supported by Southeast Asia entrepreneurs, but you're getting international entrepreneurs deciding to say that Southeast Asia is a great market. I'm going to try to do something about it. I'm trying to make a change in the way Southeast Asia operates. And it's always for the better. It's exciting to me to know that we are starting to embrace companies even as far as going out of Southeast Asia.

And I would feel that there were going to be very interesting dynamics as we engage more of these second gens that's coming out from other parts of outside of Southeast Asia. And all you can say is that their diversity of views, the diversity of mindsets are just going to improve things better. And they're going to be sharing a lot of best practices over to the

next generation business owners here in Southeast Asia. And I think that really excites me where you get two of them together, they have a conversation and person A teaches person B what he has been doing and person B says, I'm going to bring this back over to my family business to endorse, to apply it, to work on it and see the improvement.

So it's exciting to see that kind of a network effect that we're seeing, not just for our startups, but the next gens who are entrepreneurs themselves. They are also somewhat, in a sense, a pseudo kind of startup founders themselves, trying to transform a business to become something very vastly different. Yeah, I think that's the really exciting thing about it.

Being an entrepreneur and also supporting entrepreneurs because you are just happily living in your own world, coming up with new ideas, brainstorming to find the best solution. I think that really is something that excites me a lot.

When you talk to fellow next-gen business owners, there is a lot of emotions that will come out when we describe this whole relationship with our parents. It's complex because it's personal and it's business at the same time, right?

I wanted to also point out in a very interesting way, when I left the whole business, it was a point that it took many years for my father to really accept who I was, being an entrepreneur in my own right, but not taking on his legacy. And it was a close ending where he's currently now in a more retired mode. And he decided to sell off that particular factory that I was there 20 years ago.

And they finally have sold it. So I think there was a bit of a closure. So if you ever tell me that, oh, you can always rely on going back to your family business. I will tell you that's not possible because I forced that door to be closed because he didn't have another person to take over that business. It was quite an emotional turmoil.

In fact, during my days when I was in Malaysia, because I will come back over the weekend and my father and I would not see eye to eye on a lot of things. And I would try to share with him about what I'm doing in e-commerce, but he didn't believe in it. But one of the really important things that I was very fortunate, I was very blessed was that he still supported.

In fact, when I sold my inheritance, my mom came to him and said that your son wants to do his own thing. Are you going to block him or are you going to support him? And in fact, my dad got my family friend, he introduced him, our family friend to come and support me. And without that support initially, I don't think I had enough funding to start off my investments in a tribe.
