Open For Business - BumiSains

The husband and wife team started BumiSains in 1976 as a supplier of scientific apparatus to schools throughout the country. Since its inception, supporting education and research has been at the core of their business. They began setting up research plants in the area of biotechnology for private colleges and research institutes. However, sustaining a business for 40 years is not an easy task as they have survived through three recessions and now, the weak currency. Shaman Gaspar, the second generation of the business talks about their future plans.
