Why TSM Hong Kong
What motivates you to join the TSM?
Being able to visit companies overseas is an opportunity that TSM provides, something that normal classes in SMU doesn't have. Also, learning about the companies through the internet, slides or notes cannot be compared to a first-hand experience.
Why Hong Kong?
One of the reasons why Hong Kong is considered one of the four Asian Tigers like Singapore is because of its innovation and technology sector. With the rise in US and China economies, Hong Kong has to continue innovating to remain a key player in the innovation and technology sector.
Starting a business
What type of businesses interest you?

What plans do you have in starting a business?
Land in Singapore is scarce and many amenities such as childcare and elderly care centres are not optimally. I hope to develop an application for urban planners to opitmise the land use in Singapore.
