There weren't enough relevant voices to inspire Malaysians on how to build a great career, so I started Hello Mentor to change that. Each episode features leaders and builders sharing ideas and their journey, in ways that Malaysians will connect with.
I'm a middle class Malaysian who did not grow up in a business family. I had no networks, no experience and relatively little money when I started Hiredly.
Like many Malaysians, I chose a safe, predictable path in my early career in accounting and auditing. My parents were proud. But I always felt a bit unsure, that I was really meant to be doing something else.
I made a big risky leap in my late 20s and pivoted to a career in recruitment. It turned out to be the best decision in my career. I loved what I did, and felt so lucky that I somehow found the path that I not only enjoyed, but was also good at. For the first time, I felt that my work had purpose.
Yes I got lucky. But I didn't want other Malaysians careers to have to depend on luck.
So I'm building Hiredly, and now the Hello Mentor podcast. I want to help people build careers they feel proud of. I also want companies to find the right people, not just fill a position.
I am still learning. I am still growing. But now, I can see how every step, even the confusing ones, has shaped me.
Thank you for reading.
Hiredly is a leading Malaysian recruitment platform for Gen Y and Gen Z. We focus on Malaysian youth and their early careers.
I believe our early years of work shape the rest of our lives. The first few jobs matter a lot. They build our skills, habits, and confidence. Yet this is also the time when many young people get the least support. Most job portals treat CVs like numbers. Recruitment agencies often focus more on experienced candidates, because that is how they earn more.
But then I always ask myself, who will help our youth reach that “higher value” stage?
That is why I built Hiredly, as platform to help them make better early career decisions. And Hello Mentor, as a place for them to get ideas and inspiration on how to achieve more as Malaysians.

Over the years, I've shared my ideas across different stages and media platforms.
I've been featured in major media channels such as Astro, The Edge, Bernama, The Star, and BFM, and have taken part in a global debate moderated by the BBC.
My topics focus on Gen Y and Gen Z, AI, workplace culture, and the future of work. I speak about Malaysian youth, how technology is shaping our roles, and the evolution of Malaysian company culture.
I keep things simple and practical. I share real stories, clear ideas, and lessons people can use straight away.
