Do Entrepreneurs need more help?

I refer to the article “More help for entrepreneurs on budget wish list: Feedback Unit” by Rita Zahara, Channel NewsAsia dated 18 Jan 2006. While surveying the ground for the entrepreneurs, I am wondering what the extent the government should be involved in helping entrepreneurship. In earlier articles, I have commended the setting up of a board to band the small-medium enterprises (SMEs) together. For all that matter, I always believe that the role of the government is to provide infrastructure for the entrepreneurs, not just by building a big research or science park and link a couple of buses. The signpost to various services (banking, legal and account auditing) are necessary and I believe that the board of SMEs can do exactly that.
