Malaysia to be part of IR 4.0, says PM

BUSAN, Nov 25 — Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said the government intends to develop Malaysia to be part of the Fourth Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0) and use modern technology to its advantage.

Speaking at the ASEAN-South Korea Commemorative Summit here today, Dr Mahathir said among the most promising industries in Malaysia is Information Technology (IT) and new technologies.

“We may be behind many others but we intend to catch up.

“We need to educate from young where they are more familiar with the new values, the new strategy of doing things and new kinds of businesses,” he told a full house session moderated by Yoon Sung Woon of Bain and Company.

The local partner of the global management firm also asked Dr Mahathir on policy changes brought about by the new government as well as the country’s transformation plans.

The premier said Malaysia has always been welcoming towards foreign countries and investors, and this is still relevant despite the change in the government.

However, he said, the government now is strict about combating corruption and does not accept any discrepancies in financial management.

“We still welcome foreign investors,” he said, adding that the fastest way to develop is by inviting foreign investment and acquiring technology.

The CEO Dialogue session, organised by the Korean Chamber of Commerce and Industry, is held in conjunction with the two-day summit which begins today with a leaders’ welcoming dinner.

Later, the prime minister visited the Malaysian Pavilion at the Invest ASEAN Exhibition held in conjunction with the summit.

Malaysian exhibitors participating at this event are MIDA, MATRADE, Invest Selangor, Halal Development Corporation, Usaha Strategik Sdn Bhd (USSB), We Build Easy Sdn Bhd and Tourism Malaysia Seoul.

It is expected to receive 10,000 visitors.

Dr Mahathir was briefed by USSB, which produces biomass pellet from oil palm empty fruit bunch.

Its executive director Za’im Hadi Meskam said the prime minister was interested in how the local company developed the product.

USSB initially collaborated with a German company to acquire technology to produce energy pellets from biowaste but later switched to a technology partner from China.

“About 60 per cent of the technology was developed locally and our product is now used by an industrial boiler in Johor,” he said.

aish kenny, just keep quiet and enjoy the show

Malaysia on track to become Southeast Asian hub on big data & analytics

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is making steady progress in becoming a big data and analytics (BDA) hub in Southeast Asia.

Malaysian Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) chief executive officer (CEO) Datuk Yasmin Mahmood said there are 22 multinational BDA companies from six countries currently setup in Malaysia as of August 2016.

“These include IHS Markit and SiteCore. In addition to this, Fusionex and Data Micron are among the Malaysian companies which have expanded globally,” she said while officiating Big Data Week Asia 2016 today.

Yasmin said that there are 32 BDA companies in total that have exported their services/solutions and 47 BDA start-ups continuously innovating and testing cutting-edge technology in the big data analysis sector.

In terms of addressing talent gap in Asia, MDEC and its key strategic partners have been actively building industry-university partnerships to groom and nurture talent in big data and analytics.

“In addition to introducing postgraduate courses on data science, undergraduate IT-related degrees with data science specialisation are also being introduced,” she said.

Malaysia aims to produce 2,000 data scientists and 16,000 data professionals by 2020.

Currently there are over 300 data scientists in Malaysia, both local and foreign.

“With the support of our partners – Cloudera, Coursera and TheCADs, we are producing data scientists through innovative working models that including forging industry-university collaborations and formulation of industry relevant curriculum,” Yasmin said.

She added that there were 70 data scientists last year who emerged from the model representing corporate multinational companies (MNC), government-linked companies and startups.

Big Data Week Asia 2016 is a week-long congregation at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre initiated by both MDEC and Olygen Sdn Bhd.

The event is part of MDEC’s effort to catalyse digital innovation ecosystems in expanding opportunities in the area of BDA.

The event will host 3,500 participants from across Asean, 84 world-class speakers, 38 leading exhibitors, 41 sponsors and 17 satellite events focused on building a data-driven Asean.

Kuala Lumpur is the 2016 city partner of Global Big Data Week and the congregation has been officially recognised as the biggest in Asia this year.

Some of the speakers at the event include international thought leaders such as Harvard Business School Professor Karim R. Lakhani, director of Centre of Data Innovation in the US, Daniel Castro, Cloudera co-founder Amr Awadallah and Cornell University data scientist Lutz Finger, along with a host of regional and local speakers.

Leading index shows better momentum for economy

Chief statistician Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin (pic) said the LI registered an annual growth of 1.1% in November 2019 to 120.1 points from 118.8 points recorded in the previous year. "The main components driving the 1.3 points shift were real imports of semiconductors and real money supply, M1."

KUALA LUMPUR: The Statistics Department's leading index (LI) shows the economy is expected to chart better momentum in the January to May period of 2020.

Chief Statistician Datuk Seri Dr. Mohd Uzir Mahidin said on Friday the LI predicts the movement of the overall economic direction over the next few months.

“ The LI registered an annual growth of 1.1% in November 2019 to 120.1 points from 118.8 points recorded in the previous year. The main components driving the 1.3 points shift were real imports of semiconductors and real money supply, M1, ” he said a statement.

Despite a slight decrease in the month to month percentage change of 0.2%, the growth rate of LI (smoothed) remained above trend to show better economic momentum in the first five months of 2020, he added.

The anticipated economic direction for Malaysia is in line with the expected economic performance for China and Australia provided by the OECD Composite Leading Index.

Digital transformation in an old field


IT may be Sunday morning, but you’ll find Nguyen Viet Hung enjoying a coffee, and of course, keep up-to-date with work as he fastidiously checks his smart phone.

At 24 years old, Hung entered Vietnam’s startup community with a debut business named ColorME.

Entering the market five years ago, ColorME offers graphic design courses for young adults at VND500,000 (RM88.13) each.

“It is not a new idea, ” Hung said. “Similar courses have appeared for so long before ColorME.”

Starting up with 45 first trainees who were recruited via a simple Facebook event, his company now teaches 1,000 trainees a month at its four branches, three in Hanoi and one in Ho Chi Minh City.

“After the lightning success of the first batch, the second one witnessed a boom in attendance registration with more than 100 people, ” he said. “This was a eureka moment and I felt the urge to develop an inclusive electronic platform as soon as possible.”

“It is not a zero-sum game, as I started low-key, others can do exactly the same. The problem only comes when your business grows bigger and administrative duties are no longer effective to be implemented manually. You will need an app that helps you cover all the paperwork, present data in the most digestible way for easy tracking and monitoring.”

After five years, the app now has a friendly user interface with minimal layouts running smoothly even in low mobile data mode.

Both trainers and trainees use the system to check in, check out, access to the cloud library, upload products, write and get comments.

“We are trying to detail features and enhance experiences of users as much as possible, ” Hung said.

While trainees can learn anytime, anywhere based on their interests and abilities, their feedback is collected and sorted into key words, becoming an important resource for ColorME team to continuously reflect and update syllabuses to best satisfy changing demands.

Instead of investing into fingerprint machines, the company allows staff to scan QR codes for checking in and checking out which requires location, Wifi connection and registered devices.

Data collected will help to calculate workers’ salary at the end of the month based on their performance.

“The process, commonly known as digital transformation, enables a small company like us to save a lot of money, keep the payroll small and efficient and offer more added value for customers, ” Hung said.

“It feels like we set foot in a field where many others cultivated. How to perfect services and how to grow sustainably, those questions keep echoing in our heads. A capable tool, I think, is our answer.”

Vietnam has set an ambitious goal to have one million enterprises in the first year of the new decade.

Bui Tat Thang, former head of Development Strategies Institute under Ministry of Planning and Investment, stressed innovation as the key for the country’s startup community.

“Vietnam has jumped ten places in the 2019 Global Competitive Index while innovation has been considered as a breakthrough in its ten-year development strategy from 2021 to 2030, ” he said.

“The government needs more assistance policies to unleash the potential of private enterprises, especially technology-based start-ups, at the same time, creating favourable conditions which uphold transparency and accountability for them to develop, ” Thang added.

ColorME has just had its first venture round and gotten support from 18 investors. In the next five years, the company expects to expand to other markets in the region.

“But first, we will start 2020 by launching an e-learning subscription package at VND100,000 per month which offers users courses on demand and the huge resource of some 1,000 articles on graphic design.

The beta version is now being experienced by some 2,000 people, ” Hung said.

“To us, it is a constant progress of trial and error to gradually scale up the company. With the digital platform as a backbone, our aspiration is to simplify operational procedures to a level which allows the instant deployment of courses in a foreign country, ” he said.

“As innovation takes time, we are going on a restless journey.”

Fourth victim dies from coronavirus in Wuhan

BEIJING: A fourth person has died from pneumonia in the central Chinese city of Wuhan following the outbreak of a new coronavirus, health authorities said.

The 89-year-old man developed symptoms on Jan 13 and was admitted to hospital five days later after he experienced severe breathing difficulties, the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission said in a statement yesterday.

He died on Jan 19.

The commission said the patient also had underlying health diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and coronary heart disease.

In a separate statement posted on its official Weibo account, the commission said 15 medical workers in the city had been diagnosed with pneumonia with one other suspected case.

Of the infected staff, one was in critical condition, it added.

Wuhan has designated nine hospitals for pneumonia treatment and 61 fever clinics to tackle the spread.

The city’s health commission published a list of the hospitals and clinics on its website.

A medical expert team has been set up, with 25 members from 10 provincial and municipal hospitals, according to the health commission.

On Monday, a high-level expert team of China’s National Health Commission confirmed people-to-

people transmission of the novel coronavirus and infections among medical staff.

Zhong Nanshan, a renowned respiratory expert and head of the team, said two cases in Guangdong province were confirmed to be people-to-people transmission.

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.Live for what’s worth dying for, and leverage technology to create the world you wish to see.God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.Happy happy day arb investors!

TURNAROUNDS

“These aren’t slow growers; these are no growers.” Lynch said turnaround companies are “battered, depressed and often can barely drag themselves into Chapter 11.” If they survive and fix their problems, however, they can rebound very quickly and stock prices are least related to the overall market. One of Lynch’s favorites in this category was Chrysler (now Fiat Chrysler (NYSE:FCAU)); it was also a cyclical stock, although that aspect was not as pronounced. From the time he bought in 1982, it became a five-bagger in two years and 15-bagger in five years. He found many opportunities among these temporary losers.

If thegreedz can call Cyclical "gruesome" then what will he call "turnaround?

He will be horrified!

Like he was so horrified when we recommended arbb7181

Hahaha!!

So dumb indeed!!

Read again very very carefully Peter Lynch;s wise words from experience

If they survive and fix their problems, however, they can rebound very quickly and stock prices are least related to the overall market.

SEE. IF THEY SURVIVE?

THE ARB SECRET

"THEY CAN REBOUND VERY QUICKLY!!!

"AND STOCK PRICES ARE LEAST RELATED TO THE OVERALL MARKET!!!"

Last year many stocks crashed but SOME STOCKS DID WELL

(SO THERE IS A SPECIAL BOOSTER BECAUSE OF IR4.0 UPSTREAM RM100BILLIONS JOB CAPEX!!)

NOW SAME FOR ARBB7181 BECAUSE OF IR4.0 IS THE NEXT BIG THING!!!

GO AND STUDY HOW PETER LYNCH PICKED 100 10 BAGGAR STOCKS BECAUSE OF PICKING CYCLICAL TURNAROUND THAT FINALLY BEAT WARREN BUFFET!!!

A 10 BAGGARS MEAN A STOCK THAT CAN GAIN 10 X (times) or 1,000%

PETER FOUND THESE HIDDEN GEMS AMONG CYCLICALS & TURNAROUNDS

Buy very low. Sell very high. That is what I always try to do.

I queued buy since, GOOD SIGN INDEED!!

Just now remmiser called to say my queue at buy for 0.295 sen finally matched

I bought till no more fund.
Now will sell others to collect more and more arbb shares!

How Industry 4.0 is changing relationships between man and machine

The fourth industrial revolution - Industry 4.0 - is already on the way to becoming a reality. With its arrival, the modern manufacturing world is moving towards greater automation. Advanced workplaces are replacing traditional production lines and the relationship between man and machine is taking a leap forward.

No one knows the job better than the person who is doing it - that is the idea behind a package of novel ideas designed to make the most of factory workers' knowledge and experience.

In Seinajoki, Finland, metal company Prima Power is trialing two of the EU’s Factory2Fit project solutions.

This €4m study explores new ways for people and machines to work together.

Dr Eija Kaasinen from technical research centre VTT says the aim is to put people at the centre and to enable them to participate in designing their own work environment.

The workers will also have a say in how the work is organised and can share their own practical knowledge with colleagues.
Globally, automation and robotics are transforming manufacturing as part of the fourth industrial revolution. But this doesn't mean the human element is removed from work.

"Of course there are manual elements - but the work is changing towards knowledge work," explains Dr Eija Kaasinen. "It's more like working with the virtual counterparts of the physical things in the physical world."

The Pre-training Solution, for example, uses 3D models and cloud-based tutorials.

The Knowledge Sharing solution is a way to make the most of all the experience a worker gathers while running complex machinary, especially when something goes wrong, as Prima Power's Mariia Kreposna explains.

"So here the operator can open the additional dialogue box to get extra information about the situation. This is done by sharing the additional text, description, pictures or videos so the idea is in the future whenever the alarm with the same code happens, the operator will be able to learn not only the standard remedies but also other possible reasons and how to prevent this alarm happening in the future."

'Sleep was really important for my work performance'
At the Elekmerk factory in Keuruu, Finland, workers tested the Worker Feedback Dashboard - a biometric monitoring tool - like a fitbit - and an app.

It charts someone's work achievements and their well being - such as sleep and steps taken per day - and shows how the two can be linked.

"When we interviewed factory workers during the project we heard that often they had negative feedback when something is not going well," says VTT's Päivi Heikkilä.. "So we wanted to develop an application that would also give you positive feedback of the fluency of your work and your accomplishments, so feedback of the things that are going well."

Ville Vuarola was one of five workers who wore the wristband for the three-month pilot scheme. He was happy to take part and says he was surprised at how a good night's sleep had a positive impact on his job.

"I was surprised to see how sleeping well influenced my work performance. Together with leisure activities, sleep was really important for my general performance at work," he says.

'We always consider the ethics'
Of all the Factory2Fit solutions, this was the one that proved the most controversial with fears expressed over the possible misuse of workers' data.

But Päivi Heikkilä says these concerns are unfounded.

"When we are developing these kind of solutions we always consider the ethics," she says, "and I want to stress and highlight that this should always be voluntary."

The data gathered is kept on a separate server, not in the factory system.

Researchers expect at least some of their Factory2Fit solutions to be commercially available by the end of next year.

happy chinese new year guys!

Wan Azizah: Pakatan accepts results of Kimanis by-election as a lesson

KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Pakatan Harapan will learn from the outcome of the Kimanis parliamentary by-election and will make changes to win the support of the people, says Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

"We have heard (the voice of the people) and will take this as a lesson to guide us in improving the situation in order for us to regain the mandate and support of the people," the Deputy Prime Minister told reporters here Sunday (Jan 19).

In the Kimanis parliamentary by-election on Saturday (Jan 18) Barisan Nasional retained the seat after its candidate, Datuk Mohamad Alamin, 48, won by a majority of 2,029 votes, defeating Datuk Karim Bujang, 67, of Parti Warisan Sabah.

Dr Wan Azizah, who is also Pakatan president, said the government respected the decision of the people in Kimanis who might have been caught up by their own issues at the state level and the parliamentary constituency, including over the Sabah Temporary Pass (PSS).

"The important thing is to see where we ourselves can improve, no doubt there are issues such as the PSS and all, but the PSS decision was made during the Barisan government and they now say that it is all our fault.

"This is not true. We made some improvements to it but probably the message was not passed down," she said.

In September last year, the Committee on the Management of Foreign Nationals had agreed to issue the PSS to replace the three documents issued to foreign nationals residing in Sabah, namely the IMM13 passes, census certificate and Kad Burung-Burung beginning June 1 this year.

The proposal on the implementation of the PSS went viral on social media, raising controversies and confusion after the facts were misconstrued by certain parties.

In another development, Dr Wan Azizah said she has left it to the PKR disciplinary board to review and take appropriate action against PKR vice-president Zuraida Kamaruddin, who was given 14 days to respond to a show cause letter, issued to her for allegations of misconduct.

"I will leave it to disciplinary committee because they have to be independent," said the PKR advisory council chairman.

Earlier, the Deputy Prime Minister distributed 500 cartons of mandarin oranges and had a friendly meeting with residents under the Pandan parliamentary constituency at the Pandan Jaya morning market in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebrations.

Meanwhile in BUTTERWORTH, Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng said Pakatan will take the results of the Kimanis by-election as a lesson and would strive harder in the best interest of the people.

He said all elected representatives must work harder and focus on the people’s needs especially their economic needs.

"We accept the people's decision in retaining the Barisan stronghold and after this, I would advise all elected representatives to put in more effort," he told reporters after the launch of Ops Selamat 16 and the Seberang Prai North Road Safety Campaign in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebrations here on Sunday.

Wuhan virus claims second victim in China

HONG KONG :- Chinese authorities have reported a second death from a mystery virus that has left dozens of people ill in the city of Wuhan, Hong Kong media reports said.

The Wuhan health authorities reported late on Thursday (Jan 16) that a 69-year-old man, who was first taken ill on Dec 31, died on Wednesday at the Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital in Hubei province after a two-week illness that progressed to multi-organ system failure. His symptoms became more severe on Jan 4, broadcaster RTHK reported.

The first death from the mystery virus occurred in China on Jan 9. The victim was a 61-year-old man who had serious underlying medical conditions.

News of the latest death came hours after it emerged that a second case of the novel coronavirus had been reported outside China. Japanese authorities said that a man in Kanagawa prefcture had fallen ill after visiting Wuhan.

The first case outside China was detected in Thailand on Monday - a 61-year-old Chinese woman who had been hospitalised for high fever and breathing difficulties. She is now in a stable condition.

After the news of the Japanese case emerged, Hong Kong authorities stepped up their monitoring of the disease, ordering private doctors to report cases of fever and respiratory infection in anyone who had been in a mainland hospital or come into contact with anyone who had the new virus, RTHK reported.

Previously, doctors had been required to report such symptoms to the Centre for Health Protection only for patients who had actually been to Wuhan.

There have been no confirmed cases of the disease in Hong Kong so far.

Wuhan has recorded a total of 41 cases of the new virus, of whom five are in a serious condition

In Singapore, a third suspected case was reported on Thursday. The Ministry of Health said a 69-year-old man who travelled to Wuhan has been diagnosed with pneumonia.

The man, a Singaporean, had not visited the seafood wholesale market in Huanan, from whence the new bug is thought to have emerged. Investigations are ongoing to establish whether his illness is linked to the Wuhan disease cluster.

Meanwhile, two Chinese tourists with fever symptoms from Wuhan were quarantined by Vietnam's Ministry of Health and are now under observation after they landed at Danang International Airport on Tuesday.

Hanoi dispatched a medical team to the coastal city and called an emergency meeting on Wednesday on prevention efforts.

The World Health Organisation, which has said that the virus has "some limited human-to-human transmission", is not taking any chances and has warned of a potential wider outbreak.

The region is gearing up on precautionary measures, with an expected surge in Chinese visitors during the Chinese New Year holiday later this month, with more stringent health monitoring checks and quarantine procedures for those who visited Wuhan recently.

Many countries in the region, including Japan and Indonesia, are stepping up health screening of inbound travellers.

care to all arb investors, china is bringing out their virus after chinese new year!

US-China phase-one trade deal a boom for lots of service sector

BEIJING : China and the United States pledged in their phase-one trade agreement on Wednesday (Jan 15) to accelerate two-way opening of the financial service sector and expand market access for each other's companies -- a move that is mutually beneficial and in line with China's objectives, analysts said on Thursday.

The countries agreed to provide fair, effective and nondiscriminatory market access for each other's financial companies in sectors such as banking, securities, insurance, futures, asset management, electronic payments and credit rating.

They also reached consensus on macroeconomic policies and exchange rates, recognising that strong fundamentals, sound policies and a resilient international monetary system are essential to exchange rate stability. Stability, in turn, leads to strong and sustainable growth and investment.

The People's Bank of China, the central bank, said in a statement that the agreement reflected the progress China has made to actively push an orderly opening-up of the financial sector, which helps the competitiveness and resilience of the Chinese financial system and will boost China-US cooperation.

Dong Yan, a research fellow at the Institute of World Economics and Politics, noted that financial opening is an established national policy. The country has adopted a fresh round of liberalising measures that largely reflect the content of the agreement on financial services.

"The opening of the financial service sector will be mutually beneficial. The agreement included commitments from both China and the US. It will also enable Chinese financial institutions to go abroad and carry out business in the US market," Dong said.

Under the agreement, China will eliminate foreign equity limits in securities, fund management and futures, as well as in the life insurance, pension and health insurance sectors, no later than April 1. The country will also grant US companies greater market access in the areas of credit rating services, electronic payments and management of debt distress.

Meanwhile, the US affirmed in the agreement that it will expeditiously consider pending requests by Chinese financial institutions, including CITIC Group, China International Capital Corp and China Reinsurance Group.

Dong said that further financial opening will not likely have a negative effect on China's financial security, as it will focus mainly on business cooperation. Chinese regulators will continue to improve their capabilities and make them compatible with the level of opening.

Li Chao, chief researcher of macroeconomy at Huatai Securities, said one highlight of the China-US agreement is the opening-up of the electronic payment sector. It signals that US companies such as Visa and MasterCard will take a step forward in China's vast payment market, Li said in a research note.

In the agreement, the US also promised to give nondiscriminatory treatment to Chinese electronic payment service suppliers, such as UnionPay.

The phase one trade agreement and the bilateral commitment to further liberalise the financial industry have boosted corporate confidence.

"We are encouraged that the United States and China are making progress in addressing the trade concerns that exist between the two countries," American Express said in a written note.

The US company is waiting for the regulatory approval for its Chinese joint venture to start the clearing and settlement business in China.
