Dow falling almost 400 point help but Eduspec looks very steady. As the days pass you will probably see less sellers as many will be holding their stocks for the FREE warrant, soon price movement will start surging up faster with less sellers.
The media has yet to cover the approval of the free warrants and the other resolutions passed at the AGM/EGM. Perhaps later today or tomorrow. Then EDUSPEC will rally again.
Buying at 6 sen is strong. Almost 4 million shares traded at 6 sen. Total volume is 5.6 million shares in first 1.5 hours of trading. EDUSPEC is strong despite overall market being depressed with the KLCI down 18 points.
Malaysia still far from being out of the woods, says Daim KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 5): Malaysia is still far from reaching the status of a developed country with unified citizens that is ready to face the industrial challenges of the future, says Council of Eminent Persons (CEP) chairman Tun Daim Zainuddin. Daim said Malaysia is still playing catch up with the fourth industrial revolution when other countries are already gearing for the supposed fifth industrial revolution. "Let us not be under any illusions. We are still far from being out of the woods. We are far from being ready for the changes happening around us. "We are far from being a united people. We are far from being able to compete at the global level. We are far from being able to embrace differences and changes. "And underpinning all of this unpreparedness is education," he said at the launch of the International Conference on Emerging Issues in Public Policy at Universiti Malaya's Institute of Public Policy and Management. The former finance minister pointed out that education is the key to prepare the youth for the future. However, he said the education ministry has failed to prioritise the right issues to tackle, which has hindered the progress of reforms within the national education policy. "We are still arguing over whether we should teach Maths and Science in English, when the rest of the world has embarked on advanced curriculums that focus on Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR4) so as to make their youth more competitive and relevant in a world that is going to be dominated by artificial intelligence and robotics," he said. "To participate in IR4, we must go through a knowledge-based economy and here Malaysia has failed because the government, through the Ministry of Education, has not got its priorities right. The Education Ministry must not fail our nation. "While we are still mired in the political rhetoric of languages, others around us have moved beyond English or Mandarin or Bahasa Malaysia into the language of programming and coding. When will we realise just how far behind we are and lacking?" Daim added. In facing the rise of technology in industrialisation, Daim said the government should implement policies that create an environment where people are allowed to maximise their potential and pursue creative pursuits that are complemented by technology, not replaced by it. The reality is, he said, technology will have the most impact on future employment as robots replace humans in menial tasks. But where one window closes, another opens, he added. "Fields such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Robotics, Supply Chain Logistics, and Smart Manufacturing need skilled workers and indeed, the World Economic Forum has estimated that 133 million jobs will emerge as technology advances," he said. At the same time, Daim stressed that education is not just for skills development, but it is also for the soul. He said the values that are instilled in the youth at home and at the school level will greatly impact the type of adults they evolve into. "We must empower them with the ability to think critically, logically, wisely and to make their own informed decisions, no matter the situation. We must raise a new generation of leaders and great thinkers, not of sheep and cowards," he said.
Malaysia still has a long way to catch up with other nations. As with my other post earlier China will be the world leader in Industrial Revolution 4.0 when the Greater Bay Area fully function in a few years time.
Where is Malaysia's standing in robotic adoption? As Daim said, we are still arguing over whether we should teach Maths and Science in English, when the rest of the world has embarked on advanced curriculums that focus on Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR4).
