Last year was a hectic year for me. With a lot of testing moments that I hope I can appreciate in the coming years ahead of me. Like the late Steve Jobs say, you can only connect the dots when you look back. I’m hoping whatever experience I have for 2011 will be the foundation for a better future.

I have been in the tech circle and the entrepreneurship circle for a number of years in Malaysia. I have always regard Silicon Valley as a very special place, some sort of Mecca for entrepreneurs. My visit there was a mind boggling experience and it is a place where i would like to stay longer. Maybe to do a start-up of my own
After being there, talking to VCs, angel investors and visiting the tech giants around. I came into one conclusion. IMHO, Malaysia with its plans to emulate Silicon Valley has still a long way to go. Silicon Valley is special because of the soft aspect – people. Not its infrastructure, it is something that more Government officials need to realise.
