Here and Now in Malaysia<br />

creating Knowledge<br />

Workers in Malaysia<br />

after two years in her current<br />

role, Siti Rohani Napis, 34,<br />

decided it was time to gain<br />

more knowledge and skills to fulfil<br />

her responsibilities at Fraser and<br />

Neave (F&N) Malaysia. The company<br />

is amongst the region’s oldest<br />

companies and its brand enjoys the<br />

rare distinction of being a market<br />

leader and household name in<br />

many fast-moving consumer goods<br />

categories.<br />

“I had heard about MSC Malaysia’s<br />

MyProCert (SAP) Programme<br />

through friends and I thought it<br />

would be a good career boost for me.<br />

I did some research on the structure<br />

and costs, and advised my manager.<br />

This five-week programme provides<br />

a comprehensive curriculum based<br />

on current market demand for highend<br />

skills,” said Siti.<br />

“I was very excited about attending<br />

this instructor-led course. I knew<br />

that my objective would be met<br />

at the end and I would come away<br />

with more knowledge apart from<br />

obtaining the SAP certification. I was<br />

fortunate that the management at<br />

F&N allowed me to take time off from<br />

work to attend classes in December<br />

2011.”<br />

Established under the Human Capital<br />

Development Strategic Reform<br />

Initiative, MSC Malaysia MyProCert<br />

Programme is a catalytic initiative for<br />

Malaysians who wish to upgrade their<br />

skills to international ICT certification<br />

standards. Besides SAP, individuals<br />

can also choose to be trained and<br />

certified in Oracle, Huawei, Apple<br />

and IAOP (International Association<br />

of Outsourcing Professionals)<br />

programmes.<br />

According to Multimedia Development<br />

Corporation (MDeC) Chief Executive<br />

Officer Datuk Badlisham Ghazali, the<br />

programme is aimed at increasing the<br />

global competitiveness of the Malaysian<br />

ICT workforce.<br />

Participating partners will provide<br />

a marked reduction of the usual<br />

certification fees, while the<br />

government provides a one-off cash<br />

incentive for individuals who pass the<br />

required certification examination,”<br />

he said.<br />

“ I knew that my objective would be met<br />

at the end and I would come away with<br />

more knowledge apart from obtaining<br />

the SaP certification.<br />
