LEADERS WHO HAVE
STARTED RIGHT
Entrepreneur, Philanthropist,
Founder & CEO of Mindvalley
Vishen Lakiani
*Mindvalley was voted as one of the world’s Top 10 coolest offices in 2012.
“We want to connect smart young people together
to create new ideas that will turn KL into one of the
world’s top start-up hubs in 10 years - similar to the
model I used in Taylor’s College in 1994.”
Head of Groupon Asia Pacific,
Groupon APAC
Joel Neoh
“Taylor’s College helped me realise the importance of embracing
curiosity at an early age. Students were encouraged to explore,
to discover, to questions and to lead projects. The simple, childlike
curiosity to always want to know more, learn more, do more, see
more, and ultimately achieve more - was the foundation to the
educational experience for students in Taylor’s College. My one
year in Taylor’s College opened up my eyes to the importance of
being curious, which is the foundation of all entrepreneurship.”
05
Co-founder of Fugee School &
Miss Universe Malaysia 2011
Deborah Priya Henry
“When I think back to my time at Taylor’s College, I am reminded
of the fun and effective lecturers, the interesting courses and
skills I gained - the ability to articulate oneself, see things from
different perspectives and to have an opinion. Today I find,
regardless of what I do and whom I met it’s these skills that
have enabled me to find success in all areas of my life.”
Founder & CEO of EPIC Collaborative
John-Son Oei
“Taylor’s College helped me understand that learning was beyond
books and academic success. I learned that a huge part of effective
communication is to understand your audience and at Taylor’s
College I have developed a sense of empathy and adaptability
towards other cultures which enhanced my communication and
presentation skills. Taylor’s College had also given me the chance
to realise my leadership potential.”

LEADERS WHO HAVE
STARTED RIGHT
Teach For Malaysia 2013 Fellow,
Ministry of Education
Wan Farihah Ahmad Fahmy
“In a nutshell, my Taylor’s College experience can be
summed up in three words: education, excellence, and
experience. Serving as a teacher in a high-need rural
school, I strive every day to not only make my History
classes engaging and interesting for my students but most
importantly, I try to instill in them all the values that Taylor’s
College taught me: hard work, self-belief, determination,
dedication, and the importance of education as a tool for
one’s life enrichment.”
Founder & Group Managing Director of Integricity Group
Alex Lam
“The one year I spent in Taylor’s College is still recounted with
fondness. Looking back in time, the analytical thought process
and experience I gained was extremely valuable to my ability to
efficiently run and own an array of companies today that provides
creative, technology, event and visual services to many of the top
brands in Malaysia.”
07
Founder & Director of Delectable by Su
& Delectable Treats
Huen Su Yin
“The short duration in Taylor’s College got me into University
much quicker. It gave me a head start and through the
flexibility of my classes, it had definitely encouraged
the development of my social skills and increased my
aspirations to discover more in the world. When I enrolled,
I didn’t exactly know what I wanted to study at my tertiary
level of education but when I was done with Taylor’s Pre-U,
I knew I wanted to do more, go further and discover
new adventures.”
Postdoctoral Research Associate,
Northeastern University, USA
Yan Yan Yeap
“It was under the encouraging environment
at Taylor’s College that I developed a nonyielding commitment for excellence, which I
believe served as a foundation for all my life
achievements thereafter. Life has turned out to
be a remarkable journey for me, and I have no
doubt it all started at Taylor’s College.”
