The consultation session with stakeholders to provide and assemble Malaysia’s comments on the UN/CEFACT white paper was held on 10th July 2018 at Auditorium Dr Tengku Azzman Shariffadeen, MIMOS Berhad, Technology Park Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur from 9.30 am to 1 pm.

Mr. Fattah Yatim, Chairman of Malaysian National Standards Committee on Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies (TC/G/15), Department of Standards Malaysia, shared his insights on blockchain technology with the audience.

Blockchain is not alone in its potential for disruptive impact. The ground is leveled and there is this opportunity for us to leapfrog. We will become followers if we are not moving fast enough. ~ A Fattah Yatim

Then, Mr. Ng Kang Siong, Principal Researcher of Information Security Lab from MIMOS, Malaysia’s National R&D Centre in ICT shared the “Liaison Report to ISO TC 307, Blockchain White Papers Project” with the audience.

There was also information sharing from MITI related to global trade.

It was quite an insightful meeting among the industry players.

Quite some discussions went through to further enhance the whitepaper.

Notes: Fattah Yatim’s Mindshare

A foundational technology is one of its kind that appears in very untraditional ways. It should therefore be addressed and treated in very untraditional ways and not in the ways that Malaysian planners are used to. It starts with focused leadership and commitment on Blockchain. Say it out and commit to mean what you say.

What chain? Yes Blockchain.

A very good piece of thought by A Fattah Yatim: Leaders Aspiring To Lead Malaysia For The Next 5 Years And Beyond Must State Their Position And Plans About Blockchain
