'MyVeteranMall' offers digital entrepreneurship opportunity to 300,000 MAF veterans - Ikmal Hisham

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) Veterans Affairs Department today launched the 'MyVeteranMall' application, offering 300,000 of its members the opportunity to venture into digital entrepreneurship.

Deputy Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ikmal Hisham Abdul Aziz said the initiative was timely, and could help the members promote products, sell and make purchases through the launch of the virtual mall.

"MAF veterans can use this digital platform to explore the potential of digital technology, such as e-Activity, e-Commerce, e-Survey, and the facility can help bridge the digital divide among MAF veterans.

"I hope this initiative will benefit all parties involved, especially the families of MAF veterans," he said during the launch of the application here today.

Also present were Chief of Defence Force Gen Tan Sri Affendi Buang and Army chief Gen Tan Sri Zamrose Mohd Zain.

Ikmal Hashim said that at present, access to the application which was developed by MIDC Teknologi, was limited to MAF veterans, and 505 members had begun offering their products via the application.
