"From the start, a lot of detractors predicted our demise. Some even spread rumours that we were hosting on 56k modems with a computer located in a government-subsidized housing flat," explained Mr Lim.

"We will continue to leverage upon our niche skills and the economy of scale which our large user base offers to grow new service areas as well as to continually improve upon our existing services.” added Mr Lim.
