can contribute to the increased development of MSMEs in Malaysia; and • Conduct a pilot project for the Action Centre for Sustainable SMEs (ACCESS) in collaboration with the United Nations Global Compact Network Malaysia and (UNGCMYB).
ACCESS provides Brunei ESG ratings, advisory services, capacity building as well as networking with large companies involved in the practice of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The main goal is to prepare MSMEs for the future and it can only be implemented if we focus on continuing to adapt and adopt digital technology and automation.
This year indeed has been a challenging year, thus, I would like to thank everyone at Ministry of Entrepreneur and Cooperatives Development (MECD) including the strategic partners that have been together with SME Corp. Malaysia at this trying times.

Not to mentioned, the Members of Corporation, Management as well as staff of SME Corp. Malaysia which intensifies the efforts to create a resilient and competitive MSMEs during this difficult times.
I sincerely hope that SME Corp. Malaysia continues to provide the best and quality service, gearing towards a progressive and developed nation for all.

SME CORP. MALAYSIA ANNUAL REPORT 2021 SUCCESS STORY 221 Success Story G&H CAKE HOUSE Sdn.

Bhd.
Bhd.

Starting from humble beginnings in 2008, G&H Cake House, which is primarily a family run bakery outlet, has grown in leaps and bounds in the last 24 years.

Initially working out from their home, the business took a serious turn when they bought a business premise shop lot and began operating there.

After stringent auditing processes, G&H Cake House obtained the HALAL & MeSTI certification in 2013.

Their products were primarily frozen layer cake, biscuits and pastries under the brand MyZiff Bakers.
Realising their potential to gain inroads into the local and overseas market, much effort and resources were channelled into production and packaging.

By 2015, MyZiff Bakers products were at LuLu Hypermarkets, as well as in other recognised supermarkets.

In 2019, G&H Cake House was awarded the BAP & BAP 2.0 grants, which is a collaborative financial assistance with SME Corp. Malaysia.
This provided the necessary boost to capacity building and exposure to the business and in November 2019, they were selected to have their presence at the FAMA Expo in Tokyo.

This was the beginning of recognition and success.

While the FAMA expo did not take place in 2020 due to the pandemic, FAMA brought samples of these cookies to the Food Exhibition in 2021 and it was here that the Oatmeal Cookies got the attention of SL Japan Co. Ltd, one of the biggest importers and wholesale food markets in Japan.
It is a well-known fact that the Japanese market is very discerning and selective about products that enter their country.

SL Japan sent their representative to G&H Cake House to view their production process and they were impressed and in October 2021, the first shipment was sent to Japan.

Since then, there have been repeat orders even through the pandemic period.

By this time G&H Cake House had grown from a home run 2- worker outfit to employing 12 workers and owning production machines.
MyZiff Bakers Oatmeal Cookies made their mark as being an all natural product – no preservatives and colouring, as well as being egg-free.

This caught the eye of distributors wanting presence in the vegetarian and vegan world.

In 2020, G&H Cake House was also approached with an offer to use their materials as a value added to a product (as an OEM).

Three (3) container loads of choco jars were exported to Brunei through UNIC Munif Hijjaz and there have been repeated orders since then.
Companies from Dubai, Oman and Saudi Arabia have shown keen interest in these products as well and hope to confirm orders in 2022.

It has been a journey of taking small steps, putting in effort, having belief in your product and assistance from agencies leading to successes.

We wish G&H Cake House more success in the future.


222 OUTCOME EVALUATION ON MSME DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES BY SME CORP. MALAYSIA UNDER RMKe-11 SME Corp. Malaysia is cognisant of the fact that MSMEs are a crucial component of Malaysia’s strategy to become a high-income nation.

While this strategy may have hit the pause button with the entire world coping with the turbulence and uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is now time to hit the reset button.
An online survey was conducted from 6 May 2021 to 12 July 2021 on MSMEs that had received financial assistance under the following ten (10) development expenditure (DE) programmes and completed their cycle of participation: i) HIP 2: Technology Commercialisation Platform (TCP); ii) HIP 3: SME Investment Partner (SIP); iii) HIP 4: Going Export (GoEx); iv) HIP 5: Catalyst Programme; v) HIP 6: Inclusive Innovation; vi) Business Accelerator Programme 2.0 (BAP 2.0); vii) Bumiputera Enterprise Enhancement Programme (BEEP); viii) Tunas Usahawan Belia Bumiputera (TUBE); ix) Galakan Eksport Bumiputera (GEB); and x) Micro Connector.
The survey was also extended to MSMEs that did not participate in SME Corp. Malaysia’s programmes.

Looking at the profile, a total of 1,200 MSMEs responded to the survey in which 83.1% (997) were beneficiaries and 16.9% (203) were non-beneficiaries of development programmes by SME Corp. Malaysia.

Microenterprises made up 58.4% of the total number of respondents, while 32.0% were small-sized firms and the remaining 9.6% were medium-sized firms.

This reinforces the key findings whereby 61.7% of the respondents cited that increase in sales revenue and profit was the primary benefit of the development programmes, hence further signifying the effectiveness of programmes by SME Corp. Malaysia.
Meanwhile, programme beneficiaries also indicated that the job creation factor was better.

A higher double-digit growth was recorded by beneficiaries compared to the non-beneficiaries, particularly for skilled and semi-skilled workers during the RMKe-11 period (2016-2020).

The growth of skilled and semi-skilled workers hired by the beneficiaries of MSME development programmes grew by 44.0% and 39.0% respectively, while hiring by the non-beneficiaries experienced a slower growth of 14.5% and 4.7%.
Overall, the beneficiaries of SME Corp. Malaysia’s programmes have cited that the programmes were beneficial for MSME business operations.

For the year 2021, total net assets recorded amounting to RM5.64 million have decreased by RM11.58 million (67%) compared to 2020 by RM17.23 million.

Of this amount, reserve SME Corp. Malaysia recorded a total of RM3.79 million which has decreased by RM11.58 million (75%) compared to RM15.38 million in 2020.
