This is a page that I am creating after my December 2000 visit to Malaysia. The Internet is fairly exposed there but feedback is that most corporates and businesses are still uncertain as to their ability to make a buck on services and products. The LimKokWing Institute is getting a lot of press, because the founder has just won an award. My visit to the site was rewarded with some quirky design. There are many educational establishments supporting twinning in Malaysia. One of them is INTI who work with Uni of Wollongong. Not Malaysian, I spied the url for Aesop cosmetics at a Jusco stall. Aesop operates from Melbourne (i.e. right here where I live) of all places - curious case of going overseas to see what's on your front door. When I was a student of St. John's the British Council was a place to be. It now has a website.
My Palm m100 was being heavily trashed by Alan, but Psion are alive and well in Malaysia. I was very surprised to see that Monash University Malaysia had their own website and non corporate web designs to boot. Hey Kerryn, nudge, nudge, wink, wink. My close friend was telling me about Job Searches and I wonder whether JobStreet is the one he was talking about. I read about the Dot Coms are trying hard in Malaysia e.g. MOL but there is only so much VC around in the country. MOL provides a Call Centre service. There were a few of my friends and family looking for new computer monitors. The Sony E200 17" was favoured by them - distribution and exposure for more economical brands like Samsung, Daewoo, Hyundai was not as strong as in Melbourne. As an outside shot, they could try for a 29" monitor (to watch their VCD / DVDs?)
