An Entrepreneur – The Last Career

What is your career plan?

In 1984, I began my career as a lecturer at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, which was also my alma mater. However, upon completing my PhD, I made the decision to change paths and transitioned to the field of telecommunications. In 1994, I joined Celcom, a prominent telecommunication company.

At Celcom, I initially served as the Manager of Research and Development, and over the course of the next 13 years, I progressed to become a Vice President, overseeing various divisions within the company.

Following my tenure at Celcom, I embarked on a new phase of my career as the Wireless Communications Cluster Director at Mimos. In this role, I was responsible for conducting research and development in wireless technology, focusing on areas such as IPv6, WiMAX, and ultimately, the Internet of Things (IoT).

In 2015, I made the decision to join another telecommunications company with the objective of assisting them in establishing a new subsidiary known as Redtone IoT.

Subsequently, I ventured into full-time entrepreneurship, establishing my own startup named Favoriot. This marked the final phase of my professional journey, as I had reached the age of 60. My aim now is to retire after successfully building a company that I can take pride in.

Scientist of a Robotics Company

What’s a job you would like to do for just one day?

A scientist – that’s what I had in mind when I was a kid. That’s my ambition – to become a scientist that can design robots.

Probably I have been watching too many sci-fi movies during my childhood days. Starting from Jetsons to Land of the Giant to Star Trek.

Although I have not become a Scientist, I became an Engineer, a Lecturer, a Professor and a CEO.

Although I don’t design or develop robots, at least now I have a chance to use AI in my daily lives.

But maybe if there’s a wish that can come true – probably I would like to become a Scientist in an advanced Robotics company.

Giving myself a day to contribute my knowledge for the betterment of mankind in the future.

Apple – My Favourite Brand

What are your favorite brands and why?

I confessed – my first taste of Apple computer when I bought a clone version of Apple II called “Pineapple”.

At that time, companies can create clone versions until Apple no longer allow other hardware to run on their Apple or Mac OS. This is to protect its quality. Unlike clone PCs faced many incompatibility with software and hardware drivers.

My real purchase of an Apple product is Macintosh Classic. Although it’s heavy like a small fridge but I am proudly carry along the Mac to my office at the fourth floor in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. Of course, need to buy the bag to carry along the unit with its keyboard.

Later I bought a PC (80286) Windows but found a hassle to always reformat my hard disk because it can easily get virus.

Finally I bought my first Macbook and from then on, I never turn back.

The list of Apple products are:

  • Macintosh Classic
  • Macbook
  • Macbook Air
  • Macbook Pro
  • iPhone 3G
  • iPhone 3GS
  • iPhone 4
  • iPhone 4S
  • iPhone 5
  • iPhone 5S
  • iPhone 7 Plus
  • iPhone XS Max
  • iPhone 14 Max Pro Max
  • Apple Mini
  • Time Capsule
  • Apple Keyboard
  • Magic Mouse
  • Apple TV
  • iPad
  • iPad Mini
  • iPad 4
  • Apple Pencil

I love Apple’s products because of its quality. Rarely get virus (almost none). Easy to use. And of course – it’s Apple!

Navigating the Entrepreneurial Journey with Limited Funds

You may be in a difficult situation as an aspiring entrepreneur with all the skills but limited funds. I’ve been there before and want to share some advice based on my experiences. The journey may be challenging, but with perseverance and self-belief, you can find a way to achieve your dreams.

Joining a Startup

One of the options I considered when I faced a similar predicament was joining a startup – either as a co-founder or an employee. Leveraging your entrepreneurial skill set, you can become a valuable asset to any company, and you should be confident in your ability to negotiate a fair compensation package for yourself.

If possible, try to find a job in the industry where you’re aspiring to launch a startup in the future. The exposure, learning, and experience you’ll gain will greatly benefit your future endeavors. Along the way, you’ll also have the opportunity to make some money, which can help you bootstrap your startup later. Plus, you’ll meet potential investors and build a network that can be invaluable when it’s time to raise funds for your venture.

Alternative Funding Options

If you’re determined to dive straight into entrepreneurship, consider exploring alternative funding options. You can raise funds from friends and family, find a co-founder who’s willing to invest in your idea (although they may want a significant stake in the company), or approach venture capitalist firms for funding. Each of these options has its own challenges, so be prepared to navigate them as you pursue your entrepreneurial dreams.

Conclusion

No matter which path you choose, I wish you the best of luck on your entrepreneurial journey. Remember, it’s all about perseverance and believing in yourself. You’ve got this, and with the right mindset and determination, you’ll find a way to overcome the financial hurdles and make your vision a reality.

Automate Your Digital Lifestyle

Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?

Since 2008, I’ve had the same phrase written on my Twitter handle, “The Ultimate Goal of IoT is to Automate Your Digital Lifestyle.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has always been a fascinating topic for me. My passion for it led me to create IoT World, a blog dedicated to exploring and discussing this ever-evolving technology.

Imagine a world where IoT seamlessly integrates with your life, enhancing your senses and allowing you to interact with things you otherwise couldn’t do remotely. This is the future I envision, and with each passing day, we’re getting closer to that reality.

Take smartphones, for instance. These IoT devices have come a long way in just a few years. Applications that were once thought impossible are now commonplace, and we can accomplish tasks in a fraction of the time it used to take.

Now, let’s consider the powerful combination of IoT, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Generative AI. This trio has the potential to revolutionize the way we live and work. From generating realistic text and images to performing complex tasks with ease, AI-driven IoT devices can become our personal assistants, making us more productive than ever.

I dream of a day when our everyday routines are programmed and automated, freeing us to focus on new experiences and challenges. Imagine waking up to a perfectly brewed cup of coffee, your home already at the ideal temperature, and your favorite playlist queued up, all without lifting a finger. This level of automation would allow us to spend more time on the things that truly matter.

So, what do you think? Are you as excited about the future of IoT as I am? I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas on how IoT can improve our lives. Let’s chat in the comments below, and remember; we’re all here to learn from each other and make the most of this incredible technology.
