Lazada Malaysia applauds the government’s continuous efforts in improving Malaysia’s eCommerce industry, especially with the allocation of RM 83.5 million ringgit for the first phase of the Digital Free Trade Zone (DFTZ) at KLIA. This is expected to further spur the growth of local Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and attract investments worth up to RM 700 million.

“As the number one online shopping and selling destination in Malaysia, we are committed in supporting our local SMEs and helping them build their eCommerce businesses. Through our #EveryoneCanSell programme, sellers will enjoy full access to eCommerce training, easier business registration, enhanced internet connectivity with online tools and solutions, as well as financial support through loan financing and exclusive merchant accounts. We hope to boost SMEs’ capabilities when they capitalise on #EveryoneCanSell’s holistic digital ecosystem, so they remain competitive online,” said Hans-Peter Ressel, Chief Executive Officer, Lazada Malaysia

He added that Budget 2018 not only underlines eCommerce as a primary driver towards Malaysia becoming a fully developed digital economy, but also digitalise the country as a whole in preparation for the coming Fourth Industrial Revolution.
