Building a knowledge generation
for the nation
“It is what you read when you don’t have to that determines what you
will be when you can’t help it.”
Oscar Wilde
Why is education so important? It’s because it gives us knowledge
of the world around us and develops a perspective of looking at life.
It helps us build opinions and have points of view on everything we
encounter in life. In short, education makes us capable of interpreting
rightly the things we perceive.
Education is important because it equips us with all that is needed to
make our dreams come true. It opens doors for brilliant career opportunities and offers us better prospects in career growth. Today, almost all
employers desire well educated prospective employees.
Realising the importance of education is one thing. Acting on this
realisation is quite another. We at PERNEC appreciate this fact and as a
responsible corporate citizen, we strive to contribute in any way we can
to raise the standard of education, particularly among school children.
The recent award to supply netbooks by the MCMC under its Universal Service Provision programme has paved the way for us to initiate the formation of helonet Club and the establishment of the helonet
educational portal, membership of which will be open to all recipients
of our helonet netbooks. We hope to launch this programme by April
this year.
Our delivery of 30 helonet netbooks to the deserving students of
Kg Teriang last year was our initial contribution towards this objective
while the formation of helonet Club is an extension of this effort. We
wish to see all sections of the community, be they in urban or rural areas, benefit from the Government’s aggressive approach to increase IT
literacy among Malaysians.
The future of a nation is safe in the hands of educated individuals and
one cannot deny the fact that education is important for the economic
growth of a nation. It fosters the principles of equality and socialism. It
forms a support system for talents to excel in life and is ultimately, the
backbone of a society.

It must also promote cooperation and

Additionally the management will establish and implement a clear OSH policy and
measurable objectives and ensure effective
arrangements for the full participation of

Karim Abdul Sallam, Pengarah Urusan Kumpulan, diundang ke dalam
segmen Randau Niaga Bersama
CEO, iaitu sebuah program Biz Malaysia
RTM.
Dalam segmen wawancara yang dikendalikan oleh hos Encik Muhammad Hisham
Salleh, Encik Karim telah memperincikan
kejayaan-kejayaan yang dicapai oleh Pernec Corporation secara am, dan Pernec PayPoint secara khususnya sepanjang 2010 dan
juga perancangan untuk memantapkan lagi
sektor telefon awam di masa hadapan.
Berikut adalah temu bual itu yang disiarkan jam 6 petang pada 13 Januari 2011:
Soalan (S): Sebelum kita melihat kepada
diari 2011, bagaimana Encik melihat
perjalanan Pernec di tahun 2010?
Jawapan (J): Saya memulakan karier sebagai Pengarah Urusan Pernec pada Januari 2009. Pernec Corporation Berhad yang
telah ditubuhkan pada tahun 1973, adalah
sebuah syarikat usahasama antara Permoda-
012 NADA PERNEC FEBRUARY 2011
lan Nasional Berhad, Amanah Raya Berhad
dan NEC Corporation of Japan.
Antara pencapaian ketara syarikat ialah
kejayaan memulihkan perniagaan telefon
awam yang telah kami ambil alih pada tahun 2008.
Secara amnya, para operator telefon
awam di seluruh dunia pada hari ini sedang
menghadapi saingan sengit daripada telefon
mudah alih (bimbit) dan kebanyakannya,
mengalami kerugian selain ada juga yang
tidak dapat meneruskan operasi lagi.
Namun keadaan agak berbeza bagi kita
di Malaysia di mana data yang ada pada
kami menunjukkan – mungkin ramai di
antara penonton tidak menyangka – bahawa
lebih 12 juta pemanggil membuat panggilan
di telefon-telefon awam kami dengan purata
satu minit panggilan setiap bulan.
Syarikat telefon awam kami, Pernec
PayPoint, mempunyai 35,000 telefon awam
di seluruh Negara termasuk di Sabah
dan Sarawak. Jumlah ini dijangka
akan meningkat kepada 50,000 dalam
masa dua tahun lagi.
Dari jumlah ini, sebanyak 12,000
telefon awam adalah terletak di kawasan pedalaman dan luar bandar.
Walaupun perniagaan ini sedang
menghadapi saingan yang kuat dari sektor
telefon mudah alih, kami masih mampu
menjalankan operasi di kawasan luar bandar
sebagai sebahagian dari tanggungjawab sosial kami untuk memberi khidmat kepada
masyarakat di sana walaupun pada dasarnya, kadar pulangannya adalah rendah.
Kejayaan untuk memulihkan perniagaan
telefon adalah hasil transformasi model
perniagaan melalui inovasi di mana telefon
awam tidak terhad kepada panggilan telefon
sahaja.
S: Boleh Encik terangkan dengan lebih
lanjut tentang proses transformasi melalui inovasi yang telah dijalankan?
J: Telefon awam secara lazimnya adalah
untuk kegunaan komunikasi suara namun
melalui inisiatif transformasi melalui inovasi, kami telah memperluaskan aplikasinya
kepada media pengiklanan dengan meng-

gunakan pondok telefon, dan menggunakan
infrastruktur telefon awam sebagai pemancar
khidmat WiFi untuk jalur lebar.
Di samping itu melalui kerjasama dengan salah satu syarikat perkhidmatan telefon
selular, kami juga telah memperkenalkan
aplikasi ‘reload’ atau tambah nilai melalui
telefon awam.
Kami berpendapat pondok-pondok telefon pada satu hari nanti akan dapat dinaikkan
taraf untuk menjadi kiosk telefon serta kiosk
pembayaran dan bukan terhad kepada khidmat tambah nilai telefon prabayar.
Aplikasi selainnya yang sedang kami
kaji ialah mentransformasikan pondok telefon awam sebagai tapak untuk pemasangan
CCTV, terutamanya bagi kawasan-kawasan
tumpuan seperti sekolah dan sebagainya.
Untuk pengetahuan semua, pada hari
ini, terdapat lebih dari 8,000 telefon awam
yang terletak di sekolah-sekolah di seluruh
negara yang boleh dipasang CCTV. Dari
kajian kami, ini adalah cara terpantas untuk
menyediakan perkhidmatan CCTV dengan
kos yang paling rendah.
Proses transformasi melalui inovasi ini
telah mula membuahkan hasil yang sangat
memuaskan. Sebagai contoh, dengan adanya
projek transformasi ini, keuntungan perniagaan telefon awam kami telah dapat ditingkatkan sebanyak 600% (dalam tahun 2010).
S: Bagaimana dengan prestasi syarikat peringkat kumpulan? Boleh Encik
jelaskan?
J: Alhamdulillah, walaupun Syarikat menghadapi persaingan yang hebat, kami masih
berupaya untuk mencatatkan pertumbuhan
yang sangat memberangsangkan dengan keuntungan sebelum cukai atau pre-tax profit,
meningkat melebihi 100% berbanding dengan pencapaian syarikat pada tahun 2009.
Saya percaya prestasi kukuh ini adalah
hasil dari inisiatif pengurusan Pernec yang
memperkenalkan program transformasi
perniagaan Pernec 2.0, yang memberi
penekanan usaha kepada empat bidang iaitu:
• Pertumbuhan Hasil (Revenue Growth)
• Kecemerlangan Pengalaman Pelanggan
(Excellent Customer Experience)
• Kecemerlangan Operasi (Operational Excellence)
• Penglibatan Kakitangan (Employee Engagement)
Pada tahun lepas juga syarikat telah memperkenalkan program Balance Scorecard untuk memantau prestasi serta hasil kerja kakitangan dan ini juga telah memberikan impak
yang positif kepada operasi syarikat secara
keseluruhan. Kami juga telah memperkenalkan penggunaan teknologi IT secara lebih
menyeluruh di dalam operasi kami untuk
memastikan proses perniagaan yang lebih
efektif dan efisien.
S: Bagaimana di tahun 2011? Apakah
perancangan Pernec?
J: Pada tahun ini, kami akan menumpukan
usaha untuk meningkatkan lagi pendapatan
syarikat dari bidang-bidang perniagaan kami
yang sedia ada dan masih relevan merangkumi bidang telekomunikasi, ICT dan telefon
awan. Ini termasuk meneroka peluang-peluang dari perniagaan sampingan dan kami
juga akan menceburi bidang-bidang perniagaan baru yang berpotensi misalnya produkproduk yang berteraskan teknologi hijau.
Empat faktor penting yang akan menentukan kejayaan Pernec pada tahun ini adalah:
• Fokus untuk projek yang memberikan
pulangan yang lebih baik.
• Pengurusan kos dan aliran tunai.
• Pelaksanaan projek mengikut jadual dan
kos.
• Kecemerlangan Pengalaman Pelanggan.
S: Apakah fokus utama Pernec dalam
bergerak ke hadapan?
J: Fokus utama Pernec di masa terdekat ialah
menjadikan segala cabang perniagaan utama
seperti unit telekomunikasi, ICT dan telefon awam yang terkandung di dalam pelan
Pernec 2.0 menjadi kenyataan. Kami akan
berusaha untuk mencapai matlamat yang
telah kami tetapkan bagi mencapai objektif
syarikat untuk menjana pendapatan RM1 bilion setahun menjelang tahun 2015.
Kami juga akan terus meningkatkan
usaha kami untuk menjadi sebuah syarikat
yang berinovasi dan membina lebih banyak
aplikasi kandungan seperti portal perniagaan
halal Halalsquare.Com dan aplikasi-aplikasi
e-commerce yang lain.
S: Apa tips anda dalam mengendalikan
cabaran dan menguatkan serta mengekalkan misi dan visi syarikat?
J: Pada pandangan saya, ada lima elemen
yang paling penting di dalam menangani
cabaran perniagaan:
Pertama ialah melaksanakan tuntutan pelanggan, melalui program Kecemerlangan
Pengalaman Pelanggan. Salah satu cara untuk mencapai tujuan ini ialah dengan melaksanakan segala projek mengikut jadual yang
telah ditetapkan. Syarikat juga perlu memperkenalkan CRM – Pengurusan Khidmat
Pelanggan.
Tips kedua yang ingin saya kongsi di sini
ialah kepentingan inovasi dan ‘creativity’
dalam melakukan perkara-perkara yang baru
melalui penekanan inisiatif Transformasi
melalui Inovasi.
Ketiga ialah pengurusan kos yang baik
dan pemantauan kesihatan aliran tunai yang
mantap. Aliran tunai yang tidak mencukupi
akan menyebabkan gangguan kepada operasi syarikat. Kita harus mengelakkan pembaziran dan menggalakkan program penjimatan kos tetapi ini semua perlu dilakukan
dengan berhati-hati supaya tidak menjejaskan mutu perkhidmatan.
Keempat ialah meningkatkan keupayaan
untuk melakukan sesuatu dengan cepat. Kelambatan dalam memberikan respons kepada
peluang perniagaan mungkin menyebabkan
kita kehilangan hasil perniagaan. Di samping
itu juga, kita harus cepat untuk belajar sesuatu kemahiran dengan cepat, sebab segalagalanya berubah dengan pantas. Misalnya
(bagi sektor) teknologi, perubahan mendadak boleh berlaku di dalam jangka masa
yang pendek.
Kelima, berkeupayaan untuk meramal
peluang-peluang perniagaan di masa hadapan dan membuat olahan tentang apa yang
akan terjadi kepada perniagaan sedia ada.
