00:00Above Creative Events Malaysia, Sendirian Perlman!
00:11Give it up, ladies and gentlemen, a big round of applause!
00:14What started perhaps a few years ago as dispute over trade deficits and intellectual property
00:20has now become a full-blown battle over technological supremacy and economic system.
00:27Tarif has been slapped, exports banned declared, supply chains rerouted.
00:34But history has taught us, or rather has warned us,
00:37when a country chooses economic isolation in the name of security,
00:43it often ends up with neither.
00:46Strategic over-control, like the Ming's hygiene, often bagpires.
00:51But what about us? All of us here in Malaysia, what about you?
00:55I know it is tempting, in a time such as this, to justify cost-cutting,
01:02to protect our own interests, our most immediate interests,
01:06and to close our doors to others.
01:08In fact, our experience showed that the more we have invested in long-term good practices and values,
01:17the more resilient our society is against the pandemic,
01:21the better we can survive the disease, and the faster we bounce back.
01:25I think, my dear friends, it is the same with ESG, especially in time of crisis.
01:31Companies like yourself know very well that risk management is not a luxury.
01:37And hence, ESG should not be seen merely as an expense, but rather as an insurance.
01:46As we deal with geopolitical and geoeconomic pressures from all sides, literally.
01:51Companies which have a more purposeful, sustainable, and long-term plan,
01:58will likely emerge as champions.
02:01These are the sorts of companies which will gain market confidence, trust, and reputation.
02:09The economy model for the last 50 years have benefited our country and all of us.
02:14We get investments to come in, build their factories, manufacture their products.
02:19It was a low cost, low price model, like to say.
02:23But the question before all of us now is,
02:26can this model be sustainable in the next 50 years?
02:30I think Malaysia must rethink our economy model
02:34if we are to survive that binary geopolitical and geoeconomic challenges of direct global competition on one hand,
02:44and superpower protectionism on the other hand.
02:47We need to invest in our homegrown, what I call 4T, talents, technology, things,
02:55basically products and services, and trademarks, our brand and our patronage.
02:59Fundamentally, we need to invest in long-term strategy
03:03to enhance the value of our economy towards people and environment.
03:08Finally, allow me to thank and commend your organizer,
03:12Star Media Group, and your sponsor, or CBC Bank.
03:16Let us give them a round of applause
03:18for taking this very active and proactive role
03:22in driving the national conversation forward in terms of ESG.
03:28Your efforts in amplifying awareness, encouraging corporate accountability,
03:33and celebrating excellences in ESG are nothing short of commendable.
03:38Once again, let us give them a well-reserved round of applause.
03:43Thank you. That's it.
03:46Thank you very much.
03:47Thank you for being on stage as we present to you our ESG Positive Impact Awards winners for 2024.
