In 2009, he bucked up and went on stage to perform as a comedian on his own. He quickly performed all over the UK and worked around the comedic circuit in London.

As 2012 swinged by, Justin decided to move over to the always sunny/raining Kuala Lumpur. He went on to build a name for himself, combining his unique alternative perspective comedy and the unnoticed gems of Malaysian culture, he soon became a regular at shows in Kuala Lumpur. Also branching out towards Penang, Singapore and even Cambodia!

There's been very little hype surrounding the KL City Grand Prix happening this weekend. Those living and working in KL have had to put up with road barriers that have forced pedestrians to walk on main roads rather than the usual walkways. And they now have to deal with road closures, an announcement made just weeks before for an event that was supposedly planned in advance. With such poor planning, does Malaysia stand to gain from an event like the KL City Grand Prix? Is it good for tourism?

Tonight, we’ve have a woman who represented Malaysia in Miss World for both 2007 and 2011; with an appearance to go toe-to-toe with her intellect and her strong drive for human rights, it’s the one and only, Deborah Henry!

Deborah’s exotic looks are thanked to the mixture of her Malaysian Indian and Irish descent. Though born in Dublin, Ireland, she was without a doubt was raised in Kuala Lumpur. It all started off with one faithful walk down Jalan Telawi with a few friends when she was spotted by a modelling agent when she was 14.

She officially started modelling when she turned 15 and left for London at the age of 18 in search of magazine covers and adverts to grace. Fortunately the move gave her the opportunities to collaborate with Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel and Ungaro. As glamourous it was, she left due to how she felt she was not respected as a model.

She joined a pageant on a friend’s suggestion. She won Miss Malaysia World 2007 and represented Malaysia in the Miss World 2007 at Sao Paulo, Brazil. Went on to reach the final 16 contestants for Miss World. The highest placement for a Malaysian since Lina Teoh scoring runner-up in 1998. Competed again in 2011 but didn’t make it as far as she did before.

In 2009, Deborah co-founded Fugee School. A charity organisation that provides fundamental education to refugee youths after realizing a dire need for educating refugee children in 2009. This year would mark it’s 6th year of operations and changing lives.

For the record, Deborah scored 13!
