If u throw a stone at youngster there..8 out of 10 is double degree or master but really agree wif u is just showy only.

Haiz..no choice. Lifestyle comfortable liao then sure no competition spirit

Time to join forex

Nope.. banking still use mainframe a lot.
To cut cost, they just move from z/os to z/linux.

still IBM money maker..
1 Mainframe sold let the seller off for 1yrs holiday..

Nope, freedom of speech. Besides, I'm sure the majority of Malaysians would prefer western MNCs to get out.

Brace for impact

Salary stagnanted since 2000, goods and services increase in prices, unstable political scene and now this covid-19

This is just the beginning

I've seen more proliants than any of ibm server stuff for the past 4-5 years

Even job and assignment robbed by this indians, uncle auntie relek saje, compliant abd smiling. Pity small fry fresh from univ full of fire spirit pun kena doused by these ppl. And the scary is these high mgmt ppl protect satu sama lain, buddy buddy.

its IBM own bet, they gamble on future of business being clouds and services rather than hardware

Not sure about current price. In late 90's AS400 was about rm500k, mainframe over Rm1million. Today mainframe Z series berapa?

IBM is declining anyway. Probably move more to cost cutting measures.

Can get better skilled labour for cheaper price elsewhere.

Good, we need to focus on morality and spirituality. All these materialistic pursuit is useless. I'm sure the Govt will provide.

And the best part these uncle auntie have time to luff at fb and their staff poor english. If their staff english bad not at uk level, send for class la. Kan mereka tu mnc. My ex mnc compeni pun send some to english class and those staff persevere and shine with their core job skill, not english.

Clouds store vital info in overseas, undersea cable issue won't get access anymore. Hackers or internal espionage would steal those info. During MCO last year, whole world experience slow access including banks. They want to shift everything to US on virtual?

Just kick out all MNCs. Only local SME and GLCs left. No need English competency anymore. If customer and supplier cannot speak BM, no need to deal with them.

In fact, LYN forum should also be given ultimatum... why use English? Give deadline, switch default language to BM within next 3 years. Only specific forum to use English.

We in Malaysia. Patut guna Bahasa Melayu. LYN forum tak patriotik langsung.
