Magazine Editing
In the early 1990s, I edited Fire Safety, the first magazine in Malaysia to instill fire safety awareness among factory operators and high-rise building owners.

Then, I  edited a Magazine called Virtual Malaysia, a travel magazine covering Malaysian destinations, leading a team of writers, photographers, and graphic designers.

Theatre
In the mid-1990s, I began to be active in theatre. I formed a theatre group called Sehala Studio, open to amateurs who wish to showcase their acting, writing, directing, and production skills.

I wrote the scripts for four plays and directed and produced them.

Online Writing
Then, in the mid-2000s, I ventured into online writing and wrote about 250 articles on subjects ranging from digital video o nutrition and nature cures.


Then, I experimented with e-book publishing to learn the ropes of e-book creation and publishing.

I’ve written three writing-related books and published them in the Kindle marketplace.
