“First, do no harm” is the oft-repeated mantra from the Hippocratic Oath that medical professionals ascribe to. Underlying that concept is the philosophy that the patient is of utmost importance, and thus, their safety and well-being should come first when a doctor  sees to them and makes decisions regarding their health needs. We explore the idea of patient-centric care and whether this is really being delivered in our modern healthcare system, on our bi-monthly show with consultant cardiologist Dr Kannan Pasamanickam.

Dari Dapur is a series by untitled kompeni, in partnership with The Fourth and Refuge for the Refugees is focused on bridging the gap between migrants and Malaysians through food.

While Instagram was a highly successful startup, building a second successive winning startup is a big task, especially considering the high failure rate of startups. So today on BizBytes, we ask the question, what does it take to be a successful serial entrepreneur?

We also get Kevin’s thoughts on:

• -Whether serial entrepreneurs are more likely to succeed.

• -The most promising startup areas in Southeast Asia.

• -Funding being the key hurdle in the Malaysian startup ecosystem.

The world as we know it is fast changing. As telecommunications network equipment becomes more IP-based, energy consumption requirements have also increased steadily. There is a need to develop new, inexpensive, clean energy sources to fuel the growth of the industry.

With demand for wireless infrastructure on the rise accelerating to meet the growing bandwidth for 4G and 5G networks, we may be heading into a world where we would have to build telcos every 500 metres and more antennas on building tops.

But, is this solution viable? Is there no better way to reach ultimate connectivity and reduce the carbon footprint in the process?
