FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
15 AUGUST, 2011
11 MALAYSIANS GIVEN ENTREPRENEURSHIP LIFELINE
THROUGH “PROGRAM NIAGA MAKAN MINUM F&N”
Kuala Lumpur – Business opportunities are hard to come by for many within the rural
communities, but for the 11 Malaysians selected to venture into the world of food
services under the “Program Niaga Makan Minum F&N”, their perseverance and spirit
has placed them in good stead to pursue their entrepreneurship dreams.
Jointly organised by F&N Dairies’ Institut Teh Tarik and the Ministry of Rural and
Regional Development (KKLW), this pioneering rural entrepreneur development
programme is a worthy initiative aimed at empowering Malaysians to create a brighter
future for themselves.
Speaking at the official launch of the programme cum graduation of the pioneer batch of
F&N entrepreneurs, Mr. Poh Eng Lip, General Manager, Business Development and
Corporate Affairs, F&N Dairies (M) Sdn Bhd commended the candidates for rising to the
challenge of entrepreneurship as well as their effort, hard work and positive attitude in
aspiring to better themselves.
“I am proud to be associated with these 11 hopeful individuals who are eager and ready to
push ahead into the world of food services. It is truly a great feeling to have played a part
in helping them kick start their dreams of owning and running their own businesses,” Poh
said.

He also congratulated the graduates of the programme for not only getting through the
rigorous selection process but also for successfully completing a skills and management
workshop.
Successful candidates were required to go through an extensive training workshop that
provided all-round exposure in the fundamentals of entrepreneurship. From financial
planning and business concepts right down to basic methods of preparing and serving
their food and beverages to customers, candidates were given a thorough look into the
makings of a successful eatery. Naturally, they were also taught to a variety of dishes
using F&N Condensed and Evaporated milk and creamer products such as consumer
favourites nasi lemak, teh tarik and Three-layer Tea.
Armed with the knowledge, the participants also obtained essential infrastructure and
financial assistance to start their business. This includes stalls, push-carts and even low-
interest loan schemes to purchase mobile vans. F&N will continue to monitor their
progress and provide guidance towards the success of each venture.
“Through the program, we aim to guide and empower young aspiring entrepreneurs
who have shown greater inclination towards vocational training to seek out their
aspirations and create a brighter futures for themselves. In turn, we hope they will
remain loyal to the F&N brand and its products and years from now, when they look
back, they will recognise how much F&N has contributed towards enriching their lives
and that of their families as well,” he added.
Tengku Syed Badarudin Jamalullail, Chairman of Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd
presented the certificates of completion to the 11 F&N entrepreneurs who were the pride
of their families and friends while representatives from F&N and the Ministry of Rural
and Regional Development looked on.

The “Program Niaga Makan Minum F&N” began last December with a recruitment
drive which saw the participation of some 400 interested youths from Temerloh,
Kuantan, Batu Pahat and Muar. Following a series of thorough interviews, the current
11 enterprising candidates were selected and given the opportunity to steer their
aspirations to reality.
F&N Dairies (M) Sdn Bhd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fraser & Neave Holdings
Bhd and is a major manufacturer and marketer of sweetened condensed milk,
evaporated milk, pasteurised juices and milk in Malaysia.
