SPM and the Future of Data

Source: Utusan Last week SPM results came out, 373,974 aspirants who have been waiting patiently over the last few months would now know their fate. Some 10,109 have received all A’s, the golden standard of academic success and the ticket to those looking to study the “more advanced” subjects in university. Proudly, I’m able to report that my daughter was in this group. So, I would be remiss not to thank all her teachers, tutors, her family members who helped in various ways, and her friends who studied with her over the last few years. And to recognise her hard work in this achievement. It truly takes a team effort to ensure that one person can meet this kind of educational objective. SPM results season is also an opportunity for institutions of higher learning to catch as many students as possible, and rightfully so for Malaysia to become [...]

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 [...]

Management of misinformation in Türkiye could be a lesson for Asia, says crisis management analyst

On the strategic level, the challenge is to do the greatest amount of good with the limited resources at hand within the shortest amount of time. On the ground, there is only one objective – to save as many lives as possible. To suggest that this is not the government’s utmost priority from the President down is madness. The good international standing and connectivity of Türkiye have enabled aid and resources to flow into the country quickly. That was made possible by effective communication with international agencies, governments, and non-governmental organisations. In a crisis, control of critical infrastructure is required. Social media is now considered a critical infrastructure. The action regarding Twitter was a stop-gap measure in the face of destabilising misinformation. In the months and years to come, it will become a much-studied case study for crisis communications and disaster response. In this context, there was too much information [...]

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.
