Features: A career
I-way |
![Internet Ventures]() The moniker
Jobstreet that Mark Chang coined for his
fledging e-commerce start-up back in 1997 was
built on a desire to be the human capital of the
world, not unlike Wall Street which is the
global hub for finance. Laying the foundation on
a simple computing structure kept cost down and
Chang closer to realizing his
dream.

News: Sanmina-SCI to
Make IBM PCs in Penang |
![Electronic Manufacturing Svcs]() In
a bid to cut cost and enhance logistics
efficiency, IBM Corp has relocated part of its
desktop PC manufacturing activities from
Shenzhen, China to Penang, Malaysia.
The
move signals a reversal of fortune for Penang,
Malaysia's "Silicon Island", which in recent
years has faced serious loss of fresh foreign
investment for its mainstay electronic
components manufacturing to the burgeoning
Chinese economy.
IBM joins other
manufacturers such as Dell Computer Corp, Intel
Corp, and Advanced Micro Devices Inc that
continue to invest in Penang, while hedging
their bets with operations in
China.

Features: HSBC: An
expedient banker |
![Banking]() LONG and windy
queues that often spill out of the building into
the main thoroughfare of Kuala Lumpur no longer
dominate the scene at HSBC Banking Berhad.
Intelligent machines and attentive bank
executives gradually replaced all 88 (teller)
counters taking up three floors of premium space
at the bank’s main office located at Lebuh
Ampang.
Years of hiving off routine
tasks to automated teller machines (ATMs)
allowed the bank to concentrate on increasing
its consumer and corporate market share through
personal service over time. Providing one-on-one
service for customers opening bank accounts or
signing up loans earned HSBC Malaysia over US$1
billion in new mortgages for last year alone.
Such a feat would have not been possible
without business acumen, brilliant foresight and
careful planning. Facing stiff competition from
other financial institutions here, the
foreign-owned bank has had to innovate to retain
its clientele as well as bring in new customers.
Indeed the venerable banker was already quietly
laying the foundation from the early days.

Features: Diaspora:
Roger Wilkinson |
![Profiles]() On his first
foreign assignment, Roger Wilkinson found
himself in the middle of four cyclones and a
military coup in Fiji. For Wilkinson, now chief
executive officer of US-based risk and insurance
brokerage Marsh in South East Asia, the mid-80s
baptism by fire kindled his ambition and sense
of adventure.
"Opportunities are abundant
for our business in places like Indonesia and
Vietnam, as the economic potential is high. It
is not like this back home. Our business is not
as sophisticated in New Zealand," says
Christchurch-born Wilkinson, who has spent 29
years with the company.
His experiences
in Fiji taught him the importance of being true
to himself and stood him in good stead when the
firm asked him to move to Indonesia in
1999.
