Chairman, FRIM Incorporated Sdn Bhd Former Non Executive Chairman at MyCreative Ventures Sdn. Bhd. [ ESG . Creative Economy . MSME . Entrepreneurship ]
During PERDASAMA - Singapore Malay Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SMCCI), I was asked on my opinion of the VC industry outlook for Malaysia especially following KL20 and the launch of VC industry blueprint: Our VC scene started in 1992 where Tan Sri Omar Abdul Rahman and Dato' Anuar Mohd Nor pioneered the landscape via establishment of Malaysian Technology Development Corporation. Then, early 2000s, Malaysia Venture Capital Management Berhad was established and other bank based VC started. Later around 2010's private VC started to flourish. Now, 30 years plus later, I have witnessed progress and repeat re-learn in our VC scene. The newly VC industry masterplan/Roadmap strengthen the capital regulatory and linkages side of the industry. This is a good progress. If we asking for the success of Malaysian VC industry, we need to put efforts on churning "Quality Deal flow". "Deal flow" is the life of any VC operation. But, presence of "abundance quality deal flow" will loud Malaysia itself as the space for VC. Grab, TheLorry and CARSOME are among "quality deal flow" from the country. They are rooted from programs delivered by Cradle Fund and Malaysian Global Innovation & Creativity Centre (MaGIC). Thus, a lot lesson learned could be garnered and gathered from past CEOs like Ashran Dato' Ghazi, Dzuleira Abu Bakar, arwah Nazrin Hassan team, etc. for strategizing another round of success in building up "quality deal flow" offering. Building up, ya. Not riding on existing close to success victim 😅. This space is not mere investing. Dato' Anuar Mohd Nor, Dato' Norhalim and "Arwah Nazrin Hassan" are still the leading example. Note: Al Fatihah untuk arwah Nazrin Hassan. 😁

I can’t quite believe we’re halfway through 2024 already! Reflecting on our achievements over recent months, I continue to be so excited about #SSEA - a region that’s brimming with opportunities, fueled by #innovation, a deep commitment to free trade and a vibrant new economy. Here’s a spotlight on just a few of the many highlights: • Our new USD 1 bn ASEAN Growth Fund is propelling #digital platform businesses across the region, including AI-powered car marketplace Carro and leading fintech platform Akulaku Group. It’s all part of our super #ASEAN campaign, which is helping unlock the growth potential of firms operating around the region. • We are supporting the growth aspirations of clients in traditional sectors as well as the #neweconomy: Our USD 300 mn green and social loan is empowering eFishery to reach more smallholder farmers across Indonesia and we're enhancing our partnership with Gene Solutions through a social loan to support healthcare in Vietnam, Singapore and beyond. • We're amplifying our efforts to strengthen cross-corridor #growth. The #EV roundtable dinner held in Indonesia which gathered top Chinese EV players, was a fantastic platform for collaboration, while the signing of an MoU with Thailand’s Board of Investment marks a significant milestone in our commitment to fostering further #FDI into the market. • We've continued to invest in our people on the topics that will future-proof their success: from leadership resilience and non-financial risk, to sustainability and AI. A huge thanks to our incredible teams and clients for their continued trust in us. Here’s to an exciting H2! #HSBCASEAN #HSBCInternationalBank #Growth #People Noor Aladhami, Sunil Veetil, David Harrity, Dominic Labram, Andrea de Vincentiis, Maria Grava, Kathleen Britain, Michael Cooper, Manoj Dugar, Ian Tandy MBE, Suzie Keady, Ajay Sharma, Riko Tasmaya, Karel Avni Doshi, Steve Hughes, Priya Kini, Stuart Rogers, Ahmed Yeganeh, Daphne Lee, Gerard Haughey, Hajrah Sakauloo, Krisda Phatcharoen, Mimi Concha
