In today’s fast-paced world, achieving a balanced life is no easy feat. Many people ask how I manage to split my time between a demanding full-time role at Remedi, running a rugby academy, and spending quality time with my family. The answer lies in flexible working arrangements, support from those around me, and most importantly, a strong sense of purpose that keeps me grounded.
A Flexible Work Environment

Working with Remedi has allowed me to shape my career in healthcare technology while still leaving room to pursue my other passions. Flexibility is one of the greatest advantages here. I’m able to manage logistics at home despite my tight schedule, and having a supportive network helps ease some of the load. But flexibility alone isn’t enough; sacrifices still need to be made.
I can’t fit everything into one day, and something has to give. Unfortunately, that often means time with friends becomes less frequent. Yet, meaningful friendships have emerged in both my work at Remedi and my rugby community, creating circles of people who understand the time constraints and value the time we do have together.

What drives me to keep moving forward, even when the hours get long, is the sense of purpose I feel in the work I do. At Remedi, I get the rare opportunity to shape the future of healthcare in Malaysia. It’s a field with the potential to touch countless lives, and being part of something this impactful gives meaning to the challenges I face. My role is more than just a job—it’s a chance to contribute to something much bigger than myself. That sense of purpose drives me to go the extra mile, knowing that even a small contribution can have a lasting effect on the healthcare landscape for thousands of people.
A Community on the Rugby Field

Running a rugby academy might seem like an unusual “second job,” but it’s a role that I cherish. Watching my kids grow up on the rugby field instills in them values like teamwork, discipline, and resilience. Nothing beats the satisfaction of seeing them develop these traits firsthand. Beyond my own family, I get to watch other children in my community fall in love with the sport and build cherished memories on the pitch. Rugby isn’t just a game; it’s an experience that can shape a child’s life, offering what I believe is one of the best childhood experiences—learning, growing, and having fun in a supportive environment.
Purpose Over Passion
Purpose Over Passion
People often talk about the importance of passion, and while passion is significant, it’s not always enough. Passion is exhilarating but fleeting—it gives you a momentary high. Purpose, on the other hand, is what truly sustains you over time. Purpose is what drives you to keep going, to keep building, and to invest in something that may take years to see the full impact of. With purpose, I’m reminded that my work and commitments are part of something much larger. Purpose gives me the strength to put in the extra hours, make the sacrifices, and cherish each moment.
In balancing my time, I’ve realized that purpose, not passion, is the foundation of fulfillment. When you see yourself as a part of something meaningful, the daily challenges and sacrifices don’t feel like burdens—they’re investments into a future you believe in. For me, that future is in healthcare and rugby, two vastly different fields that together enrich my life and give me a reason to keep moving forward, day after day
