How the Clicks@Perak Platform Empowers Micro-Entrepreneurs in Perak

prepared by clicks@perak on 1st Sept 2025

Introduction

Micro-entrepreneurs play a vital role in driving the state’s economic growth, particularly in Perak. However, many still struggle with challenges such as limited access to technology, modern payment systems, and the difficulties of expanding their business networks digitally.

The Clicks@Perak initiative was created to bridge this gap and open new opportunities for small businesses to thrive in today’s digital economy.

Who Are Micro-Entrepreneurs?

By general definition, and as adopted by the government, micro-entrepreneurs are small business owners who:

  • Operate alone or with only a handful of employees (usually fewer than 5 people)
  • Record annual sales of less than RM300,000
  • Run businesses that may be physical, online, or a combination of both
  • Typically operate in areas such as hawker stalls, small eateries, online sellers, home-to-home services, and rural enterprises

Clicks@Perak was designed specifically to support this group, often overlooked in mainstream digital transformation.

Connecting Micro-Entrepreneurs to State Incentives & Programs

Clicks@Perak acts as the official digital hub linking micro-entrepreneurs to various state government incentives. Key programs made accessible through the platform include:

  • Program Pemerkasaan Usahawan Digital Perak (PUDP)

  • Registration for subsidies and digitalization opportunities

  • Access to grant information and technical support

With a centralized platform, entrepreneurs no longer need to search through multiple different channels to find relevant assistance.

Perak Micro-Entrepreneur
Directory

Through Clicks@Perak, entrepreneurs can list their products and services for free in the Perak State Entrepreneur Directory. This directory serves as:

  • A central search hub for local products for consumers and investors

  • A promotional channel to increase brand visibility

  • A discovery platform for business collaboration and suppliers

This indirectly helps micro-entrepreneurs penetrate the digital marketplace, even without having their own website.

Digital Community & Entrepreneurial Ecosystem

Clicks@Perak turut memupuk rangkaian komuniti digital dalam kalangan usahawan negeri. Dengan bergabung dalam komuniti ini, usahawan boleh:

  • Interact and share experiences with fellow business owners
  • Discover new collaboration opportunities or business ventures
  • Stay updated on support programs and events

This builds solidarity among micro-entrepreneurs while encouraging inclusive growth.

Supporting the Digitalization of Small Businesses

Clicks@Perak helps businesses transition to digital operations through various initiatives, such as:

  • Registration and usage of payment terminals for physical stores
  • Encouraging the adoption of e-wallet systems to simplify transactions
  • Promoting integrated payment systems such as MiPAY Mastercard, online payment gateways, and e-wallets like Touch ’n Go, Boost, and MAE

With these tools, businesses can operate more efficiently, transparently, and securely in a cashless environment.

What Is Digital Payment?

Digital payment covers a variety of cashless, electronic transactions, including:

  • E-wallet
    Touch ’n Go eWallet, Boost, and MAE
  • Debit/credit cards
    processed through payment terminals
  • QR code transactions
  • Online payment gateways
    for e-commerce

Clicks@Perak plays a key role in ensuring more micro-entrepreneurs in Perak understand and are prepared to adopt these payment systems, a critical requirement in the modern economy.
