Abstract: Recognising the importance of the growth of SMEs to the company, the Malaysian government outlined various strategies in the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP) and the Third Industrial Master Plan (IMP3) to ensure the development of SMe especially in the manufacturing and distributive trade sector. Under the 9MP, the government allocated nearly RM2 billion for the distributive trade sector (this includes SMEs) and more than RM2 billion was allocated to develop SMEs in the manufacturing sector. A major part of the allocation outlined in 9MP was to help SMEs acquire business, management and information technology skills to ensure their growth in both these sectors.
