  • 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.

Atlas Copco: Engineering SEA's Industrial Future
Q: How is Atlas Copco navigating global headwinds and how does Malaysia sit within that broader strategy?
Khalid explains that SEA is currently more a distribution hub than a manufacturing base, with focus on service leadership, energy efficiency, and selective acquisitions to expand footprint; Malaysia is central to the SEA plan with new facilities and organic growth.
Generational Politics: PKR vs UMNO
Q: Abhinav, what do you want to see change in Malaysian politics?
A more matured bipartisanship and less drama, with a focus on tangible policy outcomes that address bread-and-butter issues and build trust with the electorate.
Generational Politics: PKR vs UMNO
Q: Right, where you are now. Nabil, what about you? What does your trajectory look like?
My trajectory follows a path from activism to party leadership, including joining Ka Adilan, and rising to youth leadership, with a focus on openness and inclusion within a multi-racial party, which guides our current approach toward youth engagement.
Navigating a New Era in Malaysia–Netherlands Relations
Q: Now, when you look back over your time here, how do you think the relationship between Malaysia and the Netherlands has evolved, and where do you see the most significant shift in bilateral dynamics?
Werner notes that both sides have rediscovered each other as useful partners amid shifting geopolitical circumstances, with trade rising and more Dutch companies considering Malaysia as a base; he highlights ongoing efforts like strengthening supply chains and preparing for closer EU–Malaysia trade arrangements as key shifts.
Eckem’s RM15M IPO, Earnings Cyclicality, & Manufacturing Optimism
Q: What will the IPO proceeds be used for?
Proceeds are allocated to expanding the corporate office, warehouse and laboratory, developing rubber product lines, reducing bank borrowings, boosting working capital, and listing expenses.
