Securiforce executive chairman Datuk Dr Maznah Hamid said the abolishing of the ministry led to several other ministries absorbing the duties but "clear and coherent organisational skills were lacking".
"I have been running entrepreneurial workshops on a weekly and monthly basis since 2009.
"And these workshops have shown that it is difficult to get things done as the departments dealing with entrepreneurial matters are handled by several ministries," she said in the wake of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's upcoming cabinet line-up.
Maznah, who has been running her security company for over 30 years, said budding entrepreneurs needed a proper platform and this was possible with the reinstatement of the ministry.
"Agencies such as PNS (Perbadanan Nasional Berhad) and Tekun (Entrepreneur Group Economic Fund) can be better managed if they are placed under one single ministry.
"This will also mean less operational costs for the ministry," she said here yesterday.
