Vasseti´s Business Unit Selected as Part of the Prestigious Malaysian Economic Transformation Program

Dated 17 October 2011
Vasseti’s business unit, MedikTV, which provides ipTV broadcast solution to all hospitals and medical centres under Ministry of Health, has been selected by Malaysian Government as one of the key national Economic Transformation Project.
KUALA LUMPUR – OCTOBER 17, 2011 – The Economic Transformation Unit under the Prime Minister’s Department recently selected MedikTV, an ipTV broadcast initiative led by Vasseti’s subsidiary Medic Channel Sdn Bhd, as one of the key Economic Transformation Program (ETP) for Malaysia.
Through ETP, projects of significant importance to the Malaysian economy are shortlisted and selected by the Prime Minister’s Department and are listed as the key drivers of the Malaysian economy in the next few years. These projects receive special attention from both the government and the private sector to ensure its successful implementation and impact onto the national growth agenda can be realised as planned.
Vasseti, an investment holding company lead by Tan Sri Syed Yusof, a flamboyant, well connected Malaysian billionaire with a history of Midas’ touch, has recently been listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE: 1VS). Speaking at the sidelines of the official ceremony for MedikTV’s inclusion in ETP at the Malaysian federal capital Putrajaya two weeks ago, Syed Yusof said, “At Vasseti, we are always finding ways to make technology work for people. In this instance, we used the combination of technologies and resources available in Vasseti to enable the government to deliver awareness campaign to the rakyat (people). Specifically, this was achieved by using our ipTV broadcast technology provided by Vasseti Datatech leveraging on our own nationwide network infrastructure, provided by V Telecoms”.
When asked if the project is a corporate social undertaking by Vasseti, Syed Yusof replied, “It certainly is.” The end result of the MedikTV initiative is greater public awareness on medical and health issues. “But it is not a charity project. Vasseti has its obligation to its shareholders to deliver profit and we achieve that through a clever blend of advertisement revenue from an industry that is known to pay the most for advertising,” he further elaborated, referring to the pharmaceutical and health industry.
The end result can be mind blowing. All medical suppliers and contractors working with the government through the Ministry of Health are required to educate the public especially the patients visiting the government medical facilities, of the product and supplies used on them. This provides an extremely niche market segment for Vasseti to capitalise on them by charging advertisement slots on the ipTV broadcast, which is exclusively managed by MedikTV for the Ministry of Health, Malaysia.
