Is Your Company Building Resilience or Just Chasing Compliance? 🎤

We’re still buzzing from the deep insights shared by our President, Adj. Prac. Prof. Cheah Kok Hoong, during his session, “Sustainability in the Malaysian Tech Industry,” at the IA Business Summit 2025!

Our moderator Ms Yvonne Au Yong (ESG & Strategy Advisor, StratX Advisory) expertly guided the session.
Our esteemed panelists includes:
* Datin Lorela Chia (Founding President, MASSCI)
* Simon Wong (Enterprise Business Director, SNS Network)

Top 4 Strategic Insights from the Discussion:
1. Sustainability is a Mindset: Sustainability must come from the heart and is driven by “Conscientious leadership.” Those with more have the obligation to contribute.

2. Cyber Resilience: The consensus was clear: “Cybersecurity is a form of medical insurance.” A small investment in protection (like avoiding phishing threats) is crucial—some protection is better than none.

3. The AI Pivot: We must shift our perspective. The question isn’t whether AI takes away jobs, but how it repurposes them. Technology is a tool, but our ability to adopt and adapt determines its impact.

4. Action Over Stagnation: The panel agreed on the importance of making sustainability a strategic plan, noting that “System make it possible, people make it happen.” We must avoid the trap that “Indispensability is our biggest enemy.”
