Side Income Trend Drives Business Ecosystem At GM Klang

KUALA LUMPUR, May 29  -- The growing trend of side income ventures and digital businesses has transformed GM Klang from merely a wholesale shopping destination into a modern business hub that brings together an entrepreneurial community within a dynamic ecosystem. GM Klang said in a statement today that, with a combination of wholesale, retail and lifestyle elements, the wholesale centre continues to be the preferred choice for entrepreneurs to source stock, build business networks and expand their brands. In line with evolving business trends, it said more individuals are exploring small-scale business opportunities through e-commerce platforms while simultaneously operating physical stores. “What began as a source of supplementary income has seen many entrepreneurs successfully expand their businesses more seriously in tandem with changing business trends and current consumer purchasing behaviour,” the statement said. Meanwhile, HSQ Trading Sdn Bhd director Vincent Liew said he had previously been involved in various types of businesses, including dropshipping and online sales, before focusing on developing his own brand, “Dr. Flask”. Liew, who operates a tumbler business offering customised name and logo printing services, said digital platforms and social media now greatly help entrepreneurs grow their businesses more rapidly and flexibly. “Throughout my involvement in the business world, I have tried various business models before focusing on developing Dr. Flask. With the support of the business community at GM Klang, our business has continued to grow and we now operate several units here. “In my view, digital platforms and physical stores complement each other. Digital platforms help with marketing and keeping up with current trends, while physical stores are important in building customer confidence in the brand and products,” he said. Liew is among the local entrepreneurs who have grown alongside the business ecosystem at GM Klang. GM Klang remains optimistic about further strengthening its role as a modern business hub that not only meets trading needs, but also serves as a platform that creates more opportunities and networks for entrepreneurs and the new generation of businesses. -- BERNAMA

Driver Charged With Murder In Fatal Crash In Klang, Admits To Drug Use

KLANG, April 1 (Bernama) -- A car driver believed to have been under the influence of drugs has been charged in the Magistrate’s Court here today with murder over the death of a motorcyclist in a crash on Sunday. R. Saktygaanapathy, 28, was charged with causing the death of Amirul Hafiz Omar, 33, at Jalan Raya Barat, Klang, at 11.47 am on March 29. The charge, framed under Section 302 of the Penal Code, carries the death penalty or imprisonment of up to 40 years and, if not sentenced to death, a minimum of 12 strokes of the cane upon conviction. No plea was recorded from the accused after the charge was read out before Magistrate M. Khartiyayini, as murder cases fall under the jurisdiction of the High Court. In another charge at the same court, Saktygaanapathy pleaded guilty to self-administration of drugs believed to be benzodiazepine (Benzo) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) at the Narcotics Office of the South Klang District Police Headquarters (IPD) at 3.30 pm on the same day. He was charged under Section 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, which provides for a fine of up to RM5,000, imprisonment of up to two years, or both, and may include a supervision order of up to three years upon conviction. Deputy Public Prosecutor Raja Zaizul Faridah Raja Zaharudin did not offer bail, citing the seriousness of the murder charge. The accused was unrepresented. The court then set June 3 for mention of all cases and the submission of pathology reports. Earlier, the accused arrived at the Klang Court complex at about 8.50 am in handcuffs, escorted by police officers. Meanwhile, the victim’s wife, Nor Nadia Abdul Majid, 32, was present in court to follow the proceedings. In the incident last Sunday, South Klang police Chief ACP Lim Jit Huey said the victim was killed after being struck by a car allegedly driven at high speed and in a dangerous manner in a crash on Jalan Raya Barat.
