Small good, Medium Better says Rafidah

Looks like our dear Rafidah Aziz is back in action after surviving the latest Cabinet reshuffle (which was incidentally more like a little nudge rather than a reshuffle if you ask me).

She is quoted in today's Business Times as saying that her ministry will give 'separate attention' to medium sized enterprises rather than small ones as the former are better positioned for the export market. Some of the goodies she promises for these medium-sized SMB/SMEs are market development and export promotion grants as well as tax incentives.

Smaller companies are still in the basic nurturing phase and as such would need assistance in entrepreneurship development, information technology adoption and book-keeping.

Sounds like good sense to me.
