81GROUP

BE VALUED,
BE REWARDED

As founder and executive chairman of 81Group, I see myself as a Global Malaysian Entrepreneur, who wants to build great companies, willing to push forward to develop new concepts and engage in multiple aspects of creating, launching and growing the 81Group portfolio. Looking back on our past footsteps, I strongly believe that each trial and error, as well as each achievement and triumph, has served as a solid cornerstone upon which 81Group now stands, and prepared for a greater march forward. In 81Group, we believe that when undertaking something with our 8 golden rules, nothing is unattainable. The 8 golden rules are resources integration, leveraging connection, keep learning, change our mindset and methods, dare to take challenge, fast-action, passion for giving, and receive without forgetting.

The desire to expand in Southeast Asia, to create value, and to live a long-term economic development, rooted in Malaysia has always been the driver of 81Group’s development.

When DEMGR Solution was founded, my plan was to establish a software development company that is mainly focus on MLM companies. In 2010, with the explosive growth of mobile technology, I foreseen the great impact of mobile technologies would have on businesses and individuals, and this has inspired me to establish a mobile solution company, Spidercomm.

The most valuable asset of our company is the personnel. We nurture the careers of the employees, while depending on their skills and potential. Driven by this determination, I was established 81Group in 2017 with promising every division transform into a company, simultaneously providing opportunities to the entrepreneurial-minded employees. 81Group is now a leading national corporation that embraces 8 subsidiaries to provides comprehensive IT solutions to clients from around the world.

As global economic environments and social paradigms are changing at a rapid pace, I realize that it is ever more important to emphasize our corporate culture and values, “WE BE RICH” – “WE” work as a team, develop a strongest belief, staying enthusiastic at work, have a sense of responsibility and act accordingly, take initiative to help others, commitment to the development of corporation and always ensure happiness in our workplace.

The 81Group’s culture and values are firmly anchored in the 81Group and is designed to serve as the guiding principles for all of us at 81Group and its subsidiaries. In today’s world, even one person’s misconduct can have a significant negative impact on the reputation and credibility of our corporation. In this regard, it is essential that all of us understand and comply with our values. It is everyone’s duty to protect 81Group’s integrity, which is indispensable to realizing our vision for the future as well as carrying out our social responsibility.

With our commitment to embracing the culture and making it a part of our life, I have no doubt that we will be successful in building a proud 81Group. Moving forward, 81Group will continue to expand its geographical footprint while adding more capabilities to its core business segments. In addition, 81Group also intends to leverage on its current partnerships to expand and diversify its capabilities. It will also forge new partnerships in the future to ensure that the Group’s presence expands in its targeted regions.

Rules

8 Golden Rules To Success

SUCCESS

Resources Integration​

Everyone plays a different role in a team. We can make a big difference by gathering all little force together, whether in money, idea or man power.

Dare to Take Challenge​

Starting something new for the first time can be challenging. Dare to fail, dare to be different. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.

Leveraging Connection​

Leveraging connection and resources is the first step in expanding opportunities. With leverage, you can get more time, better fitness, career or business success.

Fast Action​

Dreams don't work unless you take action. The surest way to make your dreams come true is to live them.

Keep Learning​

The world is keep changing, one of the most effective ways of dealing with changes is with lifelong learning.

Giving Does Make A Difference​

Giving is not a zero-sum game. The more you give the more you have. When you give to the less fortunate, you add to their lives - and by adding to theirs, you add to yours too.

Change Mindset / Methods​

Teamwork is the fundamental to achieve win-win situation. Two or more peoples are always efficient than one for solving problems, finishing off difficult tasks, and achieving goals.

Receive Without Forgetting​

Seeing the smiles, gratitude and expressions of hope on the faces of those you are kind to makes the act of giving worthwhile. Always stay humble and continue to do what you do.
