Improve entrepreneurial skills, housewives advised

BETONG: Women, especially housewives, are advised to take up courses or classes that can improve their skills. Batang Lupar MP Datuk Seri Rohani Abdul Karim said among the courses that women could take up were cooking and making kuih-muih.

“There is a lot of knowledge that can be gained from such courses to generate income.

“Among the benefits is that they do not have to rent a business premises and can cook or make kuih from home,” she said.

She said this while officiating at the Bun and Pizza Making Course organised by the Sarawak Women’s Association (PPWS) Hulu Beladin Branch at Kampung Beladin Community Hall recently.

She added that kuih-muih or dishes could be promoted and sold via social media as most entrepreneurs do today. She said housewives now could generate income from home without leaving behind their children who still needed their full attention. Besides cooking courses, housewives could also participate in other courses such as massage, beauty, sewing and others, she said. According to Rohani, the housewives could venture into various fields to boost their family’s income. A total of 100 women from the Beladin area took part in the course.
