adoption such as cashless payments, e-commerce platforms and online marketing has further strengthened competitiveness in an increasingly digital economy. Equally important, transformational leadership among Cooperative Board Members (ALK) has set clear direction, with more proactive strategies, stronger community engagement and a focus on developing students into the leaders of tomorrow. Beyond economic success, school cooperatives are shaping education and human capital development. Students actively involved in cooperative activities gain first-hand experience in financial management and business decision-making while being nurtured in values of trust, accountability and teamwork. School cooperatives therefore act as real-life training grounds to produce financially literate, competitive individuals ready to face life beyond the classroom. Looking ahead to 2026, the school cooperative movement aims to transition toward becoming “smart cooperatives” with several strategic goals. These include doubling the number of RM1 million revenue cooperatives to at least 50 by 2030, increasing those reaching RM2 million, accelerating digital transformation through e-cooperative platforms and e-wallet applications and
strengthening contributions to Malaysia’s national economy. The ability of school cooperatives in Malaysia to generate multi-million-ringgit revenues demonstrates their potential to expand internationally. With over 2,508 cooperatives and more than 2 million members, they are not only contributors to domestic economic development but also poised to serve as a reference model for ASEAN and the wider world. Through stronger global cooperative networks, student entrepreneurship exchange programs and alignment with the principles of the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA), Malaysian school cooperatives can expand markets, introduce sustainable digital business innovations and position themselves as pioneers of globally competitive youth. In summary, Malaysia’s school cooperatives are firmly on track to continue contributing to the country’s socio-economic development. With millions in revenue, the involvement of over two million members and aspirations of becoming smart cooperatives, they not only reinforce Malaysia’s position in the global cooperative movement but also act as catalysts in shaping resilient, entrepreneurial and future-ready generations.
