Chapter 12 to story about obstacle for successfully. At 21 July 2005, SKALI were all geared for a public listing and receive approval from the Securities commission.

SKALI had 36 concurrent project, but it let to problems for they. SKALI now have over 100. This increased they overheads tremendously. Secondly big project need serious financing and don’t get paid until the project is complete. These two factors created cash flow problem for SKALI.

Market condition are still not good so SKALI are probably looking at a listing exercise sometime in 2007. So they divided 2006 would be the year to be focused and to do decision the hedgehog concept.

The first was realized in mid-2005 when they rediscovered theme value and purpose via a branding workshop. The second was easy, the internet. SKALI are an internet-driven company. SKALI were genetically encoded to do web-based business and solution.

Strategies of hedgehog concept is :
Break up the company into four main division.
Enhance MEB Business.
Refocus SEV-SKALI E-Ventures.
Promote a new management.

This allowed Aimi and Tengku Farith to focus on strategies rather then be bogged down on operation . among the key thing they did :
enhance the foundation of EBS project implementation.
Better cash flow operations.
cot cost like there’s not tomorrow.

However, some left SKALI simply because the could not take the heat of the revamp and cost cutting. But Aimi, Ida and Tengku Farith have been through a lot, they want a lot and lost a lot too. They are still here and going strong. Although each time they fall down, they will get up again and again and again…..

That all………..

CHAPTER 11: PREPARING FOR LISTING

In the chapter 11 to story about profit, loss and barrier of SKALI in every years. Tengku Farith and his friends already try to SKALI a list in the MESDAQ but……


At 2003, it become apparent to all of SKALI that this dream was within SKALI grasp. SKALI out of the woods, our fortunes had reversed quite spectacularly over the past three years….

Beginning at 2000 to 2002 profit increase. After at 2000 SKALI undergo but an improvement over RM9.6 million loss in 2000. The next year, earnings Tengku Farith up and have profit is very boast of RM92000….

But at 2003, very disappoint because dipped by half effect really slowed down that year due to the SARS and the Iraq invasion. But have a better quality contract, which gave us bigger margin and last have a profit….

One of the first thing to do after successfully listing is to upgrade to better R&D facilities for innovation and creativity.


Another area need to expand on is advertising and promotion something that SKALI didn’t devote much resources to the past simply because did not have the funds to do so.
SKALI also issue press release, give media interview and hold event to generate free publicity in the newspaper.

After that, infrastructure need to be improved and expanded, this includes constructing yet another new data centre. SKALI need to rationalize and streamline the company to better reflect the core operation of company before go to listing…


SKALI is an e-business solution provider and that include having a content management system and a data centre. Those are the two main prongs of SKALI’S business model…..

That all for chapter 11……..
