Me (kengyew) and Mike Tee presented in Barcamp JB over the last weekend about how to obtain government grant funding from MDEC worth RM150K! We talked about some of the common ideas that MDEC has heard before. We talked about some ideas that MDEC would LIKE to hear. We talked about specific application issues that annoy MDEC staff to no-end (please do not annoy MDEC if you want money). Here are the slides ( Hopefully next time we’ll get the entire presentation onto omnisio)
afterthought: I realize some of the slides dont make much sense without explanations, so maybe i’ll try to post an add-on within the next day or 2. cheers.
If you have any questions regarding the slides please contact

Thanks so much for this. I missed your session at BarcampJB and is happy to see this post.
And, sorry for the confusion as well. I thought you looked quite different from the last time I met you.
I heard that if your project fail within a certain period, you need to pay back the money, is that true?

@uzyn, no worries man
i almost missed my own session too ha ha ha..
@Jason, we dont need to pay any money back unless we do not deliver our prototype as specified within our application forms.
Good one Keng Yew! Great job and that’s really ‘to the point’ tips for pitching the 150k Preseed fund.
Should have know you in person earlier, so I no need to stress test myself for six times …. zzz.
I love your 321 rules… pretty important and close to the core of ’success factor’ for getting preseed grant.
Cheers!
