Summary

I gained work experience in media field around 10 years in difference media corporations including in Malaysia and Singapore.

I agreed that people could have difference interest and work skill ability to expand more wide of work and life experience. Hence, I worked difference jobs and different work fields before including media, insurance, sales and security.

Unfortunately, I was diagnosed breast cancer (second stage) in Dec 2022 and went through medical treatments about one year. I'm recovered now when completed medical treatments, I decide to resign as journalist in July 2024 because I need time to recover body health after suffering from disease.

Nevertheless, I feel blessed and grateful because I no need to worry about my medical fees and living expenses because it all covered by different insurance plans.
