Thoughts by A Lecturer

Dear Fellow Indians,

Greetings! I am working as a lecturer, researcher supervisor, and statistician in Thailand, in two institutions of higher learning. I teach at bachelor's, Master's, and PhD levels. I got my PhD when I was 25+ in 2002, and now, I am the author of 4 books and go around speaking to international groups of people.

When in High School (Klang High School), I was just an average kid. What motivated me to go this far, in such a young age? Well, the answer is: I had role models... Heroes that I looked up to (the first one was a blind person who completed his PhD in the UK and became the country's economist...I forgot his name though, but I still remember his face... I read about him in the Moral Education Textbook in Form 4). Do you have one? More than one? Please do. Read about great personalities of this world... Learn from them, strive to be better than them... YOU CAN. There is nothing you cannot accomplish if you set your mind to doing. Our failures and our limitations are only in our minds. Frankly speaking, we can do anything we want to... when we want to do it badly enough.

I have been out of the country for about 14 long years. It's time I came back home... and what do I wish to do there in Malaysia? I want to help... every young person... Malay, Chinese, Indian - to believe in themselves and to become the best they can be. WE are the future and what happens tomorrow depends on our choices today. Let's make the right choices... so that tomorrow could be a better day!

Let's stand united... and bring Malaysia to its rightful pedestal in every aspect of human existence. Let's be proud to be a Malaysian... and let's do our part to build and help each other up.
