Letter:We are not a serialgrantpreneur
This is not really an open letter.
It’s more like a confession. Please treat this as a reminder for all of us that we’re in a world full of venal minds. People who will always try to snatch something if not everything from you. Be aware friends, be really aware.
You are invited to spread this around. Thank you.

No kidding. But anyway, they approved it at 1 April 2011. I bet they were fooling around.And looking at this thing, it pains me too.
somebody gonna get hurt real baaaaaad
Oops sorry coz I stole your 1st hehehe
It’s painful really seeing this happens over and over again and we continually has to live in this tainted industry..
But it’s cool though. thats how life rolls
Get a room
Or I am the one that is going to be hurt real bad, point is these idiots still dont understand the power of social media, lets see how these dumbfucks deal with this one
no you won’t. These dumbfucks will be hurt real bad.
Good luck man, we’re with you.
I approve of this message. If you ever need introduction to honest good investors to help you expand and grow your business, I’d be more than happy to help set something up. No kick-backs or commission BS.
lepas kes WSA 2007, memang tobat la aku nak deal dgn diorang
aku blur aku tak paham. this is more like insider story for those who knows
those outside the circle garu kepala like me. I really tak paham what this letter is all about?
sorry but a more well written and detailed blog entry would help shed some light for noobs and nufags like me.
Hint: the last para is the main takeaway point.
That’s some shitty timeline to get a grant. Bravo for shoving that back into their throats.
Looks like u guys have potential, perhaps what you need is VC / Angel money but not grants anymore. With VC / Angel, you get valuable guidance and pave inner roads towards your milestones as a whole.
Sadly the VC scene in Malaysia is practically non existant except for 1 or 2. Rest are m’sian angels, you can check ViC (www.vic.org.my), and 2 angel investors that i came across.. Lu Pat Ng (not sure of address) and
Mark Lee (@TheEdge on Twitter)
this is hilarious! i’m with you 2!
I agree with your action and solute you for it. Though feel that you could be more graceful in your letter.
1 year? Ridiculous!
14months? balik kampung lar…14months can do more things rather than waiting…
and looks like the kickbacks some quarter wan this time is too huge…
thanks for posting this up…
Gelak Pisyek: keh keh keh
Salute! let see what next
Biasa la kerja Gomen maaa…. cepat apa? Baru 14 bulan. Belum sampai 2 tahun lagi.
Dude for technology grant that was a very long wait! The idea which they might pitched 1 year ago might became obselete already! Traction will be lost cause user lose interest on the product because the product is now to common,general,everyone is doing it.and most important at all the cost which the company might be having will be double like engineers become much more expensive than 1 year ago and the technology is different no one might not even want to use it anymore.
Grant allocation duit dah ade disburse la cepat,ni bukan payment jamuan makan tahunan.

Assuming all is good submission-wise, that’s a wonderful 1-year wait.
Thank you for sharing Meran!
