‘UEC recognition to boost human capital devt’
Kadim (left) presents a memento to Abang Johari. KUCHING: Sarawak’s recognition of Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) augurs well for the production of human capital needed to help Sarawak rise with a strong economy within the nation as well as in the Asean region. In highlighting this yesterday, Housing Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg said this major move showed the state government’s commitment to spearhead the development of education in the state. “Human capital is undoubtedly the most important asset for the successful development of any economy,” he told a press conference after opening the 2nd International Conference on Contemporary Issues in Accounting and Finance (CoCIAF) 2015 at Hilton Hotel here. He shared that members of the State Cabinet, setting aside emotions and sentiments, gave their full support to Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem in his decision to recognise the UEC. CoCIAF 2015 is jointly organised by Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas), Securities Industry Development Corporation (SIDC) and Malaysian Institute of Accountancy (MIA). “Sarawak can build a strong economy with prudent management by taking into account the plus factor (natural resources), provided that we are able to grow and pool our talents,” he said, emphasising the reason for the government to demand greater autonomy in education. Abang Johari, who is also Tourism minister, pointed out one of the strengths of Chinese school system is its great emphasis on mathematics, which is crucial for the business world. “Relating to today’s conference, figures and data are key tools in accounting and finance. Forward-looking predictive data and analysis are thus important to aid businesses in their decision making,” he said. Furthermore, he added, Mandarin language which has risen in usage and English remaining an essential language were important and powerful tools for political, social and economic exchanges in this increasingly globalised world. “Language is key to engagement in the business world. Sarawak will see a brighter future if we can rise to this challenge,” he said, noting that China is now the second economic power in the world after the US. Like other countries in the world, he added, Malaysia was facing various challenges due to the uncertain global economy. However, he assured that the country had strong fundamentals, with its economy integrated internationally. “Malaysia is one of the top trading nations in the world with our major trading partners including Japan, Singapore and the US. We are not relying on ourselves but also what is happening around the world,” he explained. Looking at the current global economic development, Abang Johari foresees the importance of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) bloc, especially the infrastructure bank mooted by these five nations led by China. “This bank is just like World Bank or IMF, the moment this bank is established, the Chinese Yuan will evolve and become an important currency,” he said. Meanwhile, the three-day conference themed ‘Theory Meets Practice’ serves as an important platform for academicians, researchers, industry practitioners and policy makers to interact and exchange viewpoints and research findings on contemporary issues in Accounting and Finance. It is attended by some 100 delegates from various countries including Iran, Japan, Indonesia, Myanmar, Bangladesh and Malaysia. Earlier in his speech, Abang Johari emphasised that Unimas played an important role in enhancing and developing world-class training programmes to suit the needs of Sarawak’s domestic industry. “In this respect, Unimas must develop several programmes to increase the level of expertise in the local industry. The course structure must be well received by both the students and industries,” he said. “At the international level, Unimas must take steps to collaborate with other training institutions in other developed nations to mutually recognise the courses,” he added. He commended the conference for presenting an excellent opportunity for participants to crystallise a common vision for the future of accounting and finance fraternity. “Make the most of this conference to learn more about the latest issues, share your experiences and take valuable lessons home with you. With your active participation, I believe you will benefit tremendously,” he told the participants. The conference brings together a collection of 67 research papers from various Accounting and Finance disciplines and research areas. Altogether, there are 12 concurrent sessions arranged according to common themes pertaining to Economics, Corporate Governance, Business Management, Auditing and Earnings Management, Public Finance, Islamic Economics and Finance as well as Accounting and Finance tracks. The opening ceremony witnessed the exchange of Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Unimas and Cooperative University, Thanlyin, Myanmar. Among the activities that can be expected from this MoU are student exchange programme, academic staff exchange programme, joint research projects and consultancy and other activities of mutual interest of both parties.

Tourism and Housing Minister, Datuk Amar Abang Haji Johari Tun Openg stated this yesterday while officiating the three-day International Conference on Contemporary Issues in Accounting and Finance (CoCiaF) 2015 at Hilton Hotel here. "This is the reason why the government wants autonomy in education, and with that, we have recognised the Unified Examination Certificate. "There are a lot of successful businessmen in Sarawak who are UEC holders," he said. Johari added that as the UEC holders were well versed in Mandarin, they were able to engage with the Chinese market. China, he said, was now the world's second largest economy. "That is why engagement between you and buyers, you and your clients is very important. "And when you are well versed in universal languages such as English and Mandarin, that gives you certain strengths in any businesses, "he added.

X-Fab Sarawak keen to work with universities on research and development
Mike Young KUCHING: X-Fab Sarawak is looking to establish collaborations with local universities and other higher learning institutes to aid its research and development, while sharing technology and engineering advice in return. Its chief executive officer Mike Young said X-Fab – the world’s leading foundry group for analog/mixed-signal semiconductor applications – is very much interested in establishing close working relationships with universities by opening its doors for research and development initiatives. “Our policy is to look at all universities, we want to reach out to all higher learning institutes to tell them what we are all about and at the same time looking for graduates with engineering and science background. Establishing close relationship with all these universities is key to aid our research and development. “We are always on the lookout for graduates from all local universities to join our team. As we expand our operation, our growth is going to come from young and energetic graduates keen to work in the industry,” he said after the opening of Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas) STEM EnCon 2015 here yesterday. X-Fab Sarawak is one of six engineering and technology industry players which has signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with Unimas to collaborate on research and development. The university is looking to synergise its Engineering Faculty with the objective of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education in a bid to play a significant role in promoting and developing technology in the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE). “I’m very pleased that we have established collaboration with Unimas for the next three years on reducing molecule nitrogen level. If we are not able to collaborate with universities, we will have to invest quite a large amount of money to put up a plant. We are content that Unimas is going to help us,” Young said of the agreement. He also said it was important for X-Fab, being involved in a high-tech industry, to work with universities. “We make microchips application for worldwide consumers, thus need constant influx of high-skilled graduates in electronic, physics and engineering. It is not only for this collaboration in the molecule nitrogen reduction but also to establish close relationship with universities, where students and graduates can come into an industry that is dynamic and very interesting.” On the collaboration, Unimas would come out with research and post work at its own research facilities. X-Fab, from time to time, will liaise with representatives from the university on research and development. “It is a joint collaboration. Small projects will be established at Unimas. There is going to be a dynamic representing both parties,” Young said. The collaboration will see X-Fab working closely for three years with the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of the university’s Engineering Faculty.
