Malaysia's deep tech growth hinges on a strong private sector driving innovation, investment, and market access. The government's role is crucial in supporting this with policies, funding, and infrastructure. Together, they create a powerful synergy, making Malaysia a hub for high-tech innovation. Private sector leads, public sector supports—this is the formula for success. #DeepTech #Innovation #Startups #PPP #Malaysia

🎯Language "mixtures" resulting from the contact between several languages are not anecdotal. They reflect how local groups of people communicate in a natural and personal way. 🔎Singlish falls into this category together with Spanglish, Frenglish or Hinglish. All these local flavors of English have been influenced by other languages and have borrowed some of their words or syntax. 👉Considering them is not only important to researchers in linguistics. It is also useful to language managers to hyperlocalize or customize content and products.

PMF vs PMF. And the concept of "Project-Market Fit"… A concept that was new to me until a founder recently enlightened me. “Sorry man, we don’t have true PMF yet. We only have PMF - Project-Market Fit”, he said. Such a humble statement coming from a founder with an amazing 10M+ downloads for his open-source software, with 100’s of forks, and 6K+ Github stars. Rather than bragging about his organic growth and global adoption for his project, he referred to it as ‘merely’ Project-Market Fit. He explained: “We have users. We have adoption: downloads, forks, usage, and developer love. But we don’t have a paid-for product. So we know that people love our software. But we don’t know if we can build a true product. If customers will pay. If we can sell. We will need to prove all that before we can say we have true Product-Market Fit." He was right. And I realised this is true for many distribution-first businesses. Startups - be it open-source, or mobile, commerce or anything - that have user growth, engagement, customer love, but are still free and not monetising yet. Some of them see crazy growth and it’s easy for founders to get enamoured and over-confident. But growth through free distribution is not enough to self-proclaim “We have PMF!” And so thinking about the concept of Project-Market Fit helps to stay humble. And hungry for proving real PMF. Building a REAL product that people pay for. So you can build a REAL business. But you have to start somewhere. So start with Project-Market Fit 👊

SMBC’s Olive brand is perhaps a top contender for best Japanese mobile / online banking service. So when they resort to doling out “points” for logging-in, I can’t help but wonder how the discussion in the product planning room went … ① “Our (mostly geriatric) users fear online banking ! We must help build their muscle memory for launching the app by enticing them with points!” ② “To keep our department alive, we must game our users to log-in and grow our MAU!” ③ “The yen is weakening ! Let’s instill confidence with our new meaningless points system !” Share in the comments below !👇 #happyfriday #jbanking
