Wow, its been quite a long time since I wrote last. Been a lots busy since early in the year. The MDC oopss - sorry MDeC has been going through some changes lately. We've got a new CEO! Yes, Datuk Mohamed Arif Nun has left the house and enter - Mr. Badlisham Ghazali, CEO MDeC. Transitions been good - lately - been going allright for us in the CMD. Alot of work - but its a positive outcome for us.

Recently we launched the MSC Creative Multimedia Content Initiative (also known as M-CMCI), a program to push forward the creative multimedia content industry in Malaysia. Hope the country steps up and moves forward! The numbers are sexy - The Media Entertainment Market is US644 Billion Worldwide (PWC). How can we make Malaysia sexy enough for the world market?

Broad strategies are being put in place to create the necessary momentum for us to succeed - its very much a long term plan - we need all the inner strength we can get. These strategies address several areas like IP Creation, Funding initiatives, Ensuring growth and sustainabilities of companies, even shared infrastructure. When we get down to specifics - this is where I have sleepless nights - there's so much to do.

We should be announcing a program soon under this initiative - called the IP Creator Challenge - Time to Stand up and Be Counted Malaysians. Think it should be sometime late next week. My biggest fear is that we don't have the ideas we are so proud of telling people. When push comes to shove - when you're asked to put your thoughts on paper - you back down and disappear into the crowd. I hope my fear will go away....
