With Malaysia’s Budget 2026 freshly tabled, many SMEs and mid-tier companies are parsing through the fine print to understand what the government’s promises of reform and inclusion actually mean for them.

We speak with Datuk William Ng, National President of the Small and Medium Enterprises Association (SAMENTA), to discuss what’s in Budget 2026 for SMEs — from financing access and compliance pressures to digital readiness and export potential. Does this “Rakyat’s Budget” truly deliver on its promise to strengthen Malaysia’s small-business backbone, or are entrepreneurs still waiting for deeper, structural support?
