MALAYSIA’S SEARCH FOR YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS


           From the review of article, development in entrepreneurship has had a positive and significant impact on the local business sector. The government has always given attention to developing young entrepreneurs into resilient and competitive players in the global market.

Firstly, Masterskill Education Group Bhd’s founder Datuk Seri Edmund Santhara, Masterskill, which is the country’s largest operator of non-government nursing colleges. Under his leadership, Masterskill has seen student population growing to over 9000 through the implementation of innovative measures. 

Secondly, Ganesh Kumar Bangah is the co-founder of MOL and group CEO of Friendster. He basically built his company from scratch and is now the biggest online payment service provider in Asia.

Thirdly, Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, is the richest young billionaire in the world at the age of 26. His great insight and intelligence allowed him to incorporate pre-existing concepts and turn it into ideas that have swept the world. 


In addition, Jerry Yang from Taiwan, moved to the United States of America when he was 10. He created his web directory in 1994 with partner David Filo when both were Stanford grad students. The Yahoo! co-founder made his debut among America’s richest at age 29.


From my point of view, young Malaysian entrepreneurs can learn from these people. They can start from their humble beginnings that were able to turn their ideas into something of great value. They were able to overcome challenges presented before them and go on to become what they are today. It is possible for young Malaysian entrepreneurs to emulate these people. It needs some hard work and effort, and the inspiration to succeed. A paradigm shift among young people is highly imperative, as their contributions to entrepreneurship would stimulate the country’s economic growth. In conclusion it can help young entrepreneurs to move forward in becoming a developed nation by 2020.
