Shopee Online Selling Course Draws Participants At PMK Tualang Sekah

BATU GAJAH, Nov 15 (Bernama) -- An online selling course conducted through Shopee attracted about 200 participants at the MADANI Kita Programme (PMK) Tualang Sekah@Kampar, reflecting growing public interest in digital business opportunities.

State Communications, Multimedia and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) Committee chairman Mohd Azlan Helmi said the programme also attracted about 2,800 visitors, exceeding its initial target of 1,000 people from the Kampar parliamentary constituency and surrounding areas.

He said other activities also received encouraging responses, including an Al-Quran exchange programme involving nearly 60 participants and dental check-ups that drew a steady stream of visitors.

"I was surprised by the response to the online selling course organised by Shopee. About 200 participants attended to learn how to sell products through the platform," he told Bernama after officiating the programme at the Kampung Baru Chenderong Community Hall here today.

Azlan said the participation of Malay, Chinese, Indian and Orang Asli communities reflected the programme's ability to reach out to people from different backgrounds.

"The participation of the Orang Asli community means that we have been able to engage people from all communities in our multiracial society," he said.

In his speech, he said PMK provided an opportunity for the public to obtain information and access government services directly, while also serving as a platform for two-way communication between the government and local communities.

He said feedback and issues raised by residents would be channelled to the relevant agencies for appropriate action.

"I will continue to pay attention to the needs of the community and ensure that communication between the people and the government remains open," he said.

The programme was organised by the Community Communications Department (J-KOM), Communications Ministry, in collaboration with the Performance Acceleration Coordination Unit (PACU), Prime Minister's Department.

A total of 35 government agencies participated, offering services including Unclaimed Money checks, National Registration Department services, tax-related matters, eKasih checks and welfare assistance.
