The amount raised is less than half the figure from the same period last year and the lowest level in six years.\nBy comparison, funds raised on the Malaysian bourse stands at $531 million, the Indonesian and Philippines exchanges have each attracted $2.3 billion, while the Thai bourse has topped $3.5 billion.\nAs Southeast Asian tech dealmaking booms https://www.reuters.com/world/the-great-reboot/southeast-asia-tech-dealmaking-booms-investors-place-post-covid-bets-2021-08-27, Singapore is looking to attract more attention after some major companies chose to list elsewhere in recent years.\nSingapore-based gaming and e-commerce firm Sea listed in the United States in 2017, for example, and is now valued at $182 billion. Southeast Asian ridehailing and delivery firm Grab is also listing https://www.reuters.com/business/grab-announce-merger-with-us-spac-be-valued-nearly-40-bln-sources-2021-04-13 in the United States, via a blank-check firm, while gaming firm Razer debuted in Hong Kong in 2017.\nVinnie Lauria, a founding partner at Singapore-based Golden Gate Ventures, welcomed the government's attempts to foster startup success.\n\"This is another example of Singapore using capital and smart government programs to promote itself as the hub for Southeast Asia startups.\"\nRobson Lee, a partner at law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, said the Singapore market has the potential to \"punch above its light weight by being better organised and coordinated to attract unicorns and high technology global corporates\".","kind":null,"is_publish_news":null,"is_publish_highlight":null,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9005149783,"gmtCreate":1642212401993,"gmtModify":1676533693257,"author":{"id":"4105273857345750","authorId":"4105273857345750","name":"7a5dff6c","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9005149783","repostId":2169341630,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":869876851,"gmtCreate":1632275827473,"gmtModify":1676530741090,"author":{"id":"3569379973417395","authorId":"3569379973417395","name":"LEngLEng","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a6eb8d5f9130d054d135b849ead65ff","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f84d87792f02cf78e80ee34979fd31e5","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"htmlText":"[Strong]&nbsp;","listText":"[Strong]&nbsp;","text":"[Strong]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/869876851","repostId":2169341630,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":869828891,"gmtCreate":1632273658513,"gmtModify":1676530740340,"author":{"id":"3581999478634265","authorId":"3581999478634265","name":"woonws","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f26ed1a10ee84ab97229aad191ef3133","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Why
