NEW e-commerce platforms are being introduced to facilitate the selling and buying of essential items during Ramadan, especially at this time of the Movement Control Order (MCO).
My E. G. Services Bhd (MYEG) has introduced the online platform “Nak Makan” under the Ramadan Bazaar concept to help food vendors and entrepreneurs to market their food and products.
The company, in a statement, said the first phase of ‘Nak Makan’ would involve Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Selangor.
‘’The vendors can operate from their own premises and their ‘Nak Makan’ delivery partner, namely, MrSpeedy, would make the collections and deliveries to the customers,’’ said the statement.
Vendors could participate by registering their business details at www.nakmakan.com.my or by contacting 03-7664 8100 or 017-228 5948/5954/5958/5983.
According to MYEG, the e-sahur and e-raya facilities were being drafted for the second and third phases of the platform.
Meanwhile, the Malaysian Handicraft Development Corporation has introduced the E-Kraf Bazar using Facebook to assist craft entrepreneurs who were impacted by the Covid-19 outbreak.
The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC), in a statement, said the initiative would facilitate the consumers in seeking their items of need during the MCO, in addition to making preparations for upcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Tadau Kaamatan Harvest and Gawai Dayak festivals.
The statement mentioned that over 700 entrepreneurs with 2.3 million followers were expected to participate in the E-Kraf Bazar which would be marketing handicraft products such as textile, forest products and ceramic ware. — April 15, 2020, Bernama
