When I go to restaurants or fast food places, there are usually exciting seasonal options to try. In Singapore, for example, McDonald’s has rolled out burgers with different flavors over the years, such as the nasi lemak and the sweet chili fish. While variety is the spice of life,I just want an old reliable sometimes, like a cheeseburger. It’s fuss-free and easy. It may be boring in contrast to the other options, but it hits the spot every time. This idea of “boring is good” applies to startups as well. In a sector full of emerging tech and thrilling innovations, it’s sometimes the ones that look “boring” that are the most interesting. My colleague Emmanuel delves into one such company in today’s premium story. -- Stefanie  ---------------------------------------------------------------  THE BIG STORY [The Malaysian battery replacement startup supercharging to IPO]( Bateriku has attracted some of Malaysia’s largest institutional investors and is set on making larger bets, one of which is expansion to Indonesia. ---------------------------------------------------------------  VISUAL STORY OF THE DAY [Indonesia’s top-funded tech companies in the last decade]( Which companies in the country are getting the lion’s share of investments?
