Another early morning for us, Exabees, who were preparing the event necessities for Day two. Even though there was a serious traffic jam along the LDP, it did not deter our participants and Exabees from arriving at the scene.

The morning started of with some refreshments and when most participants had taken to their seats, Exabytes CEO, Mr. Chan Kee Siak kick-started the day with his opening speech for Day 2.

Subsequently, our MC Mr. Vickson Tan gave a recap of Day 1’s highlights and what’s in store for Day 2.

Our first speaker was Mr. Clement of EasyParcel.

In his talk, he introduced an easier way for eCommerce owners to deliver merchandises to their customers’ doorstep as well as an effective platform to compare the courier service fees.

Perhaps one of our most exciting topics of the day was “The Goods and Service Tax in Malaysia” by Vimmy Yap, Chief Advisor for GST Vintage Sdn Bhd.

During her session, she even gave away an invite to her own seminar on GST, worth around RM900+ to one of our lucky participants who answered her question correctly.

After a short tea break with Subway on the menu, Co-Founder of MilkADeal, Mr. Wilson Quah talked about his journey before he built up the online shopping trend. He is a young and talented man and a good speaker indeed.
