Dwi Emas’ Anne Tham - From Tuition Teacher to Education Entrepreneur
Anne Tham could have been any one of us. The only difference is that she took the plunge. To try and make a difference.
Otherwise she would have remained a tuition teacher, griping at the system’s many flaws, like so many other Malaysians.
Instead, she is today the head of a number of schools trying to make a difference, fully aware that an education – a proper one – is the key to unlocking a better future.
(Many thanks to the Asia School of Business for their collaboration with The Do More Podcast, in whose studio this conversation was recorded. The Asia School of Business is a partnership between MIT Sloan School of Management and Bank Negara Malaysia).
