The ‘Chor & Chah’ Mini-Drama Series is a business guide in the form of a drama which is made available online via YouTube. This initiative was in line with efforts to hype-up SME development activities in the year 2017, which was declared as the ‘Startup and SME Promotion Year’.

This 12-episode mini-drama series is a communication platform aimed to assist the Government in disseminating relevant and useful information related to operating business effectively; as a guide to entrepreneurs, in particular microenterprises, as to help them develop and expand their businesses.

The production of this drama is in tandem with the Government’s aim of encouraging Malaysians, in particular the youths and bottom 40% of the income pyramid (B40), to venture into entrepreneurship as a main career option.

‘Chor & Chah’ highlights the journey of a young entrepreneur who has just started his business. This drama is produced by SME Corp. Malaysia and Suhan Movies; featuring actors such as Saharul Ridzuan, Ummi Nazeera, Ruhainies, Hafreez Adam, Afifah Nasir, Kazar and Haleeda. Season One began airing on 1 August 2017, three times a week via ‘Chor & Chah’ official YouTube channel.

Due to the positive response from the public to ‘Chor & Chah’ Season One, SME Corp. Malaysia continued to produce ‘Chor & Chah’ Season Two which was aired in October 2017. Season Two of this mini-drama series focused on assistances for business expansion and export incentives available for entrepreneurs.
