The Healthcare Crisis Solution Malaysia Desperately Needs | Founder of Kalsis, Jonathan Teoh

When cancer strikes Malaysian families, they face two crises: medical survival and financial ruin. Jonathan Teoh created Kelsis to solve this; converting home equity into healthcare funding while families keep living in their homes. This is impact investing that makes Malaysia's RM4.2 trillion capital markets work for ordinary people.

This conversation explores:
→ Why 1 in 10 Malaysians will face cancer & and why even the insured are going bankrupt
→ How a "reverse annuity" lets you unlock your home's value while staying in it for life
→ The future of tokenization: how everyday Malaysians could invest with as little as RM50
