Issues on Human Capital for Biotech Industry (part 1)

my teacher,cikgu adam(maahad muar) passed away on tuesday. al-fatihah.





i got this sad news while i was on my way to KL. i had to attend one symposium on biotech. they discuss abt the human capital of biotech industry esp in malaysia.





i took a ride with mr.azmeer. he is my opismate. tq to him drove me all the way from muar to KL. we chit chat along the way and he is quite frenly eventho i just started work about 2months. he taught me a lot. He had a great smile..and still single..(sapa kawan2 aku nak masuk line sila minta no phone die dr aku k) and also tq to my other opismate..esp..kak pi..pakcik zubir..en.nasir...en.omar..en.mohktar....





the symposium took place somewher in the centre ok Kl..and for me that has kampung background,i'm not used to go to the big hotel..1st i came in the hotel...the workers gave warm welcome and i met my bos then i go the seminar...





at first i thought that the symposium like the seminar wher i come..sit..and just listen to the speech/presentation..however in that symposium..i need to be in group and discuss about a topic..which i'm quite blur since i came late. Guess la who were my groupmate...


they are


1.lecturers (prof n doctors)


2.ceo


3.VP of human resources


4.Me( seriously i feel like real loser)





luckily for me that my groupmates were frenly and they shared and pointed out the experinces and knowledge that for sure i did absorb as much as possible...





tell u wat, how small i feel in that group discussion..and somehow i feel like i'm invisible...(tetibe tukar cite2 nak jd org xx-ray..heh)

bercerita ttg isi penting yg aku dapat..sgt la byk..tapi meh la nak kongsi sedikit sebyk yg aku masuk otak aku haritue...


The main issues regarding this human capital for biotech industry were concluded into 4 types of issues..namely



  • Supply

  • Demand

  • Continous development

  • retention

My dear brothers and sisters...for graduating students...undergrad students as well...


luk,wat i can see from their discussion was they are expecting us undergrad students to further our study..i understand that nowadays getting knowledge simpler than b4..they did mentioned that wat they study in their PhD back then, is now studied by the Bsc students. can u see the trend? so the new generation including me, hopefully will use and retain and spread the knowledge and i believe we must have our own effort to acquire knowledge. Not always spoon fed by our lecturers. and nak bitau gak yg depa pun dpt rasa cam aku rasa la kan..cam blur2 sket pasal biotech kat malaysia nie..mahupun kat dunia..dude..trust me..sapa2 in field of biotech..no worries many waiting for u...
