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

[Digital News Asia @DNewsAsia]

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.

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 is one of those Beyond Bodo decisions that have become common in Boleh Land. Absolutely staggeringly Bodo decision by the supremely ignorant.

[Dr. Rais Hussin @raishussin]

This is so bad, so very bad in many levels. I don’t understand why Malaysians can accept this. Why Malaysians are “over patient” with such blatantly wrong thing to do ? Have Malaysians simply lost their marbles ? 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

[karamjit singh @karamjitDNA]

oops, my bad .. @madeq does not need a Twitter account ! Congrats, bro !

[karamjit singh @karamjitDNA]

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!

[Digital News Asia @DNewsAsia]

@FuturiseCyber announces the departure of Mahadhir Aziz as the CEO effective 31 August 2021 https://t.co/cSKMLNDDpk

[karamjit singh @karamjitDNA]

@yoshimushu69 @DNewsAsia @raishussin @mymdec Apologies for the 2-months late reply but they are supposed to release their 2020 annual report and many are waiting for that ! @ChairmanMdec

[karamjit singh @karamjitDNA]

@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!

[Digital News Asia @DNewsAsia]

In launching Cohort 3 @ScaleupMalaysia announced that it has entered into partnership with 
@QuestVentures01 & Indelible Ventures to be part of its effort to further scale its chosen scaleups https://t.co/dDXpnrAFnr #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!

[Digital News Asia @DNewsAsia]

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 https://t.co/5xYC54mZlO

[karamjit singh @karamjitDNA]

@mistahasnul @MoneyMattersTV3 @axiata Late to the game here... but think he would be pretty awesome. And demanding! Everyone, from CEO down, has to up their game. But that will be great for Malaysia and the tech ecosystem.

[karamjit singh @karamjitDNA]

@EzekielZane @DNewsAsia @RafizaGhaz @naluri_my @azranosmanrani hah ! there's no strategy here la. And I absolutely did not disparage (head to look this one up) her. Do re-read that article from 13 months ago. And, I love @karaswisher work as a tech journalist. You should listen to her recent interview with Tim Cook.

[karamjit singh @karamjitDNA]

Interesting show today with @RafizaGhaz who celebrates 1-year on the job and @azranosmanrani
who credits @cradlefundsb with his success as well. Bring your questions! Did Cradle chairman @yc_yvonnechia make the right call in picking Rafiza?

[Digital News Asia @DNewsAsia]

Has @RafizaGhaz made a difference to the tech ecosystem since taking over the reins at Cradle Fund? And what's next for @naluri_my's @azranosmanrani after raising US$5 mil? Tune in at 6pm, today to find out.

[karamjit singh @karamjitDNA]

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

[Digital News Asia @DNewsAsia]

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?

[Digital News Asia @DNewsAsia]

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 https://t.co/PsECr3wwn5

[karamjit singh @karamjitDNA]

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?
