Malaysia’s CIOs are into open source software, and many see it as a way of cutting costs and upping choice.

CIO Asia, in association with Red Hat Asia Pacific Pte Ltd, recently organised a roundtable in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and got together with the nation’s leading CIOs to talk open source. Issues discussed included cost savins, support, control, performance and the desktop environment amongst others.

At the table were: Gerald Wee, Executive Editor, CIO Asia (moderator); Shane Owenby, Regional Manager, Asean, Red Hat Asia Pacific; Mohd Hashimi bin Mohd Nawi, Systems Analyst, Attorney General’s Chambers of Malaysia; Fork Kiang Seong, Assistant Vice President, Application Services—IS, Malayan Banking Bhd; Stan Singh, Senior Vice President and Group CIO, MUI dotCom Sdn Bhd; Suresh M Kumar, Senior Manager, Systems, NorthPort (Malaysia) Bhd; Azbir Abu Bakar, Head, IS Department, Padiberas Nasional Bhd; Zulkepli bin Haji Hamid, Vice President, IT Division, Time dotCom Bhd; and David Asirratham, IT Director, Multimedia University.
