Our first Teh Tarik (pulled tea) meet-up at our office in Penang went well. The gathering was akin to our western counterparts’ ‘beer nights’ which is really a way for our community to come together in an informal setting to get to know each other. It was also an opportunity to briefly update everyone on what’s going on with CREST since becoming an agency under MITI, some of the initiatives we are working on. For our next Teh Tarik, we plan on inviting several funding parties to meet the community, including Kumpulan Modal Perdana, Ilham Capital, the Hive SEA, Penjana Kapital, Openspace Ventures, Bluechip, and more! Join us!

Throwback Thursday: The launch of our Teh Tarik with CREST back in January. Teh Tarik with CREST aims to gather like-minded individuals for a casual yet impactful conversation about the development of our E&E community in Malaysia. We hope to have frequent sessions like these where we will propose exciting topics that the community can come by to experience and discuss in a casual, informal setting.
Our first session focused on the development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and local companies in Malaysia. We introduce the Local Companies Development and Transformation Committee (LCDTC) and what the committee aims to achieve.
It was a huge hit, and we want to thank everyone who joined us for making it such a successful first session. Stay tuned for our next Teh Tarik session, which will happen soon. Want to join us for our next one? Drop us a comment or a DM and we will be in touch.
