Johor has opened its very own handicraft centre, named 'Ole-ole Johor'. The flagship outlet at Kompleks Kraf Johor, Jalan Cenderasari, Larkin, here offers myriad Johorean handmade handicrafts. State Tourism, Domestic Trade and Consumerism Committee chairman Datuk Tee Siew Kiong said the handicraft centre features authentic items at affordable prices.
"This is an added feature which will complement the tourism sector in the state. It is also part of our state tourism marketing plan for this year," he said during the centre’s launch today. Tee said the RM500,000 project is a smart partnership involving the state government and Johor handicraft manufacturers, adding that similar outlets will be opened in the future at tourist spots state-wide.
Among products sold at Ole-Ole Johor is merchandise commemorating the Sultan of Johor's Coronation last year. "Ole-ole Johor will also be a centre where tourists can obtain information on local products and tourist destinations.
Brochures and the state's tourism bulletin, Xplore Johor, are available at the centre," Tee said. Ole-ole Johor is open between 10am to 6pm, daily. Admission is free. For more information on the centre, or about Johor tourism, visit www.tourismjohor.com

JOHOR BARU: Net Consult Training Academy and MRR Consultants & Training Centre (MRRCTC) are offering a Creative Entrepreneur Business Management certificate course to help single mothers and the unemployed learn how to do business.
The academy's managing director Anuar Nordin, said the course was open to the state's residents.
He said the four-month course consisted of 12 modules.
He said participants had to pay a RM350 fee to enrol in the course.
"After they have completed the course, a certificate will be given to them by MRRCTC and the Oxford Centre for Excellence, United Kingdom," he said at the Creative Entrepreneurs Icon Convocation pre-launch at The Zon, here.
He said the 12 modules included lessons on personal image, self grooming, communication, marketing, financial management, promotion and resources management.
"A total of 25 participants from Johor attended the programme.
"They were among the 50 participants nationwide who attended the Creative Entrepreneur Icon programme."
Anuar said throughout the programme, the target group would be educated on how to increase their income by doing business.
"They were also taught how to do business online to minimise the advertising cost," he said.
Shahrida Yusof, 40, who completed the course, said: "I participated in the programme since April and the courses helped me to gain more knowledge on business. I am now running a chicken rice stall."
She said the course consisted of 20 per cent theory and 80 per cent practical training.
"I was taught how to deal directly with suppliers, manufacturers and wholesalers.
"I was also taught about packaging.
"During my practical training, the instructors would observe how I conducted the business," she added
