realised I had hit the jackpot! I now believe clients today want
people who're very transparent about the way they work, what they can or cannot do, and people who are

For his latest venture, Hong has teamed with former Monash classmate Ng Jit Hua
(BCom)
to start a franchised Blush! boutique in Bangsar Shopping Centre. He
was also part of the founding council of the Technoprenuers' Association of Malaysia
(TeAM).
Outside of work, Hong spends most of his time with his family - a loving wife and a very active 16-month old boy. "It's quite endearing watching my son
grow; the new things he's learning everyday, the beginning of conversations and funniest of all, the way he's imitating our every action. That cracks me up
every time."
Hong says of his diverse experiences, "The most important thing I've realised
is that learning doesn't stop when you obtain a degree. Whether
through experience in the field or through the experiences of others, the key is mastering the art of learning. That's what will determine the speed of your success in the
future". Drawing on his love of movies, Hong says, "It's the Erin Brokovich
effect - you can be better than others who're professionally trained".
When asked what his future plans are, a grin breaks across his face, "We'll see."
