My Story

"Why don’t we give him away” were the words he heard at the age of 9.

He had just finished an argument with his dad, a common scene during his early childhood. Ray will be the first to admit that he probably wasn’t the most rule-abiding child, but somehow there was a constant battle between father and son. But this time, after wiping off the last tear in his room and hearing that his dad had left the house, he opened the door to his room to go downstairs to get some water. He stopped midway as he overheard a conversation between mom and uncle at the dining table. It was then that he overheard that sentence being said by his mom. It was words that were uttered out from his dad’s mouth when he was a heavily crying baby. It was devastating to hear and that was the moment which Ray felt he needed to prove the world wrong. 

Although today Ray and his dad is in a good relationship, the early lesson in life had a major impact on him growing up.

Ever since Ray started life with a single mum at the age of 12, he was determined that he wanted a different destination. Ray never believed in rules, and the rebel in him had taken him through unpleasant situations during his teenage days but ultimately gave him very valuable life lessons. When his peers would start enjoying parties at the age of 19, he had already grown tired of the scene and started venturing into business. 

His first venture would take him into the world of music, being part of a sound engineering team that would master the sound acoustics for local Malaysian artistes. That life had him work long and hard hours which would regularly end up until the wee hours of the morning.  This would eventually bring him to London where he spent 5 years there trying his best to have a work and study life balance. 

Unfortunately, with the high cost of living, he could not sustain himself and his school and had to drop out after the first year. He continued living in London and worked 2 jobs while starting a trading business. He had his first taste of success but blew it all on an expensive lifestyle of designer clothes and costly nightlife. 

After 2 years of working in the IT industry and his final job as a Business Process Re-engineering Consultant, Ray decided that his heart was truly in the world of business. He took his love for speaking and combined it with his skills in IT to start his own self-employed business in IT training. After 2 years of this, he then started his first company, Redynamics Asia, an IT training centre. 

His love for music and performing still burns heavily. In between managing 4 businesses, coaching more than 50 entrepreneurs at a time, he still emcees shows and performs on stage. But now he performs with a band made up of other entrepreneurs with the movement to use their passion to help those in need. All profits from their performances are donated to charity.
