About Me

Dear Valued Business Partners and close friends, It is my great pleasure to share with you a professional milestone that reflects not just personal advancement, but the shared spirit of innovation and excellence rooted in our Chemical Engineering training at Singapore University NUS I was officially conferred the title of ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineer (ACPE) on 16th June 2025 at the ASEAN Meeting in Kuala Lumpur. To date, only 112 engineers across the ASEAN region hold this title. With this, I am now able to practise PE professionally in all ASEAN member states . Through the ASEAN Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA), the ACPE designation allows me to practise engineering in: Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Timor-Leste . ● Cross-Border Practice: Authorised to participate in engineering consultancy and environmental protection projects green energy throughout ASEAN. ● Brand Positioning: Dual international credentials support stronger client trust and reputation. ● Licensing & JV Opportunities: Eligibility to form joint ventures and seek project licenses requiring registered status and spur AI and Smart Robotic Agriculture ● Core Expertise Areas: Green energy, scheduled waste management, pollution control equipment ● Leadership Talent Magnet: Enhanced positioning to attract professionals and regional collaborators between Asean in ISCC raw materials production ________________________________________ Our discipline has evolved far beyond its traditional roots. Today, as a Technopreneur in Green Energy, I see the frontiers of Chemical Engineering being driven by: ● Green hydrogen, solar, nuclear, and "follow-the-sun" energy systems ● AI-driven process control and robotics ● Nano-based specialty products in paints, greases, coatings, and fuels ● Sustainable cooking oils designed to reduce cardiovascular risk ● Recycling waste oils and fats into biofuel, jet fuel, and green solvents This is a field where science meets business—and we, as Chem Eng professionals, are at the heart of it. ________________________________________ In my business ventures, I build businesses grounded in natural and strategic limited resources: ● Yellow Gold – Precious metals (Au) safe haven for investment in turbulence economy and politic ● Blue Gold – Water treatment and purification ● Black Gold – Oils and fuels ● Red Gold – Copper-based innovation ● White Gold - Palladium Platinum Rhodium for catalyst ● Radioactive Gold - Uranium Plutonium ● Grey Gold – Battery metals like lithium and lead nickel antimony These are not just commodities—they are the raw materials of the future, and we as engineers are uniquely qualified to innovate, commercialise, and lead and recycle and reuse them ________________________________________ We have entered a new era where engineering is the new entrepreneurship. Our Chemical Engineering background gives us a unique foundation to not just support industry—but to shape the next AI Robotic industrial revolution in sustainability, circular economy, and smart systems. Let us not only look back with pride, but look forward with vision. Let us lead with curiosity, courage, and collaboration. The world is changing—and Chemical Engineers are poised to change it for the better. With warmest regards and respect, Ir.
