Are you worried, that others will be able to do what you were able to do? Did the govt give you hand outs or did you make it on your own? I am sure you made it on your own, so why shouldnt the entreprenures take the bull by the horn and do something for themselves? The Biocity maybe a great place for a lot of these biotechnologist in US, Europe or Singapore etc to come back home and attain something. The govt. along with Actis Biologics is planning on setting up various companies. So who will be working in these companies? Ghosts? Obviously people, so where will people come from? Thin air? Naturally they would be hired from within Malaysia and what doesnt exist will be brought from outside. Hey Tony, you got the opportunity and made it, let others get the opportunity too. Dont be cynical and try to kill a project before it gets off the ground. I am not saying that the govt. shouldnt be cautiously optimistic. They should, but give them a break for trying something worthwhile. Dont hang them before. There is no theme park planned at this site, only a Biotech / life science campus. Dont you guys want one? Do you wish to have brain drain and send it all oversees? Dont you want Malaysia, being a super power in the Biotech world? If people are willing to take the chance and fund it through what ever means) and create jobs for the masses and for the life science experts and hence (obviously if there are a lot more jobs and less people, salaries will go up - Basic supply and demand - Specialized skill set is required - this is not agriculture where you till the soil). In regards to Actis having funds, whats the problem, if they are able to raise funds from VC's and other high networth individuals and invest them in the relevant countries? Money isnt being siphoned out, it is being invested to help grow the economy and the investment. Any problems with that? Did you do it as a charity for your IT company? DIdnt you make money for your investors or did the investors loose their shirt on the investment in your company? Come on Tony, be fair, give the groups a break and if they dont perform then crucify them, not before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-45174204184322598592007-08-29T09:07:00.000+08:002007-08-29T09:07:00.000+08:00Wat happened to our few years old technology park ...Wat happened to our few years old technology park malaysia?<BR/><BR/>It just became a normal private college.....giving diplomas<BR/><BR/>Soon Alor gajah park will become a theme parkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-71127119110362436122007-08-28T06:34:00.000+08:002007-08-28T06:34:00.000+08:00Wonder why malaysians refuse to dig in a little de...Wonder why malaysians refuse to dig in a little deeper than just reading the mainstream newspaper.

Instead, they keep practicing a race-based policy and appoint someone with no research credential to be the Research Centre's Head.<BR/><BR/>I personally know many internationally renowned Biotechnologists forced to retire from local U. They are still enthusiatic to contribute to the country, but when no opportunities are given, they finally end up working for Singapore.<BR/><BR/>The problem is that the BN government is never serious about human capital development. The conclusion is that, as long as they don't adopt a meritrocacy-system, they will never be successful in any high-tech projects.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-3454130231066804742007-08-27T17:41:00.000+08:002007-08-27T17:41:00.000+08:00I think people are jumping the gun without knowing...I think people are jumping the gun without knowing facts. Actis Biologics has infact made an investment in India and created a large Biotech Organization which it has invested into through its own sources a total of over US $20million. No money was taken from the country. From what I have read so far, it seems Actis is know taking on this mega project and is planning on investing its own money. Some straight facts about Actis Biologics, is there are over 30 scientists working in this organization at the best labs around the US. Another one for your readers, Actis has almost 50 employees in India. Another fact, Actis has teamed up with some of the largest developers in Asia to setup the project. Another fact, Actis has no negative history behind it. Another Fact, Actis is coming to Malaysia to help create a biotech hub based on Malaysias strategic location, cost and great infr structure, make it a condusive location for east to meet west. Fact, no real opportunities exist in Bio / life Sciences in Malaysia while highly trained Malaysian Biotechnologists live overseas. So lets give them a chance before being so negative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-63073103829035728622007-08-27T11:04:00.000+08:002007-08-27T11:04:00.000+08:00In the end all the investments and hype about sett...In the end all the investments and hype about setting this corridor or that corridor or this hub or that hub will lead to a lot of R& D activities.<BR/>R&D is not research and development but RIHAT & DUDUK at canteensAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-75903990072891295032007-08-27T10:08:00.000+08:002007-08-27T10:08:00.000+08:00Chia,I think you haven't read this famous article ...Chia,<BR/><BR/>I think you haven't read this famous article published in Nature in 2005 "Malyasian biotechnology: The valley of ghosts" (http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v436/n7051/full/436620a.html).<BR/><BR/>For those who still think that the BN government will be successful in high-tech mega projects, think again!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-38285062883334046692007-08-26T22:24:00.000+08:002007-08-26T22:24:00.000+08:00what happened to bio valley in the multimedia supe...what happened to bio valley in the multimedia super corridor?? there are companies set up there already, but they're all too busy having coffee breaks from what i heard! i'm in the biotech field and would love to have something to come home to, but i don't know about alor gajah..chiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00627915371952486502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-63439069664697539952007-08-26T22:14:00.000+08:002007-08-26T22:14:00.000+08:00I was told that Actis Biologics Inc is quite a new...I was told that Actis Biologics Inc is quite a new company.
