=======================================================
I am an ex-Malaysian, lived & worked in Canada for 22 yrs, but have an interest and personal reasons to return to Malaysia. I have a desire to impart/share my expertise, knowledge and experience in various core IT technologies & fields, in some form or another. I have British prof qualifications, and am also a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in Canada.

Also in 1999 I was in Malaysia for about 5 mths, looking into startup of an MSC company, but eventually was too 'frustrated' to continue its pursuit, so returned to Canada.
