About Me

My first degree in engineering exposed me to writing technical documents in two languages English and Bahasa Malaysia. I then wrote 6 books in Bahasa Malaysia in the personal finance niche with PTS Publishing House. I also translate whole books from English to Malay via local publisher in my country for example Jay Conrad Levinson 's "Guerilla Marketing for Writers". All the above experience have trained me to be a multi-skilled translator. I also have worked as a freelance translator for more than 10 years with BLEND (a renowned international company) and still with them.
