Rest in peace to Malaysia’s Bapa Pembangunan Insan Negara. During his 6 years as Prime Minister, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi made significant contributions to Malaysia’s social and economic development. He was a leader who believed in humility and collaboration — famously saying, “Work with me, not for me.” (Kerja dengan saya, bukan untuk saya)

I’m grateful to have had the honour of receiving my scroll from Tun during my graduation at UTP. A brief but meaningful encounter — his humble and genuine smile still stays with me, as I simply said, “Thank you, Tun.” ☺️

Jasamu dikenang. Al-Fatihah. 🕊️🇲🇾

9 advices for the twenty something’s:

1️⃣Try everything you can, from travelling solo to scuba diving to bungee jumping to baking class. But do it one at a time.

2️⃣Start learning to do things alone. If you always wait for other people, you will miss out A LOT!

3️⃣Talk to people. Put your phone away. Really talk and indulge in the conversation. Sometimes, it’s that one people you met that change your life entirely.

4️⃣Say yes to OPPORTUNITIES. If you fail, you have plenty of time ahead of you to make amend. Most of the things you regret are the things you didn’t do…

5️⃣If you’re exhausted by someone then stop hanging out with them. Preserve your energy for something useful and set boundaries.

6️⃣Be the person you’re searching for. Talk less, more action. Like attract like. That’s how you attract people you want to have.

7️⃣Make new friends. Put yourself out there. Join mission calling, join conference, join any workshop. Explore the world.

8️⃣Being single is luxury. Travel, enjoy your quiet time. Unwind. Reflect. Don’t waste time with the wrong person.

9️⃣Start SAVING as young as your twenties. You can embrace the YOLO concept but always leave some portion for the later, learn to BALANCE. Your retirement may seem far off but 20’s is your prime time, you’re healthy and have all the freedom, do side hustle, invest, diversify your source of income. The earlier you start, the less financial strain you’ll face later. 🔥

Take the last one seriously. Setuju dak? 👍🏻
