Bandar seri begawan: Discussions have been underway regarding the introduction of a new concept for stall sites and a study on the hiring of foreign workers. The new stall site concept aims to be more organised, attractive, and friendly to small entrepreneurs, which is expected to enhance both management and facilities for these businesses.
According to Radio Television Brunei, initiatives such as the "1 Kampung 1 Produk" (1K1P) and Village Shops require ongoing support to achieve more substantial growth. These programs are vital in promoting community-based economic activities and empowering local entrepreneurs.
Additionally, the importance of programs that assist former inmates in reintegrating into society after their release was highlighted. Such initiatives are crucial to ensuring they can build a stable life post-detention.
Another significant focus is a study on the recruitment of foreign workers. The study aims to assess the potential for positions currently filled by foreign workers to be occupied by local residents, thereby addressing employment opportunities for the local workforce.
