DNA: GE13 Online Grid / Jobstreet Hits Milestone / Social Messaging Apps / DNA Special Disrupt

Gabey Goh and A. Asohan talks about how the telecommunications infrastructure in Malaysia managed to accommodate the onslaught of SMSes, website updates and browsing and social media chatter during the 13th General Elections despite fears and rumours that there will be network disruption. Following that, they say congratulations to Jobstreet for crossing the RM1 billion market cap and is now the most successful Internet company in South East Asia. Next up, they discuss a study by Ovum that showed social messaging apps will cost telco operators US$32.6bil and how vital is it for telcos to work closely with OTT players. Before ending the show, Digital News Asia (DNA) is celebrating its one year mark by organizing a special Disrupt series happening on May 15th at the Securities Commision with Mark Chang, founder of JobStreet.com and still its CEO; Roshan Thiran, founder and CEO of Leaderonomics; Goh Ai Ching, co-founder and CEO of Piktochart and DNA’s Karamjit Singh as panelist with BFM's very own Malek Ali as the moderator.
