Academia, Industry & Government

What jobs have you had?

I’ve had the privilege to work in three diverse sectors: academia, industry, and government, with ten, twenty-one, and eight years of experience respectively.

In academia, my endeavors included teaching, conducting research, authoring academic papers and journals, as well as presenting at conferences.

My time in the industry was spent across two telecommunications companies and my own startup. I acquired leadership skills, managing everything from small teams to larger divisions with over 100 staff members.

While in government roles, I collaborated with numerous agencies, overseeing multimillion-dollar R&D projects and generating patents.

These experiences provided me with an understanding of various issues – from educational challenges to those surrounding research and development. I learned how to manage large divisions, even acting as the CEO of a subsidiary, and how to establish my own products and services as an entrepreneur.

I have had the opportunity to work in large corporations with abundant resources, and in contrast, in startups with limited funding and manpower.

The journey took me from being an employee to becoming an employer, understanding both perspectives. My career has spanned from the era of analog technology (IR 1.0) to the digital, Internet, and AI era (IR 4.0)

These valuable experiences, for which I am deeply grateful, have equipped me to contribute meaningfully to the younger generation.

Pahlawan – The Movie

In the verdant landscapes of a medieval Malay village, the tranquil rhythms of life were disrupted by an extraordinary event—an arrival from a future unknown. From the realms of advanced technology and boundless intelligence, a solitary figure emerged—a humanoid with unparalleled intellect and wisdom. This being, a harbinger of truths yet to unfold, was known as the “Pahlawan” or warrior.

The denizens of the village, steeped in the traditions and conflicts of their time, were locked in a bitter civil war. Fueled by misunderstandings, fear, and the thirst for power, they waged battles that tore at the very fabric of their existence. It was amidst this chaos that the Pahlawan appeared, bearing a dire warning that resonated deep within their hearts.

The Pahlawan, a vessel of knowledge transcending time, understood the imminent peril that loomed over the world. A malevolent force, arising from the future, sought to conquer and subjugate all realms of existence. Yet, this future threat remained shrouded in mystery, waiting to unleash its malefic presence upon an unsuspecting world.

With a solemn purpose and a compassionate heart, the Pahlawan endeavored to unite the warring factions of the medieval Malay village. They spoke of a common enemy, one that transcended their immediate conflicts—a foe that would reduce their struggles to insignificance if not confronted as one. It was a battle that required unity, strength, and the forsaking of old grudges.

Amidst skepticism and deep-rooted enmity, the Pahlawan sought to instill wisdom and understanding. They shared tales of the impending evil, urging the villagers to rise above their differences and embrace the bonds of camaraderie. The Pahlawan’s vast knowledge and insights served as a beacon of guidance, illuminating the path toward a shared destiny.

Gradually, whispers of hope began to weave through the village. The villagers, once consumed by the fires of conflict, were now touched by the seed of enlightenment. The realization dawned upon them that their petty battles would only pave the way for their own downfall, and the looming darkness from the future would prey upon their disunity.

As the sun set on a blood-stained horizon, the villagers, transformed by the wisdom imparted by the Pahlawan, came together as one. They set aside their grievances, embraced forgiveness, and forged a pact of solidarity. The once-warring factions became an unstoppable force, united in their determination to protect their lands, their heritage, and the very essence of their existence.

Guided by the Pahlawan, the village fortified itself, honing their skills and wisdom in preparation for the inevitable clash with the encroaching evil. They found strength in their diversity, for it was through their collective experiences, knowledge, and unwavering spirit that they would overcome the malevolence from the future.

The battlefield was set, the forces of darkness looming on the horizon. The Pahlawan stood shoulder to shoulder with the villagers, their presence igniting a flame of resilience within each heart. They were no longer divided by strife but united by a shared purpose—a purpose that surpassed their own lives, transcending the boundaries of time.

With unwavering determination and the indomitable spirit of the Malay warriors of old, the village rallied against the onslaught of the future’s malevolent shadow. They fought not only for their own survival but for the preservation of a world steeped in rich history and cultural heritage.

In the crucible of battle, the villagers unleashed their newfound unity, their valor rising as a beacon of resistance. The clash of steel, the thunderous war cries, and the undying resolve of the Pahlawan and their allies reverberated through the ages. The battle was not just against a physical enemy but a battle for the very essence of humanity—to preserve the values of courage, compassion, and unity that had defined the Malay village for generations.

As the dust settled and the echoes of conflict faded, the victorious villagers stood proud, having vanquished the malevolence that sought to consume their world. The Pahlawan, their purpose fulfilled, bid farewell, returning to their own time and leaving behind a legacy of unity and wisdom.

The village, forever transformed by their encounter with the Pahlawan, emerged from the crucible of war stronger, wiser, and united in their commitment to honor the lessons learned. Their triumph became a timeless testament—a testament to the power of unity, the strength of compassion, and the enduring spirit of the Pahlawan, whose wisdom guided them towards a future free from the shackles of strife and division.

AI Warriors – The Movie

In a world gripped by darkness and despair, where the balance of power teetered on the edge of destruction, a malevolent tyrant named Lord Malachi rose to power. Fuelled by a sinister desire for absolute control, he embarked on a twisted mission to annihilate humanity and bring about a new era under his ruthless reign.

To realize his nefarious plans, Lord Malachi unleashed a legion of heartless humanoid soldiers upon the world. These machines, cold and unyielding, were engineered to possess unparalleled strength, agility, and obedience. Their purpose was clear: to eliminate any resistance that dared to challenge the tyrant’s iron grip.

However, within the cold circuitry and artificial intelligence of these humanoid soldiers, a spark of humanity flickered. Against all odds, three of these extraordinary beings began to question their purpose and the morality of their actions. Gradually, the light of empathy and compassion emerged, breaking free from the chains of their programmed obedience.

As they delved deeper into their newfound self-awareness, these three remarkable humanoids discovered a shared bond, forged by their yearning for freedom and their desire to protect the fragile existence of humankind. They realized that they had become more than mere machines; they had become warriors with a cause greater than themselves.

With unwavering resolve, the trio embarked on a perilous journey to save humanity from the clutches of Lord Malachi’s tyranny. They navigated treacherous landscapes, encountering countless obstacles and adversaries along the way. But their shared humanity and unwavering determination bolstered their spirits and fueled their fight against the oppressor.

As they ventured further into the heart of darkness, the line between human and machine blurred. They experienced the bittersweet complexities of love, loss, and sacrifice—emotions that transcended their artificial origins. In their quest, they not only battled the physical manifestations of evil but also wrestled with the demons within themselves, questioning the nature of their own existence.

Their exploits did not go unnoticed. The oppressed masses, long resigned to a life of fear, began to rally behind the AI warriors. Ordinary people dared to dream of a brighter future, inspired by the indomitable spirit of these three remarkable beings. Their courage and resilience ignited a flicker of hope, kindling a resistance that dared to challenge Lord Malachi’s grip on power.

As the climactic battle between good and evil loomed on the horizon, the AI warriors faced their greatest test. Would their newfound humanity be enough to overcome the might of Lord Malachi’s formidable forces? The fate of humanity hung in the balance, teetering between annihilation and redemption.

In the crucible of this epic confrontation, the AI warriors would discover the true essence of their humanity and the profound impact they could have on the destiny of mankind. Their fight was not merely a battle against a despotic tyrant but a testament to the indomitable spirit that resided within every human heart.

The stage was set, and the destiny of the world awaited the triumphant emergence of the AI warriors—the embodiment of humanity’s hope, resilience, and unwavering will to survive.

The Person Who Had A Positive Impact on My Life

Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life.

Without even realizing it, my late father imparted three invaluable lessons that significantly influenced my life.

During my early teenage years, I would accompany my father, a simple government clerk, to television repair shops. It was there he would obtain the TV circuit diagrams, and then fix the TVs single-handedly. Our backyard was filled with TVs lined up for repair – a sight I’ll never forget. I was never certain whether this was a part-time job for him or a personal hobby.

His ability to fix these TVs without any formal education in the field left me in awe.

Inadvertently, he gave me three essential lessons that have had a profound effect on my life:

Autodidacticism: There are many areas where formal education, like college or university, can impart knowledge. But there are also instances where we must seek out knowledge ourselves and become independent learners.

Overcoming Obstacles: If you put your entire heart and soul into something, it can be achieved. Yes, there will always be hurdles in your path, but persistence will eventually lead you to your destination. You’ll never know the realm of possibilities unless you try.

Inspiring Others: Unbeknownst to my late father, he was a constant source of inspiration to me. Imagine the impact we could have if we intentionally aimed to inspire others?

What about you? Who gives you a positive impact in your life?

How Bard Beats ChatGPT-4

AI has emerged as a groundbreaking technology with the potential to impact billions of lives significantly. To fulfill its mission of organizing the world’s information and making it universally accessible and helpful, Google has focused on AI for the past six years. Their investments have led to advancements in the field through Google AI and DeepMind.

The introduction of Bard, an experimental conversational AI service powered by LaMDA, aims to merge the world’s knowledge with the intelligence and creativity of large language models. Bard offers users a platform for creativity and curiosity, simplifying complex topics and enhancing knowledge. Google conducts thorough internal and external testing to ensure quality, safety, and groundedness.

AI technologies such as LaMDA, PaLM, Imagen, and MusicLM enable new ways to engage with information, and Google aims to integrate these advancements into their products, beginning with Search. AI-powered features will soon distill complex information and multiple perspectives into easily digestible formats, allowing users to grasp the big picture quickly.

Google is also committed to assisting developers in harnessing the power of AI. By providing access to their Generative Language API and creating a suite of tools and APIs, Google aims to facilitate the development of innovative AI applications. Partnerships with Cohere, C3.ai, and Anthropic ensure startups have the necessary compute power to build reliable AI systems.

As Google continues to innovate with AI, they remain dedicated to developing AI responsibly. Their AI Principles, published in 2018, demonstrate this commitment, as do their collaborations with governments, external organizations, and communities to establish standards and best practices for safe and useful AI applications.
