Digital Penang

Attended a year-end dinner organised by Digital Penang at the Black Kettle Cafe in Beach Street last Friday, and met some interesting people there. Nobody that we knew but that did not deter us from networking with them. Got the chance to speak briefly with their present Chief Executive Officer, Ng Kwang Ming, who commented that their annual budget allocation of RM23 million from the Penang Government was insufficient to fund their many activities. We've attended two or three of them and found them interesting and worthwhile. Anyhow, we do agree that this sum of money is nothing much, especially in these times of inflation, but they (Digital Penang) shall have to fight this battle primarily on their own. What can we do but to highlight it, perhaps, here?
