IPOH: Selling nasi lemak over the Internet? Don't laugh, it is a viable business.

In encouraging women to be more IT-savvy, Deputy Entrepreneurial and Co-operative Development Minister Datuk Khamsiyah Yeop said housewives should keep up with the trends in information technology so that they could be successful in what they do best.

Citing the example of a woman in Klang who was now a successful franchiser in the nasi lemak business, she said the entrepreneur began by selling the food from a stall.

But after watching her son surf the Internet, she became interested in IT, Khamsiyah said.

“She took the opportunity to learn and began marketing her nasi lemak via the Internet and making home deliveries,” she said yesterday when opening a seminar on “Women in ICT” at the Perak ICT Week 2005 at the Perak Techno Trade Centre in Bandar Meru Raya here.

Khamsiyah said the entrepreneur could continue working at home and look after her family as well because she was IT-savvy.

“Women must be quick to pick up the use of ICT so that they can balance their roles as mother and income contributor to the family,” she said.

Khamsiyah said the Government had a fund for women who had the potential of making their businesses grow.
