Speaking at #Pernas, Kuala Lumpur at the #ASEAN Transformation Forum 2024 graced by the Malaysian 9th Prime Minister YB Dato' Sri Ismail Sabr Yaakob as Guest-of-Honour and keynote address. 1. AI Disruption and Jobs Displacement Have spoken on #AI disruption and #jobs displacement issues in ASEAN. Automation is displacing manual and tedious processes, while Artificial Intelligence is automating knowledge intensive tasks. Throughout history all technology disruption tends to bring better producivity and nett job creation (new jobs - displaced jobs). In 1820s with the advent of individual automotive , there was a #disruption to steam train as defacto transportation mode. 2. Nett Job Creation from Historical Disruption There was huge job losses at train conductor, technicians, but the automotive industry brought in new jobs across automotive engineers, production managers, assemblers etc which provided nett job creation. 3. Work vs Job vs Task vs Skill #Work is the outcome created for example in achieving $10m sales. #Job is the work human does (business development director) to achieve the outcome. #Tasks are specific activities (marketing campaign, advertisement) done to achieve the sales outcome. #Skill is the competence to enable us to achieve the outcome (html, design). Task can be automated, Job may be displaced but Work will still need to be done by human. To future-proof ASEAN workforce, there is a need to continually upgrading #workers' Skills to remain pertinent. 4. Skills Centric Vs Academic Qualification hiring In arresting the disruption challenges, there is also need to shift towards skills-centric instead of qualification-based hiring. 5. Media A well organized by @Malaysia Digital Chamber of Commerce with publicity reported by various Malaysian media: The Star. https://lnkd.in/gpp4h-wa Yahoo. https://lnkd.in/gFF83Mcw Malay Mail. https://lnkd.in/gF7EzGNJ #malaysiabusiness #aseanbusiness #Singaporeglobal #Singaporebusiness

Global Catalyst Advisory CEO, Victor Tay, highlighted at the media interview on how outsourcing of the most carbon intensive value chain to Asia (e.g. factory, production, mining, palm oil extraction, etc) have resulted in disproportionate accountability to carbon emission. This has been much raised by Indian PM Modi on climate justice in COP26. Unless greening the value chain is a joint responsibility, the outsourced counterpart in Asia will not be able to shoulder the cost of sustainable initiatives. To this end, to balance the cost of implementation, perhaps the incentives of carbon credits can be shared by the entire value chain instead of the region. #climatejustice #carboncredits #sustainability #Asiabusiness #impactfinancing Treasury Today Group

Forbes Business Council asked the expert panel to discuss "Why Sustainability can be a Strategic Business Advantage". Am privileged to be selected as a member of the Forbes expert panel. We distilled distinct reasons on why #sustainability is the new imperative for businesses worldwide: 1. #MissionaryPurpose - Focusing on sustainability expand the company's target audience. it gives employees a purpose and the opportunity to do good, uniting the world around a cause. 2. #LevelPlayingField - As I advocate for a level playing field between the David and Goliath of businesses, sustainability can help narrow the divide between the large and small medium enterprises (SMEs). 3. Long-Term Viability and #RiskMitigation - Sustainability is a core tenet of future-forward business. Sustainability is a way to maintain resilience in the marketplace. 4. Focus on #FutureBuyers - Sustainability is backed by genuine Ethos of good for people is good for business. 89% of #GenZ believes the world is at a tipping point in responding to climate change, which remains their top concern. 4. #SustainableFinancing - My personal philosophy in using blended financing for sustainability. While sustainability to some advocates is the moral compass and strategic beacon, given the increasing strengthening of high-quality carbon projects, it has also provided a new context of monetising with #carboncredits gained. Sustainable Financing syndicating #privatepublicpartnership blending #governmentgrants, #privatecapital and carbon credits will narrow the financial than between the large and small enterprises. 5. Access to #InnovativeTechnology - adopting an eco-friendly stance allow early access to Innovative sustainable technologies. Early adoption can position a company as a pioneer in generating these advancements to improve efficiency and cutting edge solutions to customers. Valuable #IntellectualProperties may be secured in the process. 6. Strengthened #CompanyReputation - Eco friendly firms meet society's expectation for a cleaner planet. it appeals to investors, employees and customers who prioritize ethics. Sustainability strengthens reputation and stakeholder support through forward-thinking approach. Attached the published article of the Expert Panel's opinions with 18 compelling reasons for businesses. #carboncredits #impactfinancing #greenfinancing #globalbusiness #Singaporebusiness #ASEANbusiness
