Special Incentives Needed For The Making Of Cyberjaya Valley, Says Investor:

http://www.bernama.com.my/bernama/v7/bu/ne...s.php?id=979433

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 21 (Bernama) -- In the making of Cyberjaya Valley, angel investors and venture capitalists should be lured through special incentives, says an investor, Steven Koskie.

"A good start towards attracting foreign investors is by giving special incentives on labour, land, as well as export and import taxes.

"It will make it attractive for angel investors and venture capitalists from elsewhere to come in and "seed" the Cyberjaya Valley," he told Bernama.

Koskie said that as great products start emerging on the global stage, this would create the momentum to kick-start the whole entrepreneurial scene.

Koskie, Co-Founder of Dipdive.com also sits on the MSC Malaysia International Advisory Panel (IAP), advising the Prime Minister of Malaysia on technology and wealth creation strategies.

He sees Malaysia as not lacking credible ideas and technologies.

"The problem is the lack of a well established venture capital model to take these ideas or technologies to the next level," he said.

Koskie said entrepreneurs need to extend their reach outside Malaysia.

"To get outside Malaysia requires cash and contacts. Malaysia has some unique things that put it way ahead of other developing countries and there is no reason why it can't compete for these funds," added Koskie who has been coming to Malaysia for 10 years now.

He said the way of doing business in Malaysia is "very fluid and dynamic" with a lot less control, but without it being chaotic.

"There is a lot of hunger and drive here among the young to want to strike out on their own. Thus, there is no reason why getting the necessary funding from venture capitalists should be a problem," he added.

On the 4th Global Entrepreneurship Summit 2013 (GES2013)from Oct 11-12, Koskie noted that the Malaysian government should capitalise on these attributes and take advantage of it.

"The door is wide open to start putting something in place to build a venture capital community. It is something that will draw them together. If we start now, we can see things happening within six months to a year," he said.

The GES2013 will see the participation of US President, Barack Obama.

Setia Haruman Embarks On Up-skilling Of Graduates To Boost Cyberjaya's Attractiveness:

http://www.bernama.com.my/bernama/v7/bu/ne...s.php?id=979348

CYBERJAYA, Sept 21 (Bernama) -- An intensive internship programme is now underway in Cyberjaya after a series of dialogues between several multinational corporations (MNCs) operating here and Setia Haruman Sdn Bhd (SHSB), the master developer of the country's leading ICT hub, following assertions that there could be a 'mismatch' in the knowledge and skills of graduates produced by local universities and what the MNCs require from them in the work environment.

The low take-up rate in the recruitment of graduates from local universities has prompted Setia Haruman to ensure the sustainability and pre-eminence of Cyberjaya through its own internship programme by up-skilling young graduates for the kind of work demanded by the MNCs.

Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal, founder and chairman of EMKAY Group, who is also the Chairman of Setia Haruman, said he has spent RM1.8 million on an industry-academia collaboration programme to train and improve the marketability of graduates from five local universities by improving their skill sets and language skills.

He said Setia Haruman aims to compile a report detailing the findings of the pilot project and offer recommendations to overcome the mismatch between future graduates and the industry.

"We are spending RM1.8 million from our own budget. This is to ensure that we find out the root cause relating to the mismatch (of skills). We decided to proceed with the internship and up-skilling programme to ensure that the immediate requirements needed by the industries in Cyberjaya are met by the students from these five universities -- Universiti Malaya, Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Universiti Utara Malaysia and Taylors College University," he told BERNAMA TV recently.

Mustapha expressed surprise over the poor recruitment rate from the MNCs in the internship and up-skilling programme but stressed that he was undaunted by this and would carry out the internship and up-skilling programme up to December this year as he wanted to find out what had caused or led to this poor state of affairs.

"From the figures that I have just received, only seven out of the 300 graduates that indicated their interest were directly employed by the industry. And one of the major reasons is they are unable to communicate in English and the level of their command in English is low. I believe we have to do something concrete to overcome this problem."

Some of the other drawbacks uncovered were their critical thinking, cross-cultural, problem-solving and analytical skills. There are 74 graduates from these five universities currently undergoing Setia Haruman's internship and up-skilling programme.

Launched in 1997 by the country's fourth Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Cyberjaya was developed to help push the country towards a knowledge-based economy. Its aspiration to be one of the global ICT hubs has turned Cyberjaya into one of the top destinations for ICT Shared Services and Outsourcing (SSO) businesses. Over the next 10-15 years, businesses are expected to provide jobs for about 120,000 employees and the higher educational institutions here providing places for up to 30,000 students.

Today, Cyberjaya is home to many multinational companies such as Shell, HP, Ericsson, IBM, Dell, BMW, HSBC and DHL. It is also a choice location for educational establishments such as the Multimedia University, Limkokwing University College of Creative technology (LUCT), Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences (CUCMS) and University Malaysia of Computer Science and Engineering (UniMY).

In the last few years, many have also decided to stay in Cyberjaya in top-end residential developments such as Perdana Lakeview West, Perdana Lakeview East, The Serinity Garden Homes, Neo Cyber of EMKAY, Garden Residences and D'Melor Condominiums.

Mustapha, a property developer who has won many accolades for his property projects, does not see Cyberjaya as a property play but as the nucleus for the country's aspiration to have a high-income workforce.

"By December we hope that the 74 graduates in the internship and up-skilling programme, God willing, will be fully employed. We will be able to take up from there with the authorities on our findings in this pilot project and offer solutions on overcoming this mismatch," said Mustapha.

He said he was taking this initiative personally because of his concern about the sustainability of Cyberjaya if there was a lack local manpower to fulfil the requirements of multinationals operating there in the immediate and medium term.

"If these companies cannot find people of the right calibre, they would then be forced to look for foreign talents, which may raise their cost of doing business here in Cyberjaya," he said, stressing that the bleaker outlook over the medium term if the skills mismatch was not addressed would be that these companies might be encouraged to re-locate outside Malaysia if local talents were hard to come by.

"It all boils down to the cost of doing business in Cyberjaya and having the right skills required by the multinational companies," he stressed, adding that since he has been entrusted with the development of Cyberjaya, he would like to ensure its significance as the leading hub for the country's high-income economy as planned by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and its catalytic role in the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) as envisaged by Dr Mahathir.

UEM Sunrise to bank on projects in southern region:

http://www.thestar.com.my/Business/Busines...ern-region.aspx

CYBERJAYA: UEM Sunrise Bhd, a unit of UEM Group Bhd, expects its projects in the southern region to contribute up to 65% to group revenue by next year.

The central region will account for 30% while 5% will come from others. UEM Sunrise is one of the master developers of Nusajaya, the country’s foremost economic corridor in the southern region.

The company expects Nusajaya to become the largest fully integrated urban development in South-East Asia upon completion.

Speaking to reporters at a media tour-central region, its managing director/chief executive officer Datuk Wan Abdullah Wan Ibrahim said the company was, however, still on the lookout for land in the Klang Valley.

“We have made bids for quite a number of projects to date but luck has not been on our side,” he added.

The company has at present a landbank of about 243ha in the central region and 2630ha in the southern region.

Wan Abdullah said UEM Sunrise was on a “buy mode” as it has a five year growth target to achieve.

“As our parent company is wholly-owned by the Government’s investment holding company, Khazanah, there are some expectations to fulfill, he added.

Meanwhile, UEM Sunrise gave an update in progress on Symphony Hills at Cyberjaya, its property portfolio in the central region.

It is an exclusive residential development with the country’s first Connected Intelligent Community, offering smart-home features and community connectivity through high-speed broadband.

The first phase of Symphony Hills saw the introduction of 416 landed homes divided into four types, Beethoven, Mozart, Schumann and Schubert.

The second phase comprises two residential towers, Verdi eco-dominiums, where 400 out of 800 units were introduced to the market in May this year.

These, including other UEM Sunrise ongoing projects in the central region like the Arcoris Mont’ Kiara and Summer VOS, will have a RM7bil gross development value when completed.

Internationally, UEM Sunrise continues expanding and seeking growth, especially in Singapore, India, Indonesia and Australia.

It has also expanded its presence to Vancouver, Canada, and retains a land bank in Durban, South Africa. – Bernama

Najib visits Facebook and Google HQ:

http://www.nst.com.my/latest/najib-visits-...gle-hq-1.362768

SAN FRANCISCO: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak discussed potential collaborative efforts between Facebook and Malaysia in a private meeting with Facebook chairman and chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg at the social media giant's head office in Menlo Park on Tuesday.
The meeting was part of a series of high-level discussions, demonstrations and announcements that form the prime minister's visit to Silicon Valley, organised by the Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC).

MDeC is the driver of Malaysia's digital economy initiative, Digital Malaysia, and the national ICT initiative, MSC Malaysia.

Facebook has 12.7 million Malaysian users to date, making the country 18th in the ranking of all Facebook statistics by country.

Later, Najib visited another social media giant, Google, at its headquarters in Mountain View, not far from San Francisco city.

Najib was given a tour around the complex and had a meeting with senior officials of Google. It is understood that they had good discussions on collaboration between the two parties.

The prime minister also took the opportunity to meet and chat with nine Malaysian Googlers at the Google office.

According to them, there are more than 20 Malaysians working at Google in fields related to IT.

Quddus Chong, a computer programmer from Sarawak, said he joined Google 18 months ago after working in the US for quite sometime. He did his undergraduate and postgraduate studies in the US.

Norzaini Suhaimi who hails from Kota Baharu in Kelantan has been working at Google for a few years.

She said she enjoyed working at Google as her employer always gave support for them to upgrade their knowledge, skills or career.

Dr Tejinder Kaur Judge from Kuala Lumpur who joined Google as a staff after completing her PhD by research at Google, said she enjoyed working there and had
no problem adjusting to life there.

Meanwhile, Andi Jusniar, an Indonesian, whose husband is a Malaysian working for a different company, said she would like to work at Google for as long as she could.

Yok Lian Lee and Cythia Lim said they did not miss home food that much as "there is a banana leaf restaurant nearby where frozen 'roti canai' is always available".

They said finding accommodation or house to rent was also not a problem even though the cost of living was a bit high.

Najib, who looked happy to meet the Malaysians, spent some time chatting with them.

The prime minister was later given a ride in a Google car, a hybrid self-driving car, for about 20 minutes, accompanied by a Google executive around the area.

Yesterday, Najib visited Twitter's corporate office and headquarters in Market Street, here, where he tweeted two tweets to the surprise of his 1.7 million followers in Malaysia and around the world.

Najib who is on a visit to San Francisco and New York from Sept 22 to 29 had also officiated at the Bio International Advisory Panel Meeting (BIO-IAP) 2013, here, today.

I heard from 2 agents days ago saying they have completed 2 sub-sale transactions of semi-D in Garden Residence of 1.5million and 1.6million respectively. What a good appreciation..that means the 2 storey super link in Garden Residence can fetch up to 1.3 million now. Once IOI Resort City and other malls in Cyberjaya come up in Cyberjaya, I forecast the the semi-d in garden residence can hit 2.5 million at least. Not surprising that it will keep going up, since Garden Residence is the most strategic location for residential area in Cyberjaya
