Making Government Business Support Materials and Resources Available in Chinese for SMEs and Micro-enterprises

Mr Lee Hong Chuang asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry whether the Ministry will consider expanding the availability of Government (i) business support materials (ii) grant application guides and (iii) SME portals, in Chinese, to ensure inclusivity for Chinese-speaking business owners, especially the traditional micro-enterprise.

Businesses can access materials such as brochures on small and medium enterprise (SME) support in Singapore’s four official languages, namely English, Malay, Mandarin and Tamil, on Enterprise Singapore's website. Businesses can also receive business advisory support in the official languages through the respective Singapore Malay, Chinese and Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
