HULU TERENGGANU: After suffering in silence for 16 years from an abusive husband, Norhamiza Mohd Nor decided to leave her marriage and fend for her four children on her own. Norhamiza’s Ismadu Enterprise in Kampung Pasir Gajah, Kemaman is much sought after by consumers looking to purchase madu kelulut, which is known for its nutritious properties. Sultan Mizan Royal Foundation board of trustee member Datuk Mohd Fadzil Yusof said that they would monitor the progress of the participants and send industrious ones for advanced courses to further improve their entrepreneurial skills. “By doing so, we hope to encourage these poor and less fortunate women to be successful entrepreneurs who can stand on their own feet,” he said. “We hope to continue with such entrepreneurial programmes by selecting 30 women each year for the madu kelulut or mushroom business,” said Fadzil.
