KUCHING: The Wawasan Women Entrepreneurs Sarawak Association (Saranita) must work together to ensure that the association remains relevant.
According to Assistant Minister for Entrepreneur Development, Datuk Mohd Naroden Majais, the association’s progress and success depend a lot on the members to communicate and understand each other.
“It is not just about the formation of the association and annual general meetings but the mutual understanding and agreement among its members are important to ensure Saranita can become a platform which can benefit all its members and at the same time unite them,” said Naroden when officiating at Saranita 3rd annual general meeting (AGM) at 56 Hotel, Jalan Tun Jugah here, yesterday which was attended by more than 50 members. His text speech was read by Chief Assistant Secretary to the Ministry of Industrial and Entrepreneur Development, Trade and Investment (MIETI), Norjanah Razali.
Naroden added that Saranita also should continue to be active in their participation in various programmes organised in order to expose its members to business opportunities. He said all the programmes that have been participated in the past six years of Saranita formation have exposed the members to the entrepreneurship opportunities.
“It would also empower them to continue to strive for success and make themselves well known throughout the state,” said Naroden. He a l s o c ong r a tul a t e d Saranita’s icons who have carved their name nationally and internationally. “It is not easy for them to be well known at this level and only the best will make it,” he said.
Meanwhile, Saranita president, Jamilah Shukri urged the committee members to work harder to improve. She said since the formation of Saranita, there were a lot of things that still needed to be straightened in order for the association to move forward successfully.
“It is only six years and there are still a lot more need to be addressed to ensure that all of us can benefit from this association,” she said.
Apart from selecting new committee members, Saranita is also sharing a new business opportunity talk by speakers from Kuala Lumpur during its annual general meeting. Also present was Saranita deputy pres ident , Rahmah Ranong Abdullah.
