I discovered the demand, and then I discovered the supply line that I could go for. And it was fantastic for those six years. I guess the reason what actually changed significantly was that regulations went down. That means credit cards in Malaysia were becoming much easier to purchase overseas. So I was starting to lose my advantage.

And the second one was like you having the likes of Lazada, Q10, all arriving and they were gladly throwing money to lose money. And I realised that my game is up and I decided that maybe this is a part of my phase of journey that I decided that it's time to actually move on.

And at that moment in time, coming back to Singapore and meeting my fiancé, I realised that life is becoming more deeply back-rooted into Singapore. So just to give you a little bit of context, what really transpired during that point in time in Malaysia.

And I also wanted to highlight to the audience, it's really interesting that sometimes when you've been to a place, it doesn't mean that it's the end in your life journey. In fact, this year, my venture capitalist company, we have actually gone full circle and I'm back in Malaysia very often is because half my team is in Malaysia.

My startup portfolio companies have built a huge regional ops HQs, not just one, but I think three or four of them have done that as well. So it's coming back to full circle and I do understand the Malaysian psyche and I feel that I'm not coming back as someone who is unknown to the Malaysian sea. I know it for the last 20 years.

So I think it's just to give a little bit of context when, you know, some people when they go overseas to another country, does not mean that's the end. You may actually end up going back there once again. So it's just a little bit very interesting about life experiences, how it comes back to you.

Wish I could tell you, Vince, that I'm a very organised person. I am a very good forecaster of my life, knowing where my life was going. To be honest, it was more of circumstances and situations and opportunities that just appeared. If you ask me, like, some certain...

crossroads in my life for example heading off to Malaysia instead of China I felt that was the right thing to do in fact it was part of my prompting was a very good high school friend of mine just told me do you want to be the son of Mr Quack or do you want to be Christopher Quack if you want to go back to China running that whole factory everybody knows Mr Quack and you are just his son.

But if you actually go out there and do things on your own, no matter how scary it is, to be very honest, when I went into Malaysia, I had no contacts. I only had my university friends who were willing to open doors and talk to me. I didn't have as much resources as I could. I was really more on my own during that time.

But I feel that is the most biggest takeaway that I got out of it was I found myself. I found my identity. I found myself going through a phase of learning and growing because I'm trying to put it into context with another friend, a very wealthy second-gen family.
