As @fahmi_fadzil left DNA's #digerati50 at 7.45pm last Fri to head back to work, I told him, that's what the tech ecosystem expects..25 hours of his time 7 days a week..for the first 6 months he needs to be 'extremely hardcore'. Becoming the Asian Digital Tiger will not come easy
Minister of Communications Malaysia, @fahmi_fadzil talked about his vision for Malaysia to be the new Asian Digital Tiger at DNA's Digerati60 Networking event, hosted by @CyberviewMY with @mtrade_asia, @Fusionexgroup, and @Celcom @digitelco as co-sponsors

Hah ! Anyone who knows @BikeshL knows that his real name is Bikesh (no-nonsense) Lakhmichand ! But this is really useful advice for aspiring/wet behind the ears founders.
5 tips to make your pitch irresistible ➡️
We at 1337 Ventures have heard and seen hundreds of startups pitch to us and to angel investors.

Analysis&opinions also on 5 other digital related news including ongoing robust media coverage of M'sia's 5G rollout. DNB's initial 10 years commitment contract to the telcos has now been halved to 5 years. Will it be attractive enough for them? More headlines to come for sure.
This week’s NADI show saw Karamjit cheering for @myegclub 's POC Automated Training and Driving Test System that he hopes can be the beginning of the end of the insidious two-tier pricing learner drivers are given by their driving schools. Pass or No Pass.

This is one of those Beyond Bodo decisions that have become common in Boleh Land. Absolutely staggeringly Bodo decision by the supremely ignorant.
DNA has reliably learnt that Mahadhir (who will now need to get a twitter account) will be clocking in to work on Sept 1 as the next MDEC CEO. He better find an extra hour in the day as he will need to put in 25-hour days to revive MDEC's momentum and help it regain its oomph!
@FuturiseCyber announces the departure of Mahadhir Aziz as the CEO effective 31 August 2021 bit.ly/3z8XhJY
@ScaleupMalaysia and its venture accelerator program is going from strength to strength with regional VC @QuestVentures01 partnering them again and welcoming a US VC that has a Malaysian only focused fund, Indelible Ventures ! Still time to apply for all you founders out there!

@QuestVentures01 & Indelible Ventures to be part of its effort to further scale its chosen scaleups bit.ly/3ja6NXB #startups #acceleratorprogram

Finally, some closure to the endless rumors swirling about Surina's tenure as CEO, which was due to end mid Jan 2022. She had the support of @ChairmanMdec all the way and would have wanted to see through her tenure. But it all got too much in the end. Wish her all the best!
There is finally some closure to the constant rumours circulating around the CEO position at @mymdec with the Board announcing that Surina Shukri has stepped down bit.ly/3xUjqKP

This quoted post is unavailable.
It has been a gruelling journey to close this round but if anyone can handle hardship it is Mr Triathlon. DNA understands that the valuation is in the US$29 mil range. Well done @azranosmanrani ..definitely more to come from you and @naluri_my

Stephen Francis and team have poured heart, soul, blood, sweat, tears, money and borrowings into building @mygroser .. is that not enough for the startup gods?
With funding slow to come in @mygroser is appealing to customers, supporters to come in by midnight today (Fri, June 4th) to help them raise US$194,000 by buying their vouchers. This is the last resort by its founders to help the startup stay alive bit.ly/3cePuAS
Shades of the Grab-Uber merger. While both parties hail the benefits consumers and real estate agents will enjoy, agents can almost certainly expect to pay higher listing prices. Will they have a choice/other options with the dominant market position this merger creates?
KRR-backed @SGPropertyGuru is set to acquire all of the shares in ASX-listed @REA_Group’s operating entities in Malaysia & Thailand bit.ly/2SFA81p

Shared opinions on @Petronas creating a 'Digital Democracy', @ipriceMY raising a small US$1.5mil from Korea's Woowa Brothers..it this a precursor to a bigger bite by them? @Babydash8 raising RM1mil via ECF & our suffering Gen Z who don't like WFH it seems.

Not heard much from Kendrick over the past year. One would think there is an even greater need for fashion retailers to adopt analytics @Omnilyticsco
A go-getter who chased down leading VC @khailee & convinced him to fork out US$400k in 2013, Kendrick Wong is taking a measured approach to growing his fashion #analytics #startup @Omnilyticsco bit.ly/3aCMuNP #digerati50 #digitaleconomy #entrepreneurship
Ecosystem leaders are giving @Khairykj credit for the consolidation that he has just triggered at his ministry. TPM-MaGIC is the first step. But @Dzuebaker needs the mandate to form her own team, or this won't work.
@Khairykj is putting his faith in @Dzuebaker to deliver through the newly established commercialization & innovation agency. With a huge responsibility thrust on to her shoulders the question is, will she get the support she needs to succeed? bit.ly/32P439o
Fabian's almost 4 years stint with Pemandu gave him the edge over the other 3 shortlisted candidates. Good to see ecosystem leaders such as @aaronsarma reaching out to work with Fabian to help make MyDigital a success.
The wait is finally over as the govt has picked Fabian Bigar as the CEO of MyDigital! @aaronsarma & Raj Ridvan Singh share their thoughts on the appointment, including the willingness of ecosystem leaders to work with him to make the blueprint a reality bit.ly/32nqgLt
