This page sums up what 2018 meant for me.
Inspiring Youth in Drone Sport
November 2018: I was invited by the stakeholders of Malaysia Sports Aviation Federation, Airsports Federation of Asia, to assist in raising sponsorship funds for Team Malaysia. It would be the first FAI sanctioned airsports event of its kind, and over 45 countries would be represented. I reached out to several partners including Jack Chan, a young startup ecosystem entrepreneur who brought in co-sponsor Malaysian Digital Economy Corporation with the support from ecosystem partner DOJO KL and Team Malaysia, comprising of two drone racing pilots and one helper made their way to the FAI World Drone Racing Championships in Shenzhen, China. There’s so much more to do for this nascent industry. It started with boys playing footy with their consoles and not feet back in 2008 when I delved in to eSports. With such expert fingers, drone piloting is only a natural progression for humanity, don’t you think?

March 2015: My team and I have been building software for PR & event managers and rolled out RSVP by Go International Group Dotcom. After having been in the industry for almost 12 years, we’ve put all of what we’ve learnt to help event managers streamline the process of managing guest RSVPs. This is the same engine that will power all of the events we organise; technology conference, fundraising dinners to fun runs (during our early days, we processed thousands of runners for the MERCY Malaysia International Humanitarian Run using google docs, and figured there must be a better more seamless way to do this! So we hired a few programmers and worked closely with them to create the ultimate software for event managers). We are proud to have been selected as the white-label service for two large American multinationals since our launch.
Accompanying RSVP, we also started working on PRNews by Go International Group Dotcom, a news release writing, translation and dissemination software. Mention my name to get a 5% promo code discount.
NowNowNow
This page is the result of an email I sent Derek Sivers (founder, CDbaby.com) to invite him to speak at a tech event. He said No, but sent me to his NOW project page 🙂 Through him, I’ve also learnt to appreciate the power of saying No. Saying No politely and declining to do things that are not in line with your overall mission is in fact empowering and helps focus on what you truly wish to achieve without merely pleasing someone else. I’m learning it’s actually easier to say Yes, than No and it’s been quite difficult to unlearn saying Yes.
