Why "e-Kata"

Kata is basically WORD in Bahasa Malaysia. Word is the basis of any sentence or conversation

How it started

We just wanted to promote the language to people who never knew it exists. There is also a need to fill the vacuum in the availability of online course for Bahasa Malaysia designed by professional instructional designers and verified by subject matter experts. e-Kata's initial development was funded by MOSTI              ( Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation). Although the initial idea seemed to be more about patriotisme, we need to make it sustainable as a business. We will have to charge for subscription for access to the course. It was launched publicly in August of 2009 although it was beta tested three months prior to the launch. As of right now, we are definitely, like most other new innovative services, be spending more than we are earning. And we are keeping the subscription fees low to make it affordable and attractive.
