When it comes to the world of investing, his pen name “Tradeview” is one Malaysian investors may be familiar with as he’s been writing in the field of economics, business and investing since 2013. In 2021, he published a book “Once Upon a Time in Bursa” which was awarded “Best in Business Readings” by MPH.

Our hour long discussion, encompasses and covers a multitude of things from; How did he manage to break into finance as a lawyer, insights for students on saving and investment and advice for youths as we venture into a world with concerning economic conditions.
