Hello, everyone! Let's start our #thread on #child #entrepreneurs, both in #Malaysia and abroad.

We'll talk about the success stories as well as how to foster their development 😊 Let's go! Feel free to add on to the thread with your own opinion and sharing.
Latest in Malaysia is the story of Ferris. Ferris merupakan usahawan cilik yang terpengaruh secara positif dengan siri Upin dan Ipin! It's good to see how entrepreneurship in an animated series can piqued children and their interest in entrepreneurship!

If you ask if there are more of such stories in #Malaysia, there are!

11 y.o Elisa Ahmad Sayuti and her friends got inspired by both their participation in Kelab Usahawan Cilik as well as seeing their parents who are also #entrepreneurs!

Mahathir Mohammad at @CFR_org. First question on Chinese economic influence in #Malaysia. "Previous government borrowed too much money."
Says he explained to China that Najib was the problem and not Beijing. But now he's talking about payment pathways privileging Chinese SoEs over local contractors. "That is not good for us. Malaysian contractors have no role to play."
"Colonialism can take many forms. Countries can be subject to pressure through economic systems and that is a form of colonialism also." - Mahathir

Hello, everyone and welcome back to our weekly #GEMChats! This week, we'll discuss the results of the poll on whether #celebrities make successful #entrepreneurs!

Let's begin, shall we?

#startup #womenentrepreneur #business #showbiz
So recently @KylieJenner sparked a heated debate on how celebrities are successful at entrepreneurship when she was announced to become the youngest self-made #billionaire ever.

cnbc.com/2018/07/11/kyl…

#KUWTK
Some feel strongly that she only dethroned #MarkZuckerberg from that position because she is part of the #Kardashian and her #entrepreneurial venture has multi-level of safety net and it allows her to #scaleup at an exponential rate.

Let's discuss this thread in this week's #GEMChats for #entrepreneurs. What are some common mistakes that #startups, especially #fashion startups make that makes them less viable?
Let's breakdown the mistakes into sections of a business. These sections can take form within the Operational, Connectivity and Knowledge aspect of the #startup business. #entrepreneurship #womenentrepreneur

So let's discuss this. Feel free to mention us and let's talk!
Firstly, Knowledge.

Studies have found that 3 out of 4 #startups fail. Wall Street Journal (@WSJ) reported that fashion is one of the most difficult industries.

The lack of knowledge prior to starting and while running a #fashion startup can be a costly mistake.

The first trip abroad that I paid for, was to #Malaysia and #Singapore. I've never understood the average Nigerian's obsession with "Jand" and "Yankee". So, as soon as I could afford to travel abroad, I chose somewhere exotic. #Travel #TravelBae
When I was growing up, I had a strong image of who I wanted to be in life. I wanted to be exposed and have distinct encounters. I wanted to explore unusual things and meet unusual people. #TravelBae
#Singapore & #Malaysia did that for me. I met people I wouldn't ordinarily connect with and listened to them talk about their society and daily lives. I returned from the trip knowing there was a world bigger than #Nigeria. There were people with national problems too. #TravelBae

Let's discuss this topic for this week's #GEMChats on #entrepreneurs and #entrepreneurship.

This week's topic is #Venture #Capitals and what is funding like for #womenentrepreneurs!

Please follow us, RT, reply and Like our #thread to discuss this topic.
In June 2017, @HarvardBiz published an article questioning the discrepancy in VC funding for #entrepreneurs of different genders.

In the US, #female entrepreneurs own 38% of the businesses in the country yet receive only about 2% of all venture funding in the whole country!
Some of you answered the poll that the reason for this phenomenon is that there is a lack of female VCs.

The #data however speaks otherwise; the number of female VCs has increased to 7% from 3% in 2014 and yet the funding gap has only increased.

Why does this happen?

Today, @USTreasury #OFAC slapped terrorism supporter designation on Mahan Travel and Tourism, a #Malaysia-based company, for acting on behalf of Mahan Air of #Iran. treasury.gov/resource-cente…
“Mahan Air is the airline of choice for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force, facilitating its support to terrorism across the Middle East." says @stevenmnuchin1.
"Mahan’s regular flights to Syria are used to prop up the Assad regime and deliver weapons, foreign fighters, and Iranian operatives who sow violence and unrest across the region,” adds @stevenmnuchin1.

Orang Malaysia sebenarnya berpotensi besar untuk jadi "multilingual" (mahir 3-6 bahasa) malah boleh jadi "polyglot" atau "hyperglot" (mahir 10-20 bahasa).
Sebab kita dari kecil dah didedahkan kepada pelbagai bahasa dari rumpun etnik yang berbeza, otak kita lebih mudah adapt kepada bahasa asing berbanding warga negara lain. Lainlah kalau kau membesar di Canada atau Australia jadi kau hanya pandai bahasa Anglais saja.

Let's discuss yesterday's polls and begin our discussion on youth entrepreneurship with #GEMChats

This is a thread.
In a summary report of an OECD and the European
Commission seminar in 2014 , two things were key points:

1. #unemployment was at 10.9% in 2013 and double for #youth : 23.4%

2. 45% of youth prefer self-employment to
#employment, whereas 37% of adults prefer self-employment.
In Malaysia, MIDF reports find youth unemployment to be high - hitting a record 10.8% last year, attributed to a skills mismatch.

This is a significant 40.5% of total unemployment in #Malaysia.

So what can be done?

Beberapa hari ini saya datang 'mood' mengulas pasal industri hiburan Jepun dan Korea Selatan.

Jangan pula korang ambil kesempatan untuk hentam Melayu. Tujuan saya cuma nak memberi pencerahan tentang konsep 'soft power' sahaja.
Dalam hubungan antarabangsa, industri hiburan atau budaya popular kalau digunakan secara strategik, ia akan membantu negara memprojek kuasanya.

Esok, Tun M akan memulakan lawatan kerja (working visit) ke Jepun dengan memberi ucaptama di 24th International Conference on the Future of Asia anjuran Nihon Keizai Shimbun (Nikkei), akhbar ekonomi Jepun tersohor.
Sejak conference itu diadakan bermula tahun 1998, Tun tak pernah miss kecuali 4 kali (2005, 2007, 2008 dan 2011).

Selepas conference Tun akan berjumpa dengan Shinzo Abe. Kebetulan pula ayah Shinzo Abe (Shintaro Abe) merupakan Menteri Luar Jepun di zaman Tun dulu dari 1982-1986.

Den perhati je orang debat pasal HSR di alam maya. Den tak ambil port sangat, sebab den tahu perdebatan ini tidak akan selesai dalam masa 2-3 hari.
Perdebatan ini sebenarnya melambangkan pertembungan dua fikrah ekonomi yang berbeza: satu mementingkan penggunaan perbelanjaan defisit (deficit spending) untuk merangsang ekonomi, satu lagi menekankan perbelanjaan berhemah (austerity) untuk tujuan kemapanan ekonomi.

Adakah Melayu itu pendatang?

Ini adalah untaian. Sila baca dengan tenang.

#Melayu #Malay #Sejarah #History #Malaysia #Indonesia #Brunei #thread
Tiap kali bila ada munculnya isu Hak Bumiputera entah kenapa salah satu perkara yang akan dipertikaikan ialah asal-usul orang Melayu itu sendiri dan sejarah mereka.
Tidak mengapa, di sini saya akan tulis sejarah ringkas mengenai asal-usul orang Melayu. Ini mungkin akan menjawab soalan sama ada "Melayu itu pendatang?" atau tidak.

Tengok timeline penuh dengan ulasan tentang hutang negara, dari ulasan pakar hingga ulasan macam pakar hingga ulasan kalah pakar. Tangan den pun terasa gatal nak tulis, tapi memandangkan ini bulan Ramadan, jadi usahlah menimbulkan perbalahan.
Cuma, sebelum berbincang dan berdebat berkenaan hutang negara, ada beberapa konsep asas yang perlu difahami.

Terbaca cadangan bernas ini yang sedang menular di FB dan disukai oleh ramai generasi "I’m not XXX, I’m Malaysian". (sumber: facebook.com/psychdragon/po…)

#thread #Malaysia
Dah baca 50 kali pun masih tak dapat hadam. Kalau Bahasa Melayu tak boleh dipanggil Bahasa Melayu disebabkan ia "no longer reserved for Malays", rasanya Bahasa Inggeris ("English") pun kena tukar nama kot memandangkan ia bukan lagi hak eksklusif orang England ("English people").
Kena tukar jadi "United Kingdom Language" sebab takut orang Wales, Scotland dan Northern Ireland terasa. Tapi kalau buat macam itu kang USA, Canada, Australia pula yang terasa.

Menurut Abdullah Mohamed, teratai merupakan perlambangan kosmologi, yakni tingkat-tingkat alam terbentuk yang bersandarkan pada hakikat ketuhanan-kealaman.
Kudup bunga teratai itu dilambangkan sebagai Abstract Oneness, atau 'kanz mahfiyy', atau Hakikat Muhammadiyah - segala-galanya terhimpun dalam satu perbendaharaan.

Don’t worry about #Malaysia ’s #GST repeal, higher #Oil and sales tax will help. #ge14. The BN lost control of government. Dr. #MahathirMohamad stated that he will repeal the goods and services tax (GST) and replace it with the sales and services tax (SST). Why? @chedetofficial
#Najib passed the #GST to offset declining revenue as dependence on #oil backfired when oil prices collapsed. It's a tax on the final consumer & generates more tax revenue than the SST. In 2017, GST was 25% of the total tax revenue and 3.3% of GDP - key reason people are negative
But what's key is the rise of oil, which raises oil tax. So #GST becomes less key! Look at the relationship b/n oil and oil tax. Very strong! We assume oil rises to 73 (basically now) & 10% increase of subsidy, & SST revenue (less than GST). Let's look at what happens to fiscal

Now that Mahathir's back in power, let's revisit his 1991 objective of making #Malaysia a rich country by 2020.

We're 2 years away & the economy is just halfway there.

At the current growth rate, it gets to $20k gdp/capita by 2030. Mahathir will be 104 years old.

Isu yang paling hangat ketika ini ialah kes pembunuhan Dr. Fadi M. Al-Batsh, pensyarah UniKL dan juga ahli kanan kumpulan Hamas ketika beliau ingin mengimamkan solat subuh.

Tenggelam berita-berita tentang PRU.
Sisi-sisi positifnya: kita masih berprihatin dengan isu yang lebih besar yang menimpa umat seakidah. Kita masih mempunyai perasaan "outrage" terhadap pembunuhan pejuang pembebasan tanah suci Islam.

Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), Putera Mahkota Saudi berkata, "kami menyebarkan fahaman Wahhabi atas permintaan sekutu (baca: US) untuk menentang Soviet Union" (نشرنا الوهابية بطلب من الحلفاء لمواجهة الاتحاد السوفييتي).
Benda tu memang betul pun. Sesiapa yang mempunyai fahaman paling asas tentang geopolitik pun tahu Saudi ialah sekutu US, dan kebanyakan masa fahaman Wahhabi/Salafi hanya digunakan sebagai alat untuk memajukan kepentingan bersama Saudi-US.

Mueller already was probing attempts by the UAE to " buy political influence" by supporting Trump’s campaign.🤔

Mueller is probing Nader’s role in WH policymaking & whether UAE had influence on Trump's decision-making.🤨 2/
Mueller's focus on Nader could also prompt an examination of how money from MULTIPLE countries has flowed through and influenced DC during the Trump era.🤨

SO MUCH FOR DRAINING THE SWAMP‼️🤬 3/
