00:00The Kazana Mega Transform 2025 marks its 20th year as a leading platform for ideas, dialogue and action shaping Malaysia's future.
00:14As KMF celebrates two decades, Kazana remains committed to building resilience, unlocking opportunities and shaping a sustainable future for Malaysia.
00:25Just like the theme, which is the grasshopper and the ant, we have to be like the ant to prepare ourselves for the future.
00:32So that's why innovation data is very very important when you want to talk about risk.
00:39We're facing with so much uncertainty today with the geopolitics and the changes in macro, so I guess the main takeaway is how do we face it?
00:47And we face it with humility, we face it with imagination.
00:52That's far behind economic concentration.
00:56One way to face uncertainty as an investor is to make sure that you diversify the risk.
01:02So in other words, you don't put all your eggs in one basket and that's our philosophy.
01:05We do have to diversify the risk, understanding where the risks are and making sure it's spread.
