YouthsToday.com is designed to bridge the gap between youth with brands and government agencies on one common online platform. It serves as a hub for youth to post up their youth development projects and events in order to gather resources, funding and mentorship to help build their ideas. With this platform, it allows youth to be able to express and improve themselves by engaging with the content. It provides youth the opportunity to learn, grow, network, strengthen their leadership skills, exposure and enrich their experiences.

On the other hand, brands and government agencies uses the platform to target young people as their workforce, seek for future leaders of the country and running their advertising campaigns targeting the campus students.

The Trunkbuster™ machine is a Malaysian invention designed specifically to unlock the enormous value contained in Oil Palm Trunks (OPT). This is achieved by rapidly pulverizing the trunks into fibres averaging 1 inch in length. Once reduced to this size, the OPT fibre can now be easily processed to produce an amazing range of downstream products ranging from biochemicals to brown paper. Studies have shown that the sap of OPT contains large amounts of fermentable sugars potentially providing a significant source of glucose which has an enormouse worldwide demand. The final solid residue is ideal for producing fuel pellets, which has a growing demand worldwide as a continuous source of renewable energy for heat and power while producing significantly less greenhouse gases compared to fossil fuels.

In 2005, Professor Dr Suhaila Mohamed and her student, Fatihanim Mohd Noor, from the Faculty of Science and Food Technology of Universiti Putra Malaysia initiated a research to reduce the amount of oil absorption in fried food as well as reduce fat deterioration. Focus is given to fried food, as in many countries frying food is a common practice in cooking. In 2007, they successfully patent their finding which is an extract from selected plants. This extract is the first natural phenolic based additive that, not only reduces oil absorption in fried food, but also retard oxidation with no harmful side effects. This additive is named Add-X.

Add-X, when incorporated with cooking oil would render the oil composition to be more resistant upon oxidation under prolong heating while reducing oil absorption in fried food. Subsequently, consumption of the prepared food is less likely to contribute to obesity and other harmful effect on the health of consumers due to the less excessive intake of fat or calories.

Cooking oil would also be less wasteful with the addition of Add-X in it as it would be more resistance against degradation due to oxidation. Thus, the volume of cooking oil required will be less to fry the same amount of food as compared to cooking oil without Add-X added. It is also an environmental friendly product as it is capable of enhancing cooking oil usage efficiency, thus reducing the amount of oil waste to be discarded.

We are engaged with automotive manufacturers, and are poised to initially roll out to the B2B market in the 2nd half of 2016. There is potential revenue of up to RM1.4 million (USD 350,000) in the first year alone, and more so once we hit the consumer market via motor insurance telematics – which is a multi-billion ringgit industry by itself. By capturing even just 5% of the market share of cars produced and sold in Malaysia annually (30,000 cars), Omnimatics will be looking at revenues of at least RM15 million ringgit (USD3.75 million). Once the company matures and is ready to open operations in other countries in South East Asia, Omnimatics will be able to generate 2 – 3x more revenue at similar market share of 5% in those respective countries.

BorderPass is an opt-in service that expedites travellers through airports by replacing paper immigration forms with online profiles, sent to the destination government the moment a flight is booked. Pre-cleared passengers get to skip the immigration form and queue using a multi-biometric BorderPass automated gate. We have received government approvals to start at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (1 and 2) in 2016. Our 5-year goal is to cover all major ASEAN and Asia Pacific airports after.
