A passionate pursuer of the science of learning, this self-taught journalist has undertaken independent research on the effectiveness of sensory-based learning on early education, as espoused by legends such as Maria Montessori and Glen Dorman. His non-profit-based initiative has helped at least two early learning centers in his native Malaysia come up with better-crafted modules for teaching toddlers as young as 3 months.
