Hi all,

My future looks very dim if I continue with my present lifestyle thus I need to take drastic change.

I have in mind 3 fields that I have interest in venturing namely Agriculture, Automotive and Contraction. Although I have lack knowledge in them, I believe I can work hard to achieve this dream.

Therefore I am posting here seek for all your inputs in planning field to step into. Which department/field that has present and future needs?

Thank you.

Best regards,
Arulthas.

I would choose agriculture if I have the choice.

Food is the foundation of everything. If you can produce huge amount of food with low cost, you are the king. Food may not earn as much as automotive or any other industry but we can't run away from food.

Buy 100 acres of Palm Oil plantation and then you can retire for the rest of your life. But, the problem is you need the capital to do this.

Let's focus on agriculture, be it food or oil palm.

Recently I notice government are focusing more into agriculture and biotechnology. Is there any kind or program in place where we can participate? I also heard that government is encouraging unemployed graduates to venture into agriculture.

If anybody has any information concerning this matter, kindly do the needful help to publish here for everyone benefits.

Thank you.

If you want to know the future, look at Taiwan. Taiwan is more advanced than Malaysia. And, most of the farmer are small farmers. If you study most of the trend of agriculture and food in Malaysia (aquaculture, flower growing, bakery and so on), you will find that Malaysia tend to follow what Taiwan is doing. The pattern seem to be

Japan --> Korea --> Taiwan --> Malaysia -> Thailand / Indonesia /Vietnam

So, Taiwan agriculture technology seem to more adaptable in Malaysia. When it is too labor intensive and cost too much to use (land cost too) in Taiwan, it is still workable in Malaysia. That kind of agriculture seem to be doing well in Malaysia. You might want to migrate some of the Taiwan stuff to Malaysia.

People who went to Chinese school and graduated from Taiwan universities will have better connections in this area.

Biotechnology -> I have no idea what Malaysia will be capable of doing.
