Early stage (seed) funding
I want to believe things are slowly changing. I think Malaysian, Singaporean, Indonesian entrepreneurial organisations should work hand in hand to create more awareness at a regional level. Individually, they’re too small to have a significant impact but together, they can form a closely knit entrepreneurship community to propel further innovation and growth.
For example, local Singaporean entrepreneuship organisations can rope in students to help organise a web 2.0 conference in either Jakarta or Kuala Lumpur. It’s a win win situation I think. For one, Jakarta/KL gets introduced to a growing phenomena and the Singaporean organisations expand their networks.

Heh, a site that provides a different (honest? ignorant? angry? you decide) take on the entrepreneurship situation in Singapore . . . and to a certain extent might be applicable to Malaysia. Thanks to Ramkumar.

I was listed as one of 31 Malaysian Tech Blogs here. It’s music to my ears, really, to have found out that there are plenty of other Malaysians blogging about technology and the internet out there. Looking forward to meeting some of them once I am back home some day.
I think the web initiatives that are taking place in Singapore/Stockholm can be replicated in Malaysia by these folks. The current enthusiasm in Singapore about web2.0 should hit our shores anytime soon. 
There is hope!

According to Techcrunch,
“Collaborative annotation of web pages is far from a new concept. We’ve covered the field previously; there is a variety of startups competing in this space all offering similar feature sets.
Singapore based SharedCopy though looks like it might be the next step forward.
It’s annotations on web pages, and more.”

Finally, I wanted to do this for a long time….
Big up to the following organisations and the people behind it for promoting the internet revolution back in Singapore. These guys are the pioneers of web2.0 awareness, technology and industry blogging and more. They have also helped to create an enormous public awareness regarding the useful-ness of the web (blogging, web2.0 etc) and to bridge the knowledge divide between Silicon Valley and Singapore.
The best part? They’re all students. =) Some of them are graduates of the NOC program and I am sure all of them will be the who’s who of the web2.0 industry in Singapore in the very near future. Cheers mates and look forward to meeting you guys back in Singapore later this year.
Malaysia, where art thou?

Pretty much old news but still exciting indeed. Apparently they will be situated a couple of stories below/above Microsoft’s HQ in Singapore.
Elevator gossip will never be the same again.
