Indians Towards Entrepreneurship



"Education and training, play an important role in helping people start or transit between careers by providing the tools they need to take on a career. This seminar is the fist of many, which is aimed at providing all of you the opportunity to learn from the presenters and from each other of the options that are available to you"

Saturday 22nd November, Annex Complex, Bangunan SSAAS, Shah Alam -
Dr A. Xavier Jayakumar, Selangor State EXCO, said the above when he was officiating the Indians towards Entrepreneurship Seminar, jointly organised by the State Government and Malaysian Indian Business Association (MIBA), that was attended by over 250 youth and entrepreneurs from the Klang Valley.

The one-day Seminar was
aimed at boosting the entrepreneurial skills and knowledge of Indian entrepreneurs in the State.

Dr Xavier also said that Pakatan Rakyat must be given the time to alter the mindset of the Government agencies and the GLCs, because they have been subjected to 50 years of BN-policies and tactics.


He also went on to add that he was very concerned for the welfare and economic survival of the growing number of Indian single mothers in Selangor(by defintion : single/abandoned mothers with school-going children).

He ended on a note of caution that all businessmen must brace themselves for the global economic slowdown/crisis that will soon affect Malaysia as well. With that said he hoped all the young people there today, would make full use of this opportunity to learn as much as possible and ask as many questions as they needed to.

EXCO Kesihatan, Pekerja Ladang, Kemiskinan & Kerajaan Prihatin Negeri Selangor dan Malaysia Indian Business Association (MIBA) telah menganjorkan satu seminar keusahawanan kepada lebih 250 orang belia-belia dan usahawan India hari Ini.

Seminar sehari ini diadakan di bangunan Annex, Bangunan SSAAS, S.U.K Shah Alam dan telah dirasmikan oleh Dr. Xavier Jayakumar EXCO Negeri Selangor. Dalam ucapan alu-aluannya Dr. Xavier menyeru belia dan bakal-bakal usahawan India agar merebut peluang dari segi perniagaan di negeri Selangor. Katanya kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat Negeri Selangor berusaha untuk membantu masyarakat India Negeri Selangor untuk menaikan taraf hidup mereka dalam bidang perniagaan.

Katanya Pakatan Rakyat perlu diberi masa untuk mengujudkan peluang-peluang perniagaan kepada masyarakat India kerana ianya memerlukan masa untuk mengubah 'mindset' agensi-agensi kerajaan dan syarikat GLC milik kerajaan negeri kerana mereka telah 50 tahun mengunapakai sistem yang diamalkan oleh kerajaan sebelumnya.

Beliau juga berharap masyarakat India yang hanya mewakili 7% dari 25 juta penduduk negara ini dapat bekerja dan hidup secara harmoni di dalam masyarakat berbilang bangsa di negara ini. Beliau juga menyeru agar belia-belia yang hadir dapat menimba seberapa banyak pengetahuan dari seminar tersebut.

Beliau juga khuatir dengan nasib dan 'survival' ibu-ibu tunggal India yang semakin bertambah di negeri ini. Beliau juga bimbang tentang pertambahan kemiskinan bandar (urban poverty) yang dijangka semakin meningkat ekoran kejatuhan kewangan global kebelakangan ini dimana ramai dijangka dibuang kerja dalam dua tahun akan datang ini.
