Let me say this. The biggest underlying problem with Malaysian "Technopreneurs" is the reliance on Gov to provide you with funding. While I think its great that the Gov gives out such grants, my personal believe is that they shouldn't. Not at all. To no one, no matter how great your idea is. This causes the exact situation we r seeing here where people who get it sometimes abuse it ( or not) and people who don't whine ( or not ). What happened to the real spirit of Entrepreneurship ? What happened to starving days and running around to get your idea across to VCs and selling your services.
I'll give a shout out to Inigo Consulting ( Kage and Kaeru and crew) because they stood for principles of entrepreneurship. ( Correct me if I am wrong). They pooled their own money/allocated shares and sell their services to those who need them to make their paycheck. I had a very interesting conversation with them individually over separate occasions and its great to see how they have flourished through thick and thin. Most so called "Technopreneurs" in Malaysia don't deserve the damn title. Just get out and do your thing. Don't keep hoping for a freaking lottery from the Gov or any other party involved ( MDEC, etc - No offense to u Rafe.) Your busines strategy should be, hey if I get it great, but I should not consider it at all. Work with what I have and move to greater heights. If I was in charge, my first order of business would be to cancel grants to ALL parties. -BRIAN RITCHIE On Wed, May 19, 2010 at 5:03 PM, rafe azsnal <[email protected]> wrote: > Raja, when the boat ride...? love to take a cruise with you. we go > pusing pusing. > > honestly i try to stop myself from replying to this childish respond > from you red1. who am i to say YOU are the WORLD LEADER when i am only > a macai working to feed my family. am i fortunate to have know you? > ermmm.. not too sure now. but then i have learn so much from you and > from everyone else that was involve and i thank you. maybe i am too > naive to think that i could change the world but then reality came and > slap me on the face "Hoi bangun la" reality told me..
