He was elected unopposed, signifying the overwhelming support for his leadership. This re-election comes after a successful year for SEA, marked by significant achievements in promoting entrepreneurship and supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Khalyd’s leadership has been instrumental in driving the association’s initiatives, including the establishment of the SEA Entrepreneurship Academy, the SEA Business Matching Platform, and the SEA SME Development Fund.

This statement reflects a commitment to the growth and empowerment of Sarawak entrepreneurs. It highlights the importance of creating a supportive ecosystem for businesses to thrive. The statement also emphasizes the need for accessible resources and a platform for entrepreneurs to voice their concerns and ideas.

He also voiced concerns regarding the recent implementation of e-invoicing in Malaysia. While acknowledging the potential benefits of digitalisation, such as improved efficiency and reduced administrative burdens, he highlighted the challenges that many small and medium enterprises (SMEs) face in adapting to the new system, particularly in terms of costs and accessibility. Nizam’s re-election marks the continuation of his efforts to drive the growth and success of Sarawak’s entrepreneurial community. During his previous term, SEA has made significant strides in fostering collaboration among entrepreneurs, providing valuable training opportunities, and advocating for policy changes that benefit local businesses. The association remains a crucial platform for entrepreneurs across the state, providing support, networking opportunities, and advocacy for local business interests and is is well-positioned to continue playing a key role in shaping the future of entrepreneurship in Sarawak.
