The PEAK Malaysia Magazine - October 2013

In this issue

THE PEAK IN OCTOBER looks to the future with Datuk Tan Say Jim, Group MD and CEO of IRIS Corporation, a home-grown technology pioneer. The many wonderful innovations by IRIS is enhancing Malaysia from bottom up, addressing issues of poverty, housing, food production, environment and even energy. In the process, it is putting Malaysia on the world map as a place where sustainable living is no longer a utopian dream, but a real-life practice. Within this issue, we also talk to the Malaysian heads of huge MNCs whose global reach will shape the future in which we live. We ask Chevron, Citibank, Google, Mastercard, Lenovo and Unilever to detail the bigger picture, and get them to reveal the new and exciting developments in store for Malaysians. Across the causeway, we take a closer look at Dame Elizabeth Taylor’s magnificent collection of Bulgari jewellery, including that iconic iconic emerald necklace, a wedding present from her twice-husband Richard Burton. Flip a bit more and you’ll find yourself in the Kingdom of Bhutan, quite possibly the last paradise on earth where the mountains meet the clouds, in a dreamlike landscape of spirituality and peace.
