Outside Work

Based in Shah Alam with my wife (Financial Controller at a Malaysian GLC) and our six-year-old daughter. I do the school pickup daily. I run, row on a Concept2, cook seriously, and sort Lego pieces by type before building — the same pre-sort instinct I apply to frameworks and strategic problems.

I hold the 30/70 as a working thesis for transformation and I try to hold it honestly for my own life too. The work in this document is the 30 that others can see. The 70 is everything the work rests on and none of it is mine — health, family, a supportive spouse whose own career is secure, a settled child, parents who are well, a neighbourhood that has stayed safe, a mother-in-law who is kind, a daycare five minutes away, a team and a few trusted confidants at work who hold the fort so I can travel, focus, and do the work that needs doing, encounters that happened to be with the right people at the right time, and the many ways things could have gone wrong across twelve years and didn't. I've come to see that clearly enough to say it plainly — these are Godly blessings, and that is the 70% that everything else rests on.
