Post Event Media Report

Event coverage by the New Sarawak Tribune, one of the biggest English Newspaper in Sarawak State of Malaysia.

Originally formed by teachers in 1945, the Sarawak Tribune was the second English language daily in Sarawak and was, prior to its suspension, the state’s oldest and largest operating state daily, with over 400 employees throughout the state and 70 editorial staff in Kuching.

The daily was regarded as a legacy of British colonial Sarawak. Its sister paper was the state Malay-language daily, Utusan Sarawak. Formerly, its other sister paper was the state Mandarin daily, Chinese Daily News, now known as United Daily. It was last owned by Sarawak Press Sdn Bhd.

Blockchain In Supply Chain

Internet Alliance organized the Malaysia Internet Business Summit 2018 at MaGIC building, Cyberjaya, Malaysia on 15th November 2018.

The theme for the event was “Digital Technology, Future Is Now”.

It’s an honor to be able to share the same stage with many of the established industry players.

I think I am the only “crypto guy” who shared a little bit about Blockchain in the event. The organizer actually reminded me (in a very polite way) that “you are not talking about cryptocurrency right? ….” kinda thing before confirming the slot for the event.

Yes, that normal “Blockchain is good, crypto is bad” perception. Anyhow, I do choose the topic “Blockchain In Supply Chain”, and made a little bit of introduction to Crypto Valley Malaysia Association which I co-founded to promote the tech movement to the country and the world.

Blockchain In Supply Chain – Dreams vs Reality

While transparency, traceability and trust are all the good element the blockchain technology promise to deliver, we still have to match those elements with real world business model and operating cases.

The reality of data policy according to country, stakeholders collaboration when it comes to implementation, and the data that we are collecting and feed into the system, are some of the real world challenges we need to face and tackle.

It might not be an easy job before we see the real killer apps in the supply chain when in comes to blockchain implemntation, but how hard can that be?

Whatever the mind can conceive it can achieve

It is nice that the organizer hosted us the speakers a very good dinner after the day long event.

Thank you and wish you all a blessed and blissful journey in pursuing your dreams.

ACO Technical Requirements Workshop at MaGIC, Cyberjaya

howtze — Wed, 11 Apr 2018 12:28:59 +0000

One of my Australian friends once told me that he had never seen any government as helpful as the Malaysian government when it comes to developing the tech industry (though the people here are in the midst of deciding who will be the next mandate in Putrajaya)

Indeed, it is true to some extent that we have MaGIC, MDEC, MiGHT, MIDA, DFTZ, MCMC etc in place.

And today, we are here at MaGIC HQ, with people from MDEC dropping by, and others from financial industry (such as VC, underwriter etc), institutional people such as rep from The National Sandbox@MaGIC, and tech people sitting together in a Technical Requirements Workshop organized by myNEF (New Entrepreneurs Foundation), discussing on the possibilities and opportunities of developing the technical part of ACO (Accredited Coin Offering) platform as a Social Investment into the future of digital currency and crypto-economy, something to keep the ICO market self-regulated and healthy.

Beyond coin minting and liquidity capability.

What would it take in order to put a complex system in place?

The workshop started around 9.30 a.m. with Lilyana Latiff, CEO of MyNEF (New Entrepreneurs Foundation) giving a brief intro about MyNEF and the foundation’s masterplan for 2018/19. MyNEF believes that startups can grow fast and be sustainable by harnessing knowledge and technology.
