KUCHING – Calling for youth who are keen to learn more about entrepreneurship and leadership to be part of ‘The Millennial: Talk X’ event this 20 October 2018.
Organised by Swinburne Leo Club in collaboration with Swinburne Sarawak Student Council, the talk will be held from 2.30 to 4.30pm at the Lecture Theatre, Swinburne Sarawak campus.
The talk not only aims to inspire and motivate young people in the area of entrepreneurship but also promote leadership and opportunity among members of the Leo Club and all participants. In addition, it also aims to raise funds for the Malaysian Leprosy Relief Association (MaLRA).
Andy Hon of EzFood Delivery.
The talk will feature speakers namely Kelvin Chong Foh Fatt of restaurant and food truck business NOMS On Street; Stella Hon Kar Wen of blockchain and cryptocurrency company Oriver Farm; Andy Hon of food delivery mobile application EzFood Delivery; and Raven Kwok of urban lifestyle café Earthlings.
Chong, one of the co-founders of NOMS On Street, is a Swinburne graduate and holds a degree in civil engineering. Venturing into the food business with almost zero knowledge, he started the business by operating food trucks before establishing one of the preferred restaurants in Kuching.
Chong is a firm believer of self-awareness. Over the years, he has learned to master different skills and knowledge, as well as understand his inner values that have brought him to his present position. His talk will focus on values such as integrity, perseverance and reciprocity.
Stella Hon Kar Wen of Oriver Farm.
Kar Wen, who is also the co-founder of Deren Foundation and investment director of FiiiLab, left for China after struggling in her part time study in Singapore at the tender age of 19. It was in China that she came across blockchain and cryptocurrency. In her talk, Kar Wen will touch on her journey of self-discovery and the transition from being a clueless youngster to a director.
Believing that a thousand miles of journey begins with a single step is what drove Hon to quit his 9 to 5 job at an audit firm to kick start a food delivery business. Hon will be sharing with the audience his roller coaster journey in starting up a business completely unrelated to his previous career.
Raven Kwok of Earthlings café.
Meanwhile, Kwok’s objective in setting up Earthlings is to encourage people to socialise and take some time off from digital devices. A psychology graduate, Kwok’s main topic will focus on finding balance in life, and the risks and consequences involved in making the next move.
The event is sponsored by Oriver Farm, MMS, Tecktonic & Sons Holdings Sdn Bhd, Erv’s Milk Tea, NRC, Tommy Boy Café, Hou Lee Contractor, TAGS Retro Bistro, W-MAX Resources Sdn Bhd, GHC Bikes, CSS and Hong Kong Noodle House.
