𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗕𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 | 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀-𝗕𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵

The Malaysia New Zealand Chamber of Commerce is proud to be represented by our Vice Chairman, Ms Esther Yap, who was invited by HR Tech Festival Asia to deliver a Power Talk at Suntec Singapore.

Esther is also the Executive Chair of HOA – The NZ-Asia Alumni Network and Managing Director / CEO of Stellar SparX International.

The Power Talk, titled “From Boardroom to Borders: Building Cross-Border Talent Pipelines for Business Growth”, explored how organisations can move beyond reactive hiring and begin building intentional, future-ready talent ecosystems that support business growth across borders.

A key highlight of the session was an interactive icebreaker led by Esther at the opening of her talk, which immediately lit up the room with energy, laughter and engagement. The item served as a practical illustration of the talk’s central message — that opportunities are often closer than we think, but success depends on whether we are prepared, connected and ready to act.

Key themes shared during the session included:
• Translating talent strategy into cross-border business advantage
• Leveraging chambers, alumni networks and business ecosystems as strategic talent channels
• Strengthening regional partnerships and connectivity
• Turning relationships into actionable business and talent opportunities

As part of the New Zealand ASEAN Business Alliance (ABA) network, MNZCC continues to strengthen New Zealand–Malaysia business ties while creating broader regional connectivity across ASEAN.

Participation in regional platforms such as HR Tech Festival Asia helps increase MNZCC’s visibility, expand regional networks, and create valuable access for our members across Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand and the wider NZ–ASEAN region.

A sincere thank you to HR Tech Festival Asia for the invitation and opportunity to contribute to this important regional conversation.
