A positive start

One step at a time: A climber on Mt Agung in Indonesia,

Malaysians, it is time to believe in ourselves. It is time to embrace positivity. We are after all in this hike together.

Having relocated back after 12 years abroad to lead the Malaysian Global Innovation & Creativity Centre (MaGIC), a government-funded initiative focusing on high growth entrepreneurship development, I’ve observed that Malaysians have become more cynical and pessimistic about the state of our country. We let the voices of a negative few dictate the mood of the country and the startup ecosystem is not immune to it either.
