In the Panel on Commerce and Industry and ITB Panel, I

• Supported the Government to inject capitals into various funds, so as to benefit the enterprises of the tourism industry, especially MSMEs. The funds include the "Pilot Information Technology Development Matching Fund Scheme", with an additional of $30 million granted this year.
   
• Supported the "Technology Voucher Programme" to relax the application eligibility starting this financial year. While the upper limit of cumulative subsidy has doubled to $400,000, the limitation on use of the final $50,000 subsidy have also been lifted.
   
• It is hoped that the Government will enhance its support to the business sector, especially to the MSMEs, to empower them with ability in coping with the risk of cyber-attacks by hackers.
