He said: “We want to sensitise business owners and encourage entrepreneurs to not just establish companies for fun but to have a lot of responsibilities for sustainability. We want to collaborate with these organisations to empower them for survival, to promote its prosperity, and we are going to do this through training, workshops, and empowerment initiatives which we would unveil as we move on.”
