The plan highlights several long-term plans and initiatives that would encourage the adoption of a circular economy by both the public and local industries. 27 Advisory is proud to play a role in building Malaysia's circular economy, having contributed to the development of this blueprint. #27Advisory #circulareconomy #rebuildinghumanity #rebuildinghumanity https://lnkd.in/gA2WfGJP

Exciting news! We’re kicking off a project to tackle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the agricultural sector, which accounts for about 18.4% of global emissions. Activities like deforestation, crop burning, and soil management significantly contribute to this. While agriculture is a key player, our initiative aims to implement low-carbon farming practices to help reduce the sector's footprint and contribute to global climate goals. #Sustainability #LowCarbon #ClimateAction #27Advisory #IRGA

The Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) project is a mega-infrastructure development that has been in the making for nearly two decades. Originally raised as a proposed project under the Malaysian Governments Economic Transformation Program, the KLHSR was highlighted for its potential to significantly improve the dynamism within Kuala Lumpur, notwithstanding the significant financial and commercial advantages it would bring to both the Singaporean and Malaysian economies. While strategic planning for the project began post 2013 after a formal agreement was reached between the Heads of State of both countries, the KLHSR ran into a series of obstacles during its implementation stage surrounding key contractual terms. Unable to reach a consensus at this juncture, the project was formally terminated in January of 2021, much to the chagrin of both central stakeholders and the public. However, during the launch of the Land-Vaccinated Trave Lane scheme in 2021, the viability of the project was once again discussed by the leaders of both countries, with an interest expressed in broadening the scope of the project and connecting to international South-East Asian rail network. Last year, MYHSR Corp, the official project delivery vehicle for the HSR called for tender proposals for the development of the project and as of 31st January 2024, 31 firms across seven local and international consortia have submitted their proposals. Can the newly revived KL-Singapore HSR project succeed where its predecessor had failed? We address these and other questions in our featured article of the month.

Over the past few weeks, we've been asking our followers to share their insights on the approach that their organisation take with regards to the adoption of new forms of technology. Whether its a new task management system or the introduction of an entirely new cloud-server system into the company's IT infrastructure, we're been curious as to the extent to which organisations are interested in adopting new technologies as well as how inclined employees are to utilise these emerging technologies, such as the likes of chatbot content generators and other useful tools. As we've already touched upon, the decision to invest in a new piece of technology is no minor consideration. The initial costs involved, the period required for training and integration, as well as the true long-term benefits that can be accrued from the adoption of the technology all need to be weighed out in kind before the leap can be made. In our final survey question in this 27 Advisory research analytics series, we're asking business owners in particular, what amount of their overall revenue they would likely spend on the adoption of a new form of technology into their organisation. As always, do drop your answers into the poll below, and thanks to everyone who's provided feedback thus far. You input matters! #27Advisory #WeeklySurvey #TechnologyAdoption #RevenueSpending #ResearchAnalytics

According to recently published research by the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), Malaysia is on a pathway to becoming a major economic powerhouse over the next few years. In 2023, the country registered RM 329.5 billion in total approved investments, a bulk of which constituted foreign investments. A large portion of these were from the Netherlands, the US, the Cayman Islands and China, constituting 57.2% or RM 188.4 billion. This diverse inflow of foreign investments underscores the country's global appeal as a commercial and economic destination. With GDP growth projected at 4-5% in 2024, the Malaysian Government is aiming for a growth rate of 8-10% in approved investments, with targets being set considerably higher than the previous year. In tandem with the country's growth, ASEAN countries are anticipated to undergo robust economic growth, placing Malaysia in a favorable position to attract greater FDI investments. Economic experts foresee a surge of FDI inflows into Malaysia, positioning the country to compete effectively with its regional counterparts. This underscores the country's potential as an effective investment destination within the ASEAN region and emphasises the importance of maintaining its competitiveness and appeal to foreign investors amid regional economic growth. The anticipate upsurge in both local and foreign investment is expected to drive Malaysia's economy to grow by up to 5% in 2024. Malaysia's Strategic Plan for 2024 aims to drive economic growth, foster collaboration and accelerate progress towards sustainable development goals. This involves initiatives such as the MADANI Economy, the NIMP 2030, the implementation of major transit infrastructure such as Klang Valley LRT3 and the East Coast Rail Link as well as the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone. These initiatives will foster enhanced collaboration between the private sector and civil society, paving the way for accelerated progress towards sustainable development goals within the nation. #27Advisory #EconomicInsights #InvestmentFlows #MalaysiaMadani #MIDA #SustainableDevelopment

When making the decision to invest in the adoption of a new form of technology, company executives have to weigh out the risks and benefits of doing so in detail before going forward. The initial cost of the investment, the challenges involved in training and implementation, as well as the expected financial and non-financial returns that a company can expect from the technology are all determining factors. The initial choice to invest in the technology adoption however can be driven by various factors, which include suggestions from employees that their company management find ways for improving daily processes to naturally occurring shifts within the industry with regards to the use of certain types of technology. We'd like to hear your thoughts on the subject. What are some of the main catalytic factors that have compelled your organisation's management board to adopt a new form of technology? Let us know by answering our weekly industry poll below and feel free to share your views in the comments section. #27Advisory #IndustyInsights #WeeklyPoll #TechnologyAdoption #Workplaces
