Message from the Chairman04It is that time of year once again where we in PIKOM refl ect on our achievements the past term and share our aspirations for the new term. I began my chairmanship on October 27 2015 where the economic uncertainties in the country continued to linger.

The projection of gross domestic product (GDP) growth has been revised more than once.

The gross domestic product growth for Malaysia is expected to slow to 4.2% this year according to World Bank amid a weak global economy. But it is expected to improve to 4.3% and then to 4.5% in 2018.

The Ringgit continued to depreciate against the US dollar. In addition we experienced the falling prices of crude oil and commodities which caused a ripple effect to our economy and the purchasing power of Malaysians.

Our signature ICT Job Market Outlook report for 2016 recorded that the overall average monthly salary of ICT professionals for 2015 to be RM8,114, a growth of 5.3 per cent. It is the lowest growth rate in eight years. Furthermore the average monthly salary growth rate for 2016 is expected to drop further to 4.7%.

Despite the gloomy picture, we can be thankful that the ICT industry continues to grow and the biggest con-tributor is the ICT Services sector which has been recording double digit year-on-year growth since 2013.

And as the saying goes, the show must go on.

We must remain positive, encourage one another and provide support to our esteemed members.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Council members - my fellow offi ce bearers, councillors, advisors and the secretariat, for their time, dedication, efforts and hard work in pursuing PIKOM’s objectives and serving the ICT industry. Through your service, you have guided the various chapters and committees of PIKOM.

The GAC once again played its role in shaping public policies. Year after year, our views are sought when it comes time for the government to table the annual Budget.

The PIKOM CIO Chapter also held numerous activities such as an educational trip to Spain while the Outsourcing Malaysia chapter also participated in the recent Malaysia Investment Forum in London.

We took the lead to form the ASOCIO AEC Digital Task Force. One of the initiatives was holding the fi rst ASOCIO AEC E-Commerce Alliance meeting to brainstorm ideas of achieving cross border ecommerce success in ASEAN. This is in view of the formation of the ASEAN Economic Community.

E-Commerce is going to be a key driver for growth in the country and PIKOM is taking steps to leverage this development. The PIKOM E-Commerce Chapter will be announced in the very near future.

We also launched our individual membership campaign which is aimed to strengthen PIKOM’s pool of professional talent. To date, we have more than 500 registered to be individual members.

Once again our Malaysian ICT team did our country proud in the international scene claiming three Winner and fi ve Merit awards at the International APICTA event in Sri Lanka in November 2015.

We also salute the PILA and MSC APICTAaward winners whose success and achievements were celebrated at the recent PIKOM ICT Awards Night 2016. May they go on to further success.

Malaysia also achieved success at the recently held WCIT2016 in Brazil where we won in four WITSA Global ICT Excellence Awards categories including the highest Chairman’s Award.

This year, PIKOM celebrates its 30th anniversary. This is a special occasion for all of us especially for those who have been with us from day one. We began as a small outfi t in an offi ce in Menara Tun Razak back in 1986. Now we have our own offi ce building in DamansaraPerdana complete with state-of-the art boardroom and training facilities.

We have grown from strength to strength over the past three decades to chart numerous milestones and achievements - both locally as well as globally. We have come of age to emerge as the ‘voice’ of the Malaysian ICT Industry and the ‘face’ at the global ICT stage.

In the year 2017, we look forward to new and exciting initiatives as we reinvent and transform ourselves.

Our PIKOM Academy will be fully operational next year. It will provide a learning avenue and a training ground to equip and retrain ICT professionals.

We will strive harder to increase our membership whether as a corporate level or individual level. This year at the ICT Awards Night 2016, we honoured 19 companies who have been PIKOM Ordinary Members for 25 years and longer. We are touched by your support and loyalty to the National ICT Association of Malaysia and we sincerely hope you will continue to be part of the PIKOM family in decades to come.

Let’s all ring in the new term with renewed hope, optimism and prosperity for a thriving Malaysian ICT industry.

Annual Report 2015/2016 10 Annual Report 2015/2016 11

Widening Salary Gap among ICT Jobs: ICT salary gap between entry level and other categories continue to widen for all job categories. Senior

managers earned 6.27 times more than fresh graduates in 2015. This gap was only 4.95 times fi ve years ago in 2010. Middle management

category also registered a widening gap that increased from 3.21 to 3.75 times during the same fi ve-year period.

Benchmarking against other countries: In the PPP Adjusted Criterion benchmarking scale, the average monthly salary of IT Project Manager

(PM) at entry level in United States and UAE were 1.5 and 2.18 times respectively more than in Malaysia.

In the PPP Adjusted Criterion benchmarking scale measuring the average monthly salary of IT Project Manager at entry level, WASHINGTON was

the only US city in the top 10. Out of the top 10 cities , six cities were from the Middle East. Kuala Lumpur was ranked 41/101 cities surveyed.

The economic woes and the uncertainties in 2015 certainly had an adverse impact on the information communication technology (ICT) industry

which in turn caused a ripple effect on the overall salary growth for 2015. While the industry expected a downturn, it certainly didn’t expect the

impact to be of such a magnitude. Perhaps it is also a good wake up call for the ICT industry to realize that even though the overall average

monthly salary had been growing healthily year on year for the past eight years, future salary growth cannot be taken for granted.

Industry Overview10

PIKOM published the eagerly awaited “ICT Job Market Outlook in Malaysia 2016”. Once again, the

association partnered with Jobstreet.com, besides making due references from

PayScale web publishers.

ICT JOB MARKET OUTLOOK IN MALAYSIA 2016A signature report since 2007 providing average salary

PIKOM’S RECOMMENDATION FOR THE NATIONAL BUDGET 2017As part of its policy shaping engagement, the GAC took a proactive role to submit PIKOM’s ICT Industry recommendations to the

Ministry of Finance for consideration into the National Budget 2017, a summary of which is:

1. ICT education in schools

PIKOM recommends that government should provide more allocation

to the development of ICT curriculum as it continues to be a pivotal

subject from the primary level of the education school system.

2. Withholding tax on software products

PIKOM calls for software to be classifi ed as a product and not

subjected to with holding tax. As a nation heading into the digital age,

curbing the use by imposing additional taxes will be a burden to the

citizens and business.

3. Broadband pricing

PIKOM continues to exhort the government and internet service

providers to continually provide product and price innovation that

will benefi t all Malaysian. PIKOM recommends that the government

consider full reductions in order to bridge the digital divide and boost

accessibility.

In addition, PIKOM also proposed:

a. Reintroduction of EPF PC Scheme

b. Tax relief for PC purchases once every 2 years instead of 3 years and to include smartphones and accessories as well

c. Double tax deduction for training

The PCC provides a forum of communication for CIOs and Heads of ICT in a user organisation to exchange information, share experiences, exploring leading edge technologies and employ best practices in ICT management. The PCC comprises more than 100 CIOs of the largest corporations and government agencies in Malaysia.
