East Ventures on Instagram: "At our 10th Anniversary event, Chng Kai Fong (Managing Director of the Singapore Economic Development Board) shared his impression when meeting Willson Cuaca for the first time: . "I found his character is very strange because he was telling me about his investment strategy and he said that he doesn't need to look at the business plan. He sees the founder, and sometimes he doesn't even need to see the founder and just pick up the phone. After half a minute, he will decide. I said, what is this crazy weirdo telling me? Then I check him up, asked a few people, and I said: Wow! This guy is like the seed king of Indonesia. Thus, I began to be more intrigued about what's happening here? What’s happening in this brain of his?” He said. . Kai Fong also explained his perspective on the relationship between Indonesia and Singapore in the digital economy landscape. . According to him, Indonesia is Singapore’s closest neighbor and play a very important part of its economy. That's why he always tell every Singaporean entrepreneurs that they can't start a business for Singapore alone. They have to expand their venture to other countries in the region like Indonesia, and also learn Bahasa Indonesia. . However, Kai Fong said that the digital economy in Southeast Asia is still in the infant stage. That’s why we need to keep our heads down, keep working, especially in luring digital talents from all over the world to come here and contribute to the industry. .
