Empowering young leaders in society and education has been the passion of my life. I have guided and inspired young minds both in social service and in their educational aspirations. I value dedicated youths who want to leave a legacy in their life-time. My own achievements in education, academic positions held and an unselfish dedication not to seek eminence in the contributions of young people. However, if lending my name for them to become visible is needed, I have gladly supported such young thinkers and doers.I have been a sociologist, social activist and social thinker all my life. I have obtained my Bachelors, Masters and doctoral degrees at the best universities on earth - University of Malaya (1971), University of Singapore and the University of Wisconsin - Madison, USA. I have taught and done research at the Institute of Southeast Asia Studies (ISEAS, Singapore), Department of Sociology, National University of Singapore, University of Brunei Darussalam and the the Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University, Japan. I have held all the ranks of director, Vice President and Professor. I was conferred the Professor Emeritus in Japan. I am best in guiding young graduate students to complete their theses research and writing in time, especially when they are time bound by their scholarship requirements.I am unique because I empower young scholars and contribute to active publications of my own research and empowering young people to follow my model approach to education, research and publication.
