Interview of Alex Butt By Business Circle · 6 April 2015

Are you bored of life in the office cubicle? Do you yearn to break free and venture out on your own? Many Malaysians working in employment often dream of owning their own business and look at buying into a franchise as a quicker and less risky way to get into the game. With a franchise, all you have to do is pay the franchise fee and the franchisor will set you up with a new business – so simple right?

But before you sign on the dotted line, be sure that you do your homework and fit the franchise business mould as not everyone is suited to be a franchisee.  READ MORE..

Several people were role models in my life: - Martin Luther King, whose speech "I have a dream.." inspired me to dream for high aspirations.  Mahatma Gandhi, the father of India, inspired me through the movie starred by Ben Kingsley.  Because I grew up without my paternal father, I learn life's lessons beside my caring mother since 4  years old.  These role models, plus the auto-biography books in the library helped shaped my thinking.  

This week, the passing of Mr Lee Kuan Yew, has a greater impact on me than I thought.  Perhaps he was a living role model, whom I have taken for granted.  Whereas the others were characters in movies and books I could read about.  With #LKY's  passing, I started watching many his previous speeches on Youtube and even bought his book (Hard Truth)  at the airport today.  I am grateful that Lee Kuan Yew had build a great nation, Singapore, a place that has been a home for me for 50 years.  Yet, a place I had taken for granted most of these 50 years, because I only converted my Malaysian citizenship to a Singaporean 12 months ago.  I feel proud that as a Singaporean, the country that takes care of the people, the society, the economics and the global brand and image of Singapore.  I contributed to it very little, mostly benefiting from the nation who generously hosted me as a Student and a Permanent Resident all these years.  I pledge to make a difference and contribute much more back to Singapore  in the years to come, for I should not take for granted what the country has done for me! 

Go Singapore!
