Chuang Drives A 2003 Toyota and Anabelle Can't Clear Her Wardrobe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
#money Anabelle came back from six weeks in France and posted a carousel about what wealth actually looks like. It hit 2 million views — and the comments split down the middle. So the two of us sat down to argue it out properly. Chuang grew up around Penang old money: families in mansions that look small from the street, patriarchs who make their son-in-law sell the sports car because being seen is dangerous. Five years ago he started selling things off. He drives a 2003 Toyota with 340,000km on
Inside RM60 Million to RM13 Billion: How Multibaggers Are Built | John Huo, Malaysian Multibaggers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most people who follow Malaysian equities know John Huo as the author of Malaysian Multibaggers — the book that breaks down why some stocks turn a company worth RM60 million into one worth RM13 billion, while others sit flat for a decade. But the story that opens this episode isn't from his research. It's personal: a CEO he interviewed as a young financial journalist back in 2011, when the company barely registered. He wrote it off.

From securing the iconic Mazda franchise on the first day of Chinese New Year to experiencing a literal misalig
Why Former CEO of Berjaya Food Wouldn't Start a Business Today | Dato' Francis Lee (Part 1) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most people know Dato' Francis Lee as the man who helped build Berjaya Food into a massive retail behemoth, steering iconic brands like Starbucks and Kenny Rogers Roasters across Malaysia. But his journey didn't start in the boardroom of a food empire—it started with writing audit reports. Plucked from his role as an internal auditor during the 1997 Asian financial crisis, Dato' Francis learned the gritty realities of retail survival the hard way. From choosing a literal hole-in-the-ground at Mi
Why Minority Youths Are Rejecting Race-Based Politics | Shalini & Liang Hong, Iman Research (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Navigating Malaysia's socio-political landscape as a minority youth is often reduced to stereotypes, sensationalized headlines, and communal rhetoric. Yet, when you look past mainstream political theater and speak directly to young Malaysians on the ground, a very different reality emerges—one defined by deep political apathy toward traditional race-based parties, everyday economic pragmatism, and an unshakeable sense of belonging to the country. In this episode of Do More, Sharvin sit down with
