OPINION: Deeper context required for future SEA Games performance

Nordin Abdullah speaking at the Stratcom Disaster Communication Forum held in Ankara, Turkiye from 25-26 April 2023. | NHA File Photo The classic knee-jerk reaction is to say, fire the coach, change the leadership of associations, and reduce the funding till they start performing better. This kind of negative reinforcement may work for kindergarten children, but we are dealing with high-performance adults – individuals much further along in their psychological and professional development journey. There is a need for a strategic shift in attitude and allocation if Malaysia is going to match its perceived vision of itself and the required image to be projected on the regional and global stage. How the nation competes, how an association competes and ultimately how an athlete competes is a function of the system that they are produced from. Do we have an understanding of the competitive landscape in which our national [...]

MGBF roundtable to shape Malaysia’s future in the digital economy

 The Malaysia Global Business Forum (MGBF) will be hosting a roundtable on ‘Designing the Future of the Digital Economy’ on 23 February 2023. It is the culmination of the first three MGBF Exclusive Roundtable Series titled ‘The Evolving Threat Matrix in the Digital Economy’ held throughout 2022. According to the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), the digital economy is currently contributing 22.6 per cent to the country’s gross domestic product (GDP), with a projected growth to 25.5 per cent by 2025.

MGBF: Political stability to usher in new era for business

The Founding Chairman of the Malaysia Global Business Forum (MGBF), Nordin Abdullah, today spoke on Bernama TV’s leading English talk show, The Brief, hosted by Jessy Chahal, on the topic of a stable political reality and what that means for the Malaysian economy. Nordin said, “The first thing that it does is that it allows investors, both domestic and foreign, to know that there will be policy continuity. And what that means is there is not going to be any rapid switching of policies that could threaten investors – either the money that they have here or the ability for them to operate in this country or for them to repatriate funds, in some cases. This policy continuity is really the benchmark that the investors are looking for and you cannot guarantee that in a sense without political stability. “So the fact that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s administration now has [...]

Death by a Thousand Algorithms

More than 1,100 years ago, Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi was developing the mathematical formulas that we know today as algorithms which now have become so intertwined with the business fortunes of global media giants and the very fabric of geopolitics. A series of recent high level international reports have revealed pockets of Coordinated Inauthentic Behaviour (CIB) in the realm of social media and the cyber domain. While the international reports highlighted their existence, they stop short of explaining their impact on various populations. The rise of an even more sophisticated form of activity has emerged – cyber-social attacks which brings together a generation of knowledge in cyber incursions coupled with the latest developments in social media manipulation. These aggressive, malicious, and targeted attacks have left crisis response teams in the business and political worlds with their heads spinning. The Crisis Management Centre issued a report stating that there were massive [...]

KSK Land recognised for investor attraction strategy

KSK Land has been recognised by the Malaysia Global Business Forum (MGBF) for its role in attracting high net-worth individuals to Malaysia post-pandemic. The first challenge in investor attraction is “selling” the country. In the context of Asia, Malaysia is competing with some very established investment destinations. The second is to position the city as a highly liveable city with the connectivity to regional and global markets. The team at KSK Land has successfully sold Malaysia, the city of Kuala Lumpur, and the property 8 Conlay to a selection of global investors looking for a strategic position in ASEAN. MGBF founding chairman, Nordin Abdullah, said, “We have seen in cities like London that high net-worth investors often start with the purchase of an iconic property. After establishing a footprint and spending more time in the city, the investor finds ways to integrate Malaysian opportunities into their global business operations.” “For [...]
