Karangkraf has bright future in printing industry by upholding Islamic principles
SHAH ALAM - Karangkraf Media Group (Karangkraf) has a bright future in the printing industry.
The publishing company was praised by students from overseas for upholding Islamic principles in all of its publications.
A Babson College business and entrepreneurship student Cailey Sapienza, 21, said based on her observation during a visit to the company, Karangkraf was different from media companies in the United States (US).
In the US, she said publishing companies would only think about making profits and would even publish reading materials which did not benefit the readers.
"I feel that there is something different about Karangkraf as it would only publish novels, books or magazines that bring value to readers and it would not publish materials that would not benefit people.
"It is different back in our place. Anything that can be sold and make money will still be published even though they are not good.
“There’s a huge difference. This is what I noticed,” she told Sinar Daily.
Sapienza added that through the visit, students could learn about the culture, corporate ethics, and different values in business.
Meanwhile, Noah Platt, 23, a student from the same college said he managed to gain knowledge about business in the publishing industry in Malaysia during his visit to Karangkraf.
"I just saw and felt a new experience. Karangkraf uses a different approach, which is digital media. The future of this company is definitely very bright.
"I think we really gained a lot of experience during our visit here.
“Combining business and ethics, especially Islamic moral values, makes it something different from other publishing companies," he added.
Yesterday, a total of 75 students from the Babson College, International Islamic University College Selangor (KUIS) and Yayasan Selangor made a visit to Karangkraf, here.
The visit was to aimed at expand the minds of the students and to give them exposure to the world of work.
This study tour was organised by Bina Pavo, a business advisory firm that has invested in building unique entrepreneurial capital, particularly related to talent, intellectual property, and social capital based in Selangor.
