On August 2, 2008, eighteen Exsas members gathered for the second Powertalk series in Kuala Lumpur held at Kinrara Golf Club, titled “My Journey to the Bursa”. The speaker was none other than our own, Tengku Yusof Tengku Ahmad Shahruddin, an ex-SEMSAS graduate of 1979.

Tengku shared his experiences starting from building his career before starting up his own company, to driving Dayang Enterprise into the Bursa. The event received very good responses from the participants where the questions range from the benefits of having one’s company publicly listed to as specific as how much capital is needed to run a certain operations. The informal ambience, allowed everyone to comfortably take part in the discussion and it was deemed a very fruitful session.

A special thanks to Tengku Yusuf for spending his own valuable time to share his knowledge with us. We hope more Exsas members will come forward to contribute towards producing more outstanding individuals in the Exsas community.

Previously, Exsas has organised one Powertalk session in KL and two in Kuantan (by Exsas@Kuantan).
