SUBANG JAYA, April 8 — Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari said the Selangor Platform (Plats) 3.0 is aiming to get 10,000 entrepreneurs to join the platform this year.
He said the implementation of Plats 3.0 makes it easier for entrepreneurs to register their businesses.
"Plats 3.0 was continued to aid traders to transform their businesses and not compete with other services. Its effectiveness is clear as it began with 163 traders but today has over 7,000 micro-entrepreneurs registered under it.
"The programme is not only seasonal but continuous in cooperation with Rakan Digital Selangor (RDS) that will help traders use e-trade platforms to run their businesses," Amirudin said.

Plats 3.0’s implementation also involves the cooperation of 12 local authorities in helping to expedite the participation of traders and entrepreneurs.
The platform was introduced during Ramadan two years ago to complete the Selangor Digitalisation Agenda ecosystem involving entrepreneurs through a single digital platform.
On April 11 last year, Plats 2.0 was launched to aid traders generate income full-time rather than being limited to the fasting month only.
