Brief Autobiography
I was born in a family that had great difficulties. From the time I was small until Secondary School, I worked very hard helping my family make enough money to pay for daily expenses as well as schooling for my siblings. When I had free time, I helped my parents tap rubber, plant wet rice, manioc, sweet potatoes and so on. Sometimes I also cut classes in order to help my parents with their work. Other than that, when I had a long school vacation, I collected rattan and gharuwood in the rainforest to make money. I have also worked in night markets. While I was in secondary school, I also worked in an ice cream factory making a total of only RM 60.00 each month.

After passing the SPM exam, I moved to Kuala Lumpur to get an STPM degree during the day, while working nights. After passing the STPM exam, I worked at O.S.K. Securities as an information technology operator. I also received a diploma in Computers and Management from Cosmopoint in Kuala Lumpur

I was married in February 1996. I now have two children.

Cerita ringkas nsris ye'

Saya di lahirkan dalam keluarga yang sangat susah. Semasa kecil hingga sekolah menengah saya bekerja keras untuk menolong keluarga mencari duit untuk perbelanjaan harian dan persekolahan adik beradik. Di masa lapang saya menolong ibubapa untuk membuat kebun untuk menanam padi sawah, pokok getah, ubi kayu, ubi keledek dll. Kadang-kadang saya juga ponteng sekolah untuk menolong ibubapa dikebun. Selain itu, bila cuti panjang saya juga pergi mencari rotan dan kayu gharu didalam hutan. saya pernah bekerja sambilan di pasar malam. Semasa sekolah menengah saya pernah bekerja sambilan di kilang ais krim dengan pendapatan sebanyak RM 60.00 sebulan.

Selepas tamat peperiksaan SPM saya terus pergi ke Kuala Lumpur untuk mengambil STPM sambil bekerja sambilan di sebelah malam. Selepas tamat peperiksaan STPM saya bekerja di O.S.K Securities sebagai IT Operator. dan saya mengambil Diploma Computer & Management di Cosmopoint Kuala Lumpur.
