NKEA: Wholesale and Retail Minister’s Message
The ETP has undoubtedly improved the quality of life for all segments of
society. As one of the NKEA under the ETP, the Wholesale and Retail NKEA
has outlined initiatives as big as building 1Malaysia Malls abroad with an
estimated Gross Development Value (GDV) of RM4.5 billion and the iconic
Mines Wellness City valued at RM3.2 billion to ones as small as providing
a RM60,000 soft loan to traditional sundry shop owners to assist them in
modernising their business.
The Ministry is committed to achieving its Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) this
year. To date, we have successfully helped transform 519 sundry shops under the
TUKAR programme and 55 automotive workshops under the ATOM (Automotive
Modernisation) programme. Under the large growth EPPs, we have envisaged
seven new hypermarkets and 13 superstores across the nation. Additionally, for
the period of January to December 2011, the implementation of the Duty Free
EPP has shown an increase in the value of Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF) by 64
per cent in comparison to the same period in 2010.
We have also identified 20 sites to build shared infrastructure for pasar tani,
pasar malam and pasar tamu retailers nationwide which will be completed
in 2012. For the first time in 2011, the 1Malaysia Unified Sale was introduced
whereby 50 subsectors of the economy, including the services sector
participated during the 1Malaysia Mega Sale Carnival, increasing the total
spending during to RM21.5 billion.
This transformation journey has only just started but we at the Ministry can
already feel the impact of the initiatives that have been implemented. I wish to
extend my gratitude to PEMANDU and my Ministry officials. I look forward to our
projects in the years to come.
