  • Cutting through the BS

    I’ve seen some folks comment on how this program’s interviewers can be pretty nasty, negative, etc…and that is exactly why I love this program. Tough questions help us learn what someone really thinks.

    As a corporate internal auditor I have so much to learn from their style.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Scicom's Turnaround: A Call Centre Or Concession Play?
Q: What is the ideal revenue mix going forward?
Aiming for 75-80% of business from enterprise solutions and GovTech, with about 20% from contact centers, reflecting a deliberate move away from pure BPO while maintaining profitable revenue streams.
Scicom's Turnaround: A Call Centre Or Concession Play?
Q: So are you a BPO company or a tech company now?
The company has evolved into a digital enterprise solutions provider, integrating AI and GovTech offerings, with a focus on data-driven services and long-term government contracts, while still maintaining a BPO backbone for scale.
Negeri Sembilan: Will the “Blue Wave’ Travel Far?
Q: Ben, do you think the blue wave is real and how far can it go?
The wave appears real and more like a turquoise mix of blue and green; Barisan Nasional has recovered to near 2018 levels on the Malay front, aided by the coalition with Perikatan, and they have started pulling in younger voters, though sustaining it at the federal level remains the key challenge.
Pekat Powers Up for the Main Market
Q: Are you going to implement a formal dividend payout policy as you transition to the Main Market?
There is no dividend policy yet; the focus is on building recurring income and asset-backed growth, with potential for shareholder rewards in the future as fixed assets and recurring income streams mature.
Pekat Powers Up for the Main Market
Q: Other than the prestige of moving onto the main market, what does that move tangibly unlock for Pekat?
The move unlocks access to institutional funds and signals a more scalable, professionally governed company, enabling Pekat to pursue larger opportunities while reinforcing credibility in the eyes of investors.
