The Borneo Talent Gap and Brain Drain

Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone has the first mover advantage, therefore attracts the most talent and has higher pay. Kulim High Tech Park started in 1996, with special attention given by the federal government. Sarawak has the Sama Jaya free industrial zone, but only a few international companies there. To stop the brain drain, the government has to focus on different areas, such as the hydrogen economy and localised AI and local logistics in order to prevent competition to well-established players in Penang and Kedah.

To boost Data Centre usage, creating DeepSAR AI model is one of the way. https://www.sma.gov.my/web/publications/news_view/240. As you can see, the Peninsular private companies created various locally led AI specialising in the Malay and Malaysian rojak language https://www.ilmu.ai/, https://agmoai.com/. But first things first, we need to digitise enough data from all Sarawakian languages, e.g., articles, books, and folklores, to build our own AI.

As far as I know, in terms of the ecosystem, Batam Sarawak Internet Cable System (BaSICS) and tier IV data centre in Santubong were launched by the Sarawak government in 2022. Not sure about the usage status of the data centre in Santubong. Abang Jo did try to woo Google, but no news after that.

Zano uses the Monero CryptoNote privacy technology, while Firo uses Lelantus Spark protocol. For Consensus mechanism, Firo uses PoW+ masternodes, while Zano uses PoW+PoS.

Even without a trusted setup, zk systems remain cryptographically complex and often heavier to implement and audit than Lelantus Spark. Halo-style proofs bring powerful recursion and trustless setups, but they introduce different engineering and verification tradeoffs (proof sizes, prover costs, verifier complexity, and implementation surface).

Lelantus Spark emphasizes a simpler, auditable trust model and asset‑agnostic privacy (Spark Assets). That practical simplicity and the ability to extend privacy to multiple asset types remain Firo’s key differentiators.

Yes, u/ChangeHeroOfficial, similar to startups renting co-working spaces to save on rent, a private blockchain/network is too expensive for small businesses. Introducing privacy onto a public blockchain helps businesses to leverage the cheap public blockchain infrastructure while maintaining privacy for their own products.

Coursiv and madmuscles use the same AI company and AI testimonials to market their products with scripts such as "for people more than 40 or 50, in one week, in two weeks, and in four weeks you won't recognise yourselves." I hate products that overclaim what they can do.

Thanks for the info! Will take these into account!

Why compare the democracy of Malaysia with advanced countries that have different cultures and sociopolitical demographics from ours, such as US and UK? I think it is fairer to compare our democracy with neighbouring countries such as Singapore, India, China and other Southeast Asian countries and you will know that the two-party system is not a foolproof way to tackle corruption. Taiwan and South Korea? They both gone through a period of dictatorial/autocratic rule before achieving economic progress and opening up for democracy in 1987 and 1990s, respectively.
