Wholesale and RetailDeveloping Pasar Komuniti
The next Entry Point Project looks to transform various markets such as “pasar tani”, “pasar malam” and “pasar tamu” and consolidate them into one, to be called “Pasar Komuniti”. This is because the traders from each of these were encountering challenges such as lack of suitable and strategic locations, and proper infrastructure and logistic facilities. Led by the Federal Agriculture Marketing Authority (FAMA), the Pasar Komuniti initiative (PAKAR) is a concerted effort to co-ordinate and amalgamate them in location with better facilities.

I believe the government is going on the right track to improve the investment environment in order to boost the local economy.If they can keep on this way,the success will not be far away!
