Soft Loan Scheme For Services Capacity Development (SLSCD)
The SLSCD was launched in April 2009 by the Government of Malaysia under the Services Sector Capacity Development Fund of the First Economic Stimulus Package to assist companies and enterprises to undertake upgrading and modernisation for diversifying into higher value-added activities, and improving the productivity and efficiency of service delivery.
It addresses the impact of liberalisation on local services providers by providing financial assistance to the services sectors to build up its capacity in order to withstand competition due to the opening up of markets as well as to strengthen international competitiveness.
