Management of misinformation in Türkiye could be a lesson for Asia, says crisis management analyst

On the strategic level, the challenge is to do the greatest amount of good with the limited resources at hand within the shortest amount of time. On the ground, there is only one objective – to save as many lives as possible. To suggest that this is not the government’s utmost priority from the President down is madness. The good international standing and connectivity of Türkiye have enabled aid and resources to flow into the country quickly. That was made possible by effective communication with international agencies, governments, and non-governmental organisations. In a crisis, control of critical infrastructure is required. Social media is now considered a critical infrastructure. The action regarding Twitter was a stop-gap measure in the face of destabilising misinformation. In the months and years to come, it will become a much-studied case study for crisis communications and disaster response. In this context, there was too much information [...]

KSK Land recognised for investor attraction strategy

KSK Land has been recognised by the Malaysia Global Business Forum (MGBF) for its role in attracting high net-worth individuals to Malaysia post-pandemic. The first challenge in investor attraction is “selling” the country. In the context of Asia, Malaysia is competing with some very established investment destinations. The second is to position the city as a highly liveable city with the connectivity to regional and global markets. The team at KSK Land has successfully sold Malaysia, the city of Kuala Lumpur, and the property 8 Conlay to a selection of global investors looking for a strategic position in ASEAN. MGBF founding chairman, Nordin Abdullah, said, “We have seen in cities like London that high net-worth investors often start with the purchase of an iconic property. After establishing a footprint and spending more time in the city, the investor finds ways to integrate Malaysian opportunities into their global business operations.” “For [...]

Consolidated Data Analysis of Malaysia’s Kita Jaga Kita Movement

The Kita Jaga Kita movement, embodied with the hashtag #kitajagakita, represents a community-driven social campaign – the result of collective sentiments derived from individuals and local businesses losing their main source of income due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In late June 2021, the “White Flag Movement” emerged on social media in Malaysia as a direct response to the concerns of the community directly impacted by the economic fallout of the pandemic. As a further response and as a community effort, several websites and apps were developed to allow people within the community who were under lockdown to share information about the critical needs of individuals and families. This report has taken a snapshot of the publicly available data from the three main community-developed platforms namely crowdsourcing websites kitajaga.co and Sambal SOS, and the MyBendera application in the first two weeks of August 2021.
