Perusahaan bersaiz mikro, kecil, sederhana mahupun koperasi besar, semuanya telah mengharungi tahun 2022 yang mencabar. Namun, di awal tahun 2023, lebih banyak peluang dan nilai tambah yang diperolehi oleh usahawan tempatan. Prestasi ekonomi Malaysia pada tahun 2023 dijangka menunjukkan pertumbuhan yang positif walaupun Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar (KDNK) berkembang dengan kadar yang sederhana sebanyak 4-5% seperti yang telah diunjurkan oleh Kementerian Kewangan Malaysia.
Persekitaran ekonomi Malaysia yang pelbagai dan berdaya saing menjadi kelebihan kepada negara untuk kekal teguh dan kurang terkesan dengan impak pertumbuhan ekonomi global yang perlahan. Untuk mengharungi ekonomi yang mencabar, usahawan-usahawan di Malaysia, khususnya Perusahaan Mikro, Kecil dan Sederhana (PMKS), digalakkan merangka strategi perniagaan yang efektif dan pengurusan kewangan yang cekap.
Terdapat banyak strategi perniagaan yang diperkenalkan oleh ahli ekonomi dan pakar perniagaan yang boleh diamalkan oleh para usahawan PMKS di Malaysia. Strategi perniagaan yang diatur rapi mampu membantu usahawan menangkis halangan dan cabaran yang mendatang lebih-lebih lagi pada waktu ketidaktentuan ekonomi global. Berikut merupakan strategi atau langkah-langkah yang boleh diambil:
Pendek kata, apa jua strategi perniagaan yang diatur perlu mengambil kira beberapa aspek. Ini termasuk dari segi pelaksanaan dan juga impaknya kepada perniagaan agar perniagaan yang dijalankan mampu mengharungi cabaran yang mendatang. Perkara ini selari dengan kata-kata yang pernah diungkapkan oleh seorang karyawan Amerika Syarikat, William J. Siegel, iaitu, “Manusia tidak merancang untuk gagal, mereka gagal untuk merancang.”
Oleh itu, para usahawan, khususnya PMKS, sewajarnya perlu lebih teliti dan berfikir panjang ketika hendak membuat keputusan lebih-lebih lagi melibatkan kepentingan perniagaan. Jika tidak, ia akan menimbulkan pelbagai masalah seperti masalah kewangan yang berpanjangan.

The world we live in is increasingly complex, especially for the youths, and they will eventually need to take charge of their future and finances. Financial education in the tertiary stage is for those between the ages of 18 to 25 currently pursuing post-secondary education. Providing them with the appropriate financial know-how at this point will build up their competence in dealing with future financial decisions. This module focuses on cash flow management, the importance of savings and setting up a budget, internet banking and other appropriate topics for university and college students.
This stage comprises those between the ages of 20 to 30, i.e. mainly those who are just starting out in life. Financial education is essential to this age group as they learn to be independent in most matters especially financial management. In their minds, a car is a want rather than a need, and normally sits at the top of their list of things to acquire. Our Entering Workforce module focuses on understanding the fundamentals of borrowing and the importance of borrowing productively to encourage positive net worth. Financial education at this stage is also aimed at inculcating the habit of managing debts wisely. The module also introduces the fundamentals of investments and the importance of insurance for a better tomorrow.
The module for the next life stage is for those who are starting and raising a family. People in this category are approaching that time in their life when they will normally experience important and meaningful life’s milestones: marriage, children and a new home. Designed for those between 30 to 40 years of age, this module will focus on settling unproductive loans while reducing debt commitments as they prepare for retirement. Emphasis will again be placed on the importance of planning for and protecting against uncertainties by talking about the types of financial tools available. They will learn the various types of insurance policies and be able to decide on the best coverage based on their affordability for their precious family. Education will also be given on the appropriate investments that will provide passive income for a better tomorrow.
The transition from working to retiring involves many tough decisions regarding income and lifestyle needs and whether one plans to ease into retirement or otherwise, while considering factors such as wealth management, whether a pension is enjoyed, and EPF balances. These are big decisions with long-term impact on their financial well-being during retirement. To make the best choices, they require sufficient knowledge and intense awareness of how they want to live through their retirement years. Therefore, our pre-retirement module will prepare them for retirement by teaching them the proper use of their investments and review of their portfolio while servicing their insurance policies and settling unproductive debts to improve their net worth positively.
You have retired. How would you manage your money now? Considering that the average life expectancy in Malaysia has improved, it is more important now than ever to ensure that you have the financial resources to live a comfortable and happy lifestyle—particularly if you are looking forward to retiring with peace of mind. Taking care of your wealth and making it last are important at this stage. Financial literacy and education is a continuous life lesson that does not end at retirement. Now, more than ever, you need to manage your finances wisely and plan for the unexpected. Our post-retirement module is focused on those who are currently transitioning into retirement or are in the early stages of retirement.
