If all things constant, the time spent on earth will be the most with your siblings. From your formation phase to various milestones and much more. They say the people you grow up with end up mattering more than almost anyone else in your life. I believe that, because of you. Thanks for always being there — quietly, steadily, without needing to be asked. Here's to another year. Far or near, always wishing the best for you. "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity." Proverbs 17:17

(Dear You), a #Teochew movie taught me something about my own roots I didn't fully get until I saw it on screen: the Teochew never-say-die spirit. In the movie, the approach to always help someone who's an overseas Teochew in need, “ 潮州人阿，自己人阿！” for those who knows, knows. Our elders left home with nothing, failed more times than they succeeded, and kept going anyway — not for themselves, but so the next person, the next family member, had it a little easier. No safety net. No guarantee it would work. They tried again anyway. During Youth Day, I rekindled my Youth and watched my first Teochew movie yesterday. With my Mum. Sitting next to my Mum, hearing that grit spoken out loud in her own dialect — I understood why she never gives up on people, even when there's no immediate payoff. It was never a personality trait. It was inheritance. If your parents or grandparents speak Teochew, Hokkien, Cantonese, Hainanese — bring them. The lesson isn't just in the film. It's in them. Live Well. Build Well. Give Well. Credit where it's due — this film almost didn't exist in the language it needed to be told in: 🎬 Director Lan Hongchun, for insisting on Teochew over the easier Mandarin sell 🇸🇬 IMDA, for taking a more flexible approach to dialect films 🎞️ GV & Shaw, for opening more screenings so families like mine could watch it as intended #Culture #Wellbeing #LiveWellBuildWellGiveWell #Teochew #DearYou #Singapore #Roots PS: I went to remember my Ah Ma, brought back some and much more as a Teochew.

If the morning was world-class, today afternoon just raised the bar again. 🇸🇬🎢 You know what's better than an incredible experience? A business partner Diana Ho quietly makes the impossible, possible. Today, we were granted behind-the-scenes access to Sentosa Development Corporation — a tour of attraction refreshes that most people never get to see (in the sweltering weather but so worth it!). The kind of access that only happens when trust and relationships run deep. And then, out of nowhere — A surprise Klook #Super #Slide. I won't pretend I was fully prepared for that. 😅 #Orange OR #Blue, make a guess when you go up to 17th floor... Choose one and the only way is... F... U... N... But that's the thing about genuine partnerships — the best ones don't just open doors. They throw in a moment you'll be talking about for years. To the incredible partners who made today happen: you didn't have to go this far. The fact that you did says everything about the kind of people worth building with. --- This is what #GTM in Singapore and SEA actually looks like: It's not decks and cold emails. It's showing up. Building trust. And occasionally flying down a sky super slide because someone believed the experience mattered. 🚀 --- What a wrap for the Korea delegation visit. 🇰🇷🤝🇸🇬 More connections tomorrow? Or less? Stay tuned. You already know the answer. I'm Raymond — the guy who does your #GTM, LinkedIn business development, and a whole lot more across #Singapore and #SoutheastAsia. Drop a 👋 if you want to know what doors we can open together. #Singapore #Sentosa #Klook #GTM #BusinessDevelopment #SEA #GlobalPartnerships #Gratitude #KoreaSingapore

Some weeks remind you why you do what you do. 🇸🇬✨ This was one of them. Through #NEON, I had the privilege of experiencing two world-class productions back to back — Jurassic World The Exhibition at Gardens by the Bay, and Harry Potter: Visions of Magic at Resorts World Sentosa. #Hollywood-grade animatronics nestled among our #Supertrees. The #Wizarding #World brought to life with technology that genuinely stopped me in my tracks. But the moment that hit differently? Sharing it with our incredible partners who flew in from #Korea 🇰🇷 — their energy, perspective, and genuine enthusiasm reminded me what cross-border collaboration actually feels like when it's real. This is what #Singapore does that few places on earth can replicate: → We are the launchpad for global IP in Asia → We attract world-class execution and pair it with local excellence → We turn tourism into transformation Genuine gratitude on LinkedIn is not only about pitching. It's about pausing to acknowledge the ecosystem — the teams behind the scenes, the partners who travel across borders, the city that keeps raising the bar — and saying thank you like you mean it. So here it is: Thank you #NEON. Thank you to our Korean counterparts. Thank you, Singapore, for being the canvas the world keeps choosing. Here's to building more of this. 🚀 #Singapore #GlobalCollaboration #NEONGlobal #JurassicWorld #HarryPotter #Gratitude #Innovation

Relocating to a new country is never easy – but meaningful connections make all the difference. ☕️ Glad to have finally caught up with Stanley Koo, a sharp digital strategist in Hong Kong. We talked about what really builds trust in any market: adding value consistently and simply being present. That’s exactly what impressed me about Stanley – his genuine desire to meet like-minded professionals in HK. Learned so much over coffee near IFC, and the harbour view wasn't bad either. 🌊 If you've made a big move before, what helped you feel grounded in a new place? #HongKong #Relocation #DigitalStrategy #Trust #Networking

Why Malaysia is Southeast Asia’s Next Big Market (And Why You Should Pay Attention Now) 🇲🇾 By 2026, Southeast Asian economies are set to grow 4–5.2% — fueled by digitalization, green investment, and a manufacturing rebound. Singapore is the obvious stable hub, but Malaysia offers the perfect blend of stability, scale, and strategic access. 👇 Here’s why smart money is looking beyond the Lion City. --- 1. Size + Access = Launchpad to 600M+ consumers Malaysia has a decent, growing population (34M+) and a multilingual, tech-savvy workforce. But the real win? It’s your base camp for Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam — three of the region’s fastest-growing markets. One foothold, five countries. 2. Three economic hotspots, one country · Johor Bahru – Singapore Special Economic Zone (JSSEZ) → Cross-border talent, investment, and manufacturing synergy. Think Shenzhen-HK 2.0. · Kuala Lumpur → The digital finance & services powerhouse. Startup momentum + mature infrastructure. · Penang → The “Silicon Valley of the East” — semiconductor and electronics manufacturing rebounding hard. · Sarawak → Green energy & hydrogen hub. Massive renewable potential. 3. Beyond the usual suspects While everyone chases Vietnam’s factory boom, Malaysia offers proven stability (English-friendly common law system, reliable logistics) without Singapore’s cost base. It’s the low-drama, high-upside choice. --- The bottom line: Malaysia isn’t just “Truly Asia” — it’s truly ready. For investors, exporters, and digital players looking at 2026, JSSEZ, KL, Penang, and Sarawak are the coordinates to save. 📌 Share this with someone building in Southeast Asia. You’ll thank yourself in 18 months. DM me if you are looking to expand your business into Asia, shall deep dive and share my experience in building relationships and communities in Asia. Why trust truly matters! #MalaysiaBusiness #SoutheastAsia #EmergingMarkets #JSSEZ #ASEAN

Just had an incredible #CNY catch-up with my sales coach mentor Adrian Choo G.Y. (朱桄佑)—someone I’ve known since my startup days diving into AI and data analytics. Here’s a little secret: LinkedIn has always been my first and favorite tech company. Today was my first time in their office, and it felt full circle! As a sportsman at heart, having played football, basketball since my young days I’ve always strived to be top of the sales leader board — whether in banking, recruitment, tech sales, or fundraising. Through it all, LinkedIn LinkedIn for Sales #Navigator has been my go-to tool for getting it right. For those wondering about the before and after for your sales team: look no further. #LinkedIn helps your team become truly adequate at understanding relationships, client needs, and nailing the right time to catch a buy signal. Ask Adrian Choo G.Y. (朱桄佑)—he will show you how! 🚀

2026马年，万事如意！心想事成！ As we enter the Year of the Horse, may your 2026 be filled with true blessings, in Chinese we call it "Fu (福)" – the deep blessedness of wholeness and peace, just as the ancient character pictures humanity walking with God in the garden. May this new year 2026 bring you strength, purpose, and prosperity in every good way. --- "The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the Lord." Proverbs 21:31 --- In Singapore we say, "Heng Ong Huat!" Wishing you and your loved ones abundant blessings and happiness! 🐴✨🧧🙏

(#SEA) South East Asia's wealth is growing rapidly, but where and how is it being managed? While attention often goes to #Singapore or #Indonesia, #Vietnam stands out as ASEAN's next major opportunity. A critical gap exists: the expanding middle class is projected to hold $400 billion in investable assets by 2028, yet professional, digital wealth management tools are scarce. This creates a foundational moment to build #trusted platforms for a new #generation. The strategic imperative is clear. Beyond a growing base of ultra-high-net-worth individuals, the real scale lies with the mass-affluent segment. Supportive #regulations, like the forthcoming (#IFC) International Financial Centre and #FinTech sandbox, are paving the way. Combined with a digital-first population where over 70% of adults use digital payments, Vietnam is ripe for tech-driven solutions that move from simple investing to holistic wealth management. Vietnam represents a $1 trillion wealth management opportunity by 2027. Building regulated, tech-powered tools now is key to securing a first-mover advantage in this underserved market on the cusp of explosive growth.

Reflecting on a journey that began in 2017—a newcomer stepping into the tech world with more heart than experience. I’ve never claimed to be the brightest, but I’ve always believed in the power of sincerity and effort. Building from the ground up taught me that nothing worth having comes easy, and for every connection made and milestone reached, I am deeply grateful. Lately, in conversations with enterprises and leaders, a common theme emerges: it’s not just about adopting AI, but understanding its real-world impact—how it streamlines workflows, improves operations, and affects the bottom line. A mentor once shared a thought that stayed with me: "AI + Humanity" is what sustains growth for the long haul! Look forward to his book! This brings me to Langcode, a remarkable #Korean AI company recognized by Seoul National University (#SNU), which I had the pleasure of discovering at #Viva_Tech last year. Since #2020, they’ve collaborated with sectors from #telecom, #banking to #retail and #B2B, driving meaningful #AI adoption. Recently, I supported LangCode’s entry into Singapore—beginning at Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH), #SWITCH at Marina Bay Sands exhibition—where we connected with leaders across government, tech, and various industries. One key insight stood out: localisation is everything before going to market. In enterprise, sales matter, but #TRUST and long-term #VALUE matter more. The real question isn’t just about advanced technology, but its #practical_use and clear #ROI. Thrilled to have facilitated deep-dives with the public sector, cloud providers, System Integrators, enterprises and more. This is only the beginning of demonstrating value—both to end-users and the partners who support them. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey so far. Here’s to building, learning, and growing—together. Back to meeting more people, increasing Artificial Intelligence (#AI) adoption one real person at a time. #Gratitude #AIAdoption #TechJourney #LangCode #SingaporeTech #EnterpriseAI #BusinessGrowth #Localisation #AIForBusiness #RelationshipBuilding
