Offshoring Sexy No More



Is PIKOM representative of the industry? I associate PIKOM with PC Fairs, not the ICT industry. So I conclude that PIKOM represents only the PC retailers.

The Association of the Computer and Multimedia Industry of Malaysia (Pikom) is disappointed with Budget 2009 allocation for the country’s ICT segment. David Wong, PIKOM's Chairman said there are areas (within the ICT segment) that need to be seriously addressed, such as promoting (Malaysia as a regional centre) for outsourcing.

I thought that people don't talk about outsourcing any more. It's a period topic. In reality now, outsourcing isn't sexy any more. The wage inflation in this country has risen so much that it is no longer attractive to offshore.
