Digital Ministry seeks Budget 2027 incentives to cut cost of digital tools for small traders

The Digital Ministry has proposed initiatives for Budget 2027 to make digital tools more accessible to small traders, according to Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo.

Presented to the Finance Ministry, the proposals emphasize incentivizing cost reductions to boost technology adoption and ensure tangible benefits for businesses.

While specific details were not disclosed, the focus remains on widespread technology usage, with decisions to be announced by the Finance Ministry or the Prime Minister during the budget presentation on October 9.

GEORGE TOWN, Sept 10 — The Digital Ministry has proposed incentives under Budget 2027 to make digital tools more affordable and encourage their adoption among small traders, Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo said today.

He said the proposals were presented during a meeting with Finance Ministry officials two weeks ago as part of the government’s Budget engagement process.

“Our proposals largely focus on ensuring that technology capable of helping small traders does not merely exist, but is widely used so that its benefits can be felt,” he told reporters after the launch of a photography and art exhibition, Scars of War, at the Lin Xiang Xiong Art Gallery here.

“The government may need to consider providing incentives to reduce the cost of these tools and related expenses,” he added.

Gobind said the priority was to increase technology adoption and ensure it delivered a tangible impact to businesses and others who needed it.

“I have submitted many proposals, but it is better not to give the details one by one,” he said.

“Let the Finance Ministry make its decision and the prime minister announce it during or before the Budget,” he said.

Budget 2027 is scheduled to be tabled in Parliament on October 9.
