Surf Magazine: A New Wave of Entrepreneurs

As Sze Ning quoted, “Never in my lifetime would I have imagined gracing the cover of a magazine!”

Well, that was exactly what happened when Kash from Surf Magazine called up not long ago to schedule an interview on Elevyn, and invited us to a photo shoot at his studio.

The cover story was an excellent coverage of young start-ups in the Malaysian web 2.0 scene, which also featured thoughtful words from Hailer’s YK Goon and interesting projects such as Foldees, SocialWalk, Earth247 and EzyPzy.

Many thanks to Kash and James Yeang for the write-ups.

The Edge Daily: 65 websites that we like

Photobucket

Elevyn featured in 65 top malaysian websites on the Edge Daily this week. Some comments by the editors:

“The website promises more shops and products coming soon, which will offer users more reason to shop and help. Let’s hope it’s sooner rather than later.”

We hear you loud and clear. Our team will be making our next trip to Cambodia this month, and we expect 3 news shops to come online (plus an additional special guest..). So, do check back in a couple of weeks.

Thanks Dash and Ching Yee for letting us know.

The Star: Driven to Succeed

The Star newspaper recently ran a feature on Maznah Unyan, an indigenous artisan in Carey Island, Malaysia. The article provided an interesting look into Maznah’s background, and how she initiated the Tompoq Topoh initiative as a means to preserve the Mah Meri heritage and to provide income-earning opportunities for the womenfolk.

Tompoq Topoh recently set up an online store on Elevyn in hopes of reaching out to a wider market base.
