TSM HONG KONG
- What motivates you to join TSM?
I would love to have this opportunity of networking and meeting with like-minded individuals. I would also like to learn from my peers, and the different motivations that they have related to school and starting a business. I feel that I have many skills and past experiences to share with my peers, and I hope to be able to given the platform to do so.
- Why pick Hong Kong?
I love Hong Kong and all it has to offer. From the scenery to the attractions, I feel like I would really learn a lot, as well as have a good time. I believe in immersive learning, and I think that having the chance to speak with the different startups, and hopefully with the Hong Kong nationals allows me to be a more culturally diversified learner. I feel that we, as Singaporeans, have much to observe and learn from Hong Kong, as it is so similar yet so different. I hope to be able to highlight these differences and bring those back to Singapore.
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
Healthcare, Analytics, Businesses that utilise IoT.
- What plan do you have in starting a business?
I feel that in starting a business you would need to have an immense amount of drive, passion, capital, and technical knowledge. While I'm still exploring on the possible outcomes that I will take in life, I am a very open-minded individual to explore the possibility of starting my own business. I'm also grateful of the opportunities SMU has provided to allow me to learn more as well.
Past Experiences (optional)
What keeps you ticking?
- The clock. Just kidding! Experience and taking risk! Being able to take risk and foresee failure is part of building up a better experience. My supervisor from SGAG always said: "You have never learnt if you have never fail hard before."
