Award and Recognition

I have gone a long way in making a seemingly impossible challenge possible. My achievements and the recognition I received always remind and motivate me to take another step higher. I constantly remind myself to continually learn and maintain an inquisitive mind. Some how we can never stop learning.

In 2012, having graduated from University Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia, I joined a major satellite TV provider and took up their offer to be trained in the TV production field. The learning that I have acquired has been very useful in raising the quality of my productions. At the same time, I have taken up the challenge to produce TV programs for a TV station.
