摘要:Right from 1970s, the Malaysian government has employed several initiatives with huge allocations expended towards supporting and creating a robust Bumiputra entrepreneurs community that is competitively competent to face the market and thus stimulate economic growth. However, studies showed that government privileges and assistance did little in building the entrepreneurial culture, competitiveness and achievement of the Bumiputras, as critics kept criticizing the effectiveness of the support. Hence, this study aims to dig out to ascertain the extent to which the supports given by the government to the Bumiputra entrepreneurs has been fruitful and also determine the effectiveness of the support programs. The study employs a qualitative approach by conducting a semi structured interview with executive members of some entrepreneurship agencies in Malaysia.
