This is the 19' time the annual Hari Raya sale has been organised, and it is in line with the government's desire to see an increase in local involvement in trade and industry. The sale is a way of improving entrepreneurs' livelihood, though growth has often been hampered by the lack of expertise and knowledge in crucial areas like entrepreneurship, management, finance, marketing and technology.

However, local entrepreneurs need to increase their business knowledge to inject the much- needed commercial skills of business planning, marketing as well as product and brand development, which is vital towards successful operations of small and medium enterprises. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
