Kota Kinabalu: The UDA Carnival 2023, organised by UDA Holdings Bhd, can be a platform to improve the people’s standard of living, including empowering local entrepreneurs, said Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister Datuk Ewon Benedick.
He said this is evident from two main programmes featured at the carnival, namely the Ushaniaga Entrepreneur Programme and UDA Ria Property Campaign, which are in line with the company’s functions and role in shaping and modernising major cities in Malaysia.

Some 100 Sabah entrepreneurs are participating in the three-day carnival ending today (Sunday), which is targeted to generate RM2 million in sales.
The UDA Carnival will be organised next in Perak next month. The previous carnivals in Johor and Penang saw the participation of nearly 300 entrepreneurs and achieved RM5.5 million in sales.
Ewon expressed optimism that UDA would achieve its target of attracting a total of 500 entrepreneurs and hitting a sales value of RM10 million for the four locations of the carnival.
