This blog is about my life, the long journey of entrepreneurship from Malaysia to Hong Kong then back to Malaysia and finally to China. Short stories I encountered and remembered ... which form what I became today.

President of Presidents
I was not contended being just the President of my school computer club, I had a hunger for more fame. I started to become my school table tennis club President which later I realized was not a popular club. Then I meet a reporter at THE STAR (*Malaysia leading newspaper) whom interviewed me on how I started my school computer club. 1 interview followed by more interviews and I became a key guy at the newspaper company.
1 day I was introduced to their chief editor of their Tech section and he asked me the ultimate question what's next after computer club? I recalled a movie probably it was about King Arthur where he was "King of Kings" so I mentioned "President of Presidents" of computer clubs jokingly. He took the idea very seriously and called me a week later to discuss the possibility of forming a 'leaque of school computer clubs' LSCC was formed fully sponsored by THE STAR. I became the founding President again uncontested and we have more than 25 school computers clubs on the leaque.
We kick started many top key events such the petition to Malaysia Minister of Science and Technology to abolish the internet fees for schools. It was the 1st time I appeared on TV handing over the petition. The biggest key event that we did was the COMP QUIZ *Battle of the Schools Computer Clubs. Comp quiz ran for many years after I left school.
The reason LSCC managed to do so many things was not because of me but it was because we gathered the top brains in more than 25 schools.
