Najwan was met after he launched Hijrah’s 10th anniversary campaign — dubbed “10 Years of Excellence: Empowering Entrepreneurs” — at the Taman Putra Perdana Ramadan bazaar here yesterday.
He said the campaign commemorates a decade of the agency’s achievements as the pioneer in microcredit financing.
“This celebration in Sepang … is the first in a series, and it will continue until it reaches 10 editions in other districts throughout the year,” he said.
Najwan also distributed 500 Platform Selangor RM10 digital coupons to visitors at the market.
